THE GOSPEL OF THE TEMPTATIONS : SEARCH THE DEMON OF HITTING THE WORD OF GOD IN HIS HUMANITY

.

If the devil can take pride in, relying on the weak points of the ambition and vanity, can make us what we want and get what craving since the dawn of time: who we prostrate ourselves before him and worshiping him call man. And for a better name man, then we will go directly into the house of Satan, as recently did the president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, to beatify the headquarters of the Radical Party the "spirituality" and "the precious heritage" of those who, such as the late Marco Pannella, the supreme gift of life attacked him and profaned, indicating as "civil rights" and as "social achievement" the monstrous crime of abortion [on the topic, see the article by John Cavalcoli: "Marco Pannella, “saint now !”», see WHO]

In this brief passage from the Gospel we are faced with a paradox: really it happened that the devil has tempted God Incarnate, the Word was made flesh ? [CF. Mt 4, 1-11 - text WHO]. Perhaps the devil attempted to play God in his humanity, pretending to be unaware of what Jesus was divine in his humanity and his divinity in human. Blinded by pride and by the delirium of omnipotence tend to overestimate the most of themselves and to underestimate others, why they are doomed to defeat. It may be that they do not fall in the near, but inevitably fall at the first change of season, with the wilting of wildflowers.

In Gospel of the temptations, one would think just that: that the Devil overestimate himself and underestimate God [following full text …]

THE MADONNA SOFT E PACIOCCONA LITTLE FATHER LIVIO FANZAGA ANTONIO AND THE BIG HEART CATHOLIC SOCCI INVITING TO PRAYER FOR THE POPE

.

In this section letters from readers, Father Giovanni Cavalcoli responds by explaining the reason for his dismissal by Radio Maria, occurred under this merciful Pope in which they are experiencing purges worthy of the old Soviet regimes; Father Ariel S.. Levi praises instead of Gualdo with affection and esteem that “damn Tuscan” Antonio Socci.

.

.

Dear Father Giovanni Cavalcoli,

we would appreciate if you yourself, who starred in the unfortunate story of Radio Maria, from which was then sent off for the claims which in truth would not do, He declares it to you as the events were held.

I began to work with Radio Maria station in 1993 and any accident had never happened, rather, I enjoyed the esteem of Father Livio Fanzaga, who had become enthusiastic diffuser of my book Hell esiste. The truth denied [Faith & Culture, 2010].

.

For some years now I was conducting a course for catechists and that Sunday, explaining the reason and the purpose of baptism, I said that it serves to remove the guilt and the punishment of original sin. Like this, for example, I remembered that earthquakes could be considered a consequence of original sin and God's call to conversion from sin.

.

In my catechesis, it was all framed in the mystery of original sin, because of which not only the man loses his original perfection, angelic creature from becoming immortal mortal creature, but also the very nature of creation is affected by this sin, becoming hostile to man and manifesting this hostility by tsunamis, earthquakes, large volcanic eruptions; or through the change of the geological structure of the earth itself, as the sea withdraws generating desert areas, or the sea advancing and submerges residential areas and arable areas, causing the survivors to emigrate elsewhere, to fight with famine and hunger. In short, that natural disasters described both in the Old Testament New.

.

All of this, in theology, It has always been connected to original sin, that touched both the man and the nature, ie the whole of creation, altering and thus corrupting the perfect balance originally created by God.

.

Over the centuries, God's mercy has also served of these events for the salvation of man. For instance: when the European population was decimated by the great Black Death of 1347, populations, time more Christian in their entirety, They interpreted that event as a reminder of God for calling to their conversion. And if we look only to the architectural appearance, on the one hand we see great unfinished works prior to 1374 - in this connection I come to mind among the many great church of San Petronio in Bologna -, on the other hand we, in the decades immediately following, the construction of beautiful buildings of worship representing the new man's dedication to God through faith, manifested not only with the works of art, but also through the great philosophical productions, literary and theological that followed, or even through the birth of many new forms of consecrated religious life.

.

In this sense, mine, expressed in that radio transmission, were words that called to mind the divine justice, but though, while, arouse in the Christian peace in the soul, because the believer sees in misfortune not only the sign of a just God, but also merciful; is something historical evidence that after certain catastrophic events, There have always been a great resurgence expressions, and that no one can reasonably deny, because it is written in our monuments still visible.

.

These words, inspired by the common Christian tradition, They aroused against Radio Maria, but particularly against me, immediate action outraged by several prelates, basarono that his comments "hot" about what had been written and reported by newspapers, instead of what I had actually said in the enacting part of a catechesis on original sin, the synthesis of which was already encapsulated in an article published a year before the page Theology from The Island of Patmos: God chastises and uses mercy [see WHO], that he did not arouse any scandal [N.d.R. We have occurred in the statistical details from 18.11.2015 at today's date, This article has been opened and read for a total of 71.203 times].

.

The allegations that have been raised - apart from the slander slanderous for a theologian known for decades as a faithful servant of the Church - are all based mostly on heretical principles, for which they are absolutely void and indeed deserving of being themselves the object of severe condemnation. In this regard I refer to Ariel S Articles. Levi di Gualdo, that in those days of controversy - after my superiors asked me via “precautionary” not to intervene or to publish the writings for the moment - intervened on our Patmos Island with precise and detailed accounts, putting the record straight and pointing openly heretical thoughts expressed by some bishops, and unfortunately by some high official of the Holy See [cf. WHO, WHO].

.

For instance, there were those who accused me of starting from a "pre-Christian god ', contrary to mercy. But saying this, my priest accuser, he thus showed that he was influenced by Marcion, heretic of the second century and father of the so-called heresy Marcionite, who claimed that, while the God of the Old Testament was a bad God, che win, the God of the new is the good God, which it is only mercy and not punish.

.

Another Bishop he accused me to have a "most pagan god", the assumption that the God who allows the earthquakes is not the God of the Bible, but the pagan. What completely false, since the Bible teaches very clearly that even earthquakes are warnings of divine mercy. Just consider the Book of Revelation or ads eschatological gospel.

.

The Evangelista Luca He gives precise words spoken by Jesus who says to his disciples,:

.

"See that you not be deceived. Many will come in my name, saying,: "It's me" and: "The time is near"; not follow them. When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified;. These things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end '. Then he said to them,: «People will rise up against people and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be earthquakes from place to place, famines and pestilences; There will be terrors and great signs from heaven [cf. LC 21, 8-11].

.

With verve sua notorious ironica, Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, in those days ridiculed:

.

"Surely, Christ the Lord, it was just a "pre-Christian god", because one thing remains beyond any possible discussion: Christ, It was not a Christian!».

.

Can we blame this my brother priest and theologian, that with a joke only apparently, sintentizzo obvious theological truth ?

.

If at that time I had had before that Bishop, I would have asked how, but above all what kind of answer he would have given, before the drama of an innocent creature dying two years in a pediatric oncology ward, consumed by an incurable cancer. Perhaps, this Bishop, It did not have an answer, but I will, and is not a response to Pope Giovanni Cavalcoli, but the Catholic faith. Well, Accordingly, first, that the innocent child is not guilty of the cancer that is consuming, since in God's plans, we, we were not created to be attacked by cancer and finally from death, my answer of faith, consequently my theological answer, is that cancer and death, are consequences of original sin has corrupted nature and has delivered to humanity descending imperfect nature, corrupt and deadly.

.

But wanting Worse yet. If someone had asked this bishop: "Why does God allow an innocent child die consumed by cancer just two years, while fine wrongdoers, who they spend the days of their life to do the worst harm to its neighbor and welcome the evil they do, They come to live to be ninety, finally he is dying without even having never sick and without having suffered from any kind of sickness? We men of faith, answer these questions, we always, because everyone has his answer and reason within the mystery that is the original sin.

.

Another Bishop, newly appointed, He accused me of saying 'nonsense' and 'nonsense', to "take the name of God in vain" and have a "childish concept of God". All these foolish and hurtful accusations against me, academic pontifical, I teach Thomistic theology for forty years, I sincerely feel I reject all the different senders, as I did from the start, while only answer my accusers rincaravano the dose saying: "There, also he denies to apologize!». Sincerely, I asked myself yesterday and I wonder to this day: how can, a theologian, apologizing for the Catholic doctrine ?

.

Father Livio accused me He had offended the mercy of the Madonna, since, saying that God punishes, I implicitly conceived as a cruel woman, associated with a cruel God. Who, poor Father Livio, He has done a shameful sudden about-face, fearfully interrupting his courageous pastoral line, in which, in his earlier books, Maria showed rightly fighting against the Dragon and denying my book about hell.

.

Here, then suddenly come out a soggy Madonna and easy-going, new look, updated to the most vulgar and dangerous misericordismo and doing good. But for Father Livio will not be enough jettison Giovanni Cavalcoli, As in the past he has done with Prof. Roberto de Mattei [cf. WHO], rather it should understand that against some ravenous insatiable enemies that now surround us on all sides and which has long had broken in our house, You must not yield, you have to fight, but not with a paciona Madonna and imbelle, but one who has conquered Satan and all heresies.

.

A story thanks to God ended, we impose some thoughts. In the days following the attacks suffered I have come thousands of messages of understanding, praise and solidarity, from abroad, by good simple faithful. Many lay theologians have stood up for me on several Catholic websites. But no bishop has been done live, his 250 that we have in Italy. The only one who supported me was S.It is. Mons. Giovanni D'Ercole, Bishop of Ascoli Piceno. This phenomenon is interpreted as, how do you explain, what does it mean?

.

I would say three things. Before, an obvious presence of the Holy Spirit in God's people more than the shepherds. Second, a crisis of widespread belief among the shepherds. Third, these good lay defenders of the faith have certainly behind the good priests and good bishops, which, however, they remain in the shadows, do not expose themselves. And that's not good. We are at war and we must fight. We have the weapons to win, It must come out and fight valiantly. It is not decent to snipers. The enemy has to down a peg. But why this can happen, We must show our strength. If we appear timid and yielding, such as a Father Livio, the enemy took advantage.

.

You have that priests and bishops who are behind the lay people come out into the open with courage. They no longer say to the laity: "Go on you, because you know ... I can not commit myself mica! But I will keep you in the shadows ". No. Bishops and priests should take the field to animate the combatants. The pastor must be the head of the flock. Also because we have to count on, know how many we are and who we are, we have to know each other. If we are hidden, they do not know each other; this decreases the strength, and it prevents us to organize and initiate joint action.

.

It is particularly important to free the Pope from the swarm of courtiers around him, who pretend to be servants of the Church and instead destroy it, that self-appointed collaborators of the Pope and instead flatter, deceive him and circuiscono, and possibly threaten it. They make him appear as enemies his true believers, while they pretend to be faithful, and are enemies.

.

In this confused situation, You must more than ever count on the Pope in the fight against modernism, although he sometimes seems marry appearances. What is needed more than ever to distinguish the Pope driving to victory, by his human failings, of which must not be taken into account, If he fails to correct them, because that would make us lose sight of the the Pope's help function.

.

So, not only the content of what I said, but also the opportunity to have it said, as I pointed out above, contrary to what appeared to someone, He intended to be a source of Christian comfort, just for poor earthquake victims.

.

This of which I realize, Today more than ever, It is how difficult it is for many transpose the Christian lexicon, sometimes for the clergy themselves. Therefore, talking about certain issues, We should never assume anything, lingering even in the explanations that might seem obvious, moved in this direction by the knowledge that among the listeners, not only can be those who are not willing to listen, but also of those who so totally wanted, I dare say evil, often they misunderstand intentionally and then sow discord.

.

How it happened shows how, on one hand we are experiencing a widespread crisis of faith, But the Holy Spirit never fails to be felt even in the darkest moments why we endure suffering, We nurture hope and we are strong in doing good.

.

Taking my full and active work his The Island of Patmos, I take this opportunity to thank all those who prayed for me and I ask all of them also a prayer for my beloved Order of Friars Preachers of St. Domenico di Guzmán, because I never cease, in joy and in sorrow, in sickness and in health, to be grateful to God for having me in his service as a priest and Dominican theologian, until the end of my life, whatever the cost and whatever the cost, I will carry out my mission with the help of the Blessed Vergine Maria of the Rosary.

THE BIG HEART CATHOLIC ANTONIO SOCCI INVITING TO PRAYER FOR THE POPE

.

.

.

.

Dear Father Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo.

Some time ago she refuted the book by Antonio Socci, It is not Francis ", with a long article. Let me know what you think of the last article published by Socci on his blog The stranger [Ed. cf. WHO].

Mattia Vizzini

.

.

.

I read with pleasure the beautiful and touching article by Antonio Socci [cf. WHO], commented shortly after by Roberto de Mattei on the agency Catholic Correspondence Romana with the dry and aseptic balance of the scholar that analyzes a fact and the comments, as in the style of this great Church historian [cf. WHO].

.

I do not know if Antonio Socci has reflected on some throws that in the past I focused its, from my short essay in refutation of his book It is not Francis [cf. WHO]. But if there is one thing that I remember very well - and here the principle applies writings remain - it is that just waging criticism I have always emphasized two different elements, an objective and a subjective. The objective fact: Antonio Socci is a true believer, a devout Catholic son of the Church of Christ. The subjective data: Antonio Socci I love her and to him I always had estimated, without ever ceasing to consider it as a journalist and an unquestionable talent commentator.

.

But now we come to the "Partners" phenomenon, whose phenomenality is primarily linked to the fact that he belongs to a "race cursed by God and men", ie Tuscan, people I know well by my own birth line. Not that I want to compete in the "cursed spirit", but certainly are more "I cursed" by Antonio Socci, because while he is a Tuscan undoubted purity, I'm rather a "mestizo". Tuscany for generations is my maternal family, because my father's family is Roman strain. And so, at the “Tuscan nastiness”, sufficient to go into Purgatory until the parousia, I add the Roman spirit which if necessary makes me a happy medium between Boccaccio and Pasquino, though I do not go around the Urbs Quirite to put up posters written in Roman dialect of is dad …

.

To understand Antonio Socci also as a talented journalist, must enter the Tuscanity, if anything making reference to some characters in the world of journalism have left a historical mark, perhaps by virtue of their character of Tuscan, ie "people cursed by God and men".

.

In Antonio Socci is reflected what was the consistency and the courage to Indro Montanelli, and at the same time the blood character and intelligently impulsive Oriana Fallaci, that just when played at the pulse, He had actually studied with prudence and wisdom also altered sighs which then flowed out of his mouth or from his pen. And those who like myself have known in their youth these two characters - not only for their fame and their writings, but also in person -, He does not hesitate to sense that Antonio Socci is in its way a synthesis of these two wizards kind is talented, but far from easy to treat.

.

The 29 January I sent a message managers of various telematic magazines, Catholic websites and blogs, including Antonio Socci, to which I wrote:

.

"The worst thing that in certain circumstances we can do, It is to stay in our so-called backyard. We can also argue and attack each other on certain issues ecclesial and pastoral, but before such cases, everything has to go in the third order because the defense of the doctrine and faith goes forward all, including personal frictions, likes or dislikes, different ways of thinking and so on. For if the soldiers at war they start fighting with each other instead of fighting, needless to say what would happen …»

.

What were "the facts of this kind» to which I alluded in the email ? The fact was one: the intolerable attacks targeting by a theologaster patently heretical, or in any case non-Catholic, that the evidence shows is Andrea Grillo, who repeatedly attacked the Cardinal Carlo Caffarra, considered a master of Catholic moral world famous even by the scholars who do not think like him, but with proper intellectual honesty will always recognize the great value.

.

In defense of Cardinal Carlo Caffarra, and refutation of the folly of Andrea Grillo, his The Island of Patmos It was published a text of great theological depth [cf. WHO], that in that private message put at the disposal of the various sites and blogs Catholics, so the defense could make her own, thus showing, our increasingly powerful opponents, which if necessary the true Catholics faithful to the doctrine and the Magisterium of the Church are linked together.

.

Imagine, these Catholics I even answered. And this for the simple fact that - as I wrote and complained two years ago -, these so-called Catholics, in truth they are only quarrelsome, self-referential and often tremendous narcissists tend to talk to him, locked up in the ghetto or otherwise delimited in their psychotic backyard. As a theologian and as a pastor in charge of souls I have tried several times to tell them, on various occasions and unsuccessfully, who face certain great themes of faith must show unity, instead of making people laugh rightly our enemies palesandoci as a group of limbs scattered about the forest, inside which there rather also launch the arrows against each other.

.

A nothing is served, however, the invitation to these scattered individuals who now rant now mourn him, but above all a lot like what you talk about him. Needless my invitation to form through the various magazines, websites and blogs a "Holy League", mindful of the wise exhortation Pauline: "But if you bite and devour one another, heed that are not consumed by one another!» [Gal 5, 15].

.

These petty ranging between the ghetto and the orticello self surrounded by barbed wire, Today I began to rend their garments even to those who until yesterday were their favorites Lefebvre, which they have begun to launch high treason charges for their ongoing negotiations with the Holy See, I would ask: You think that today riusciremmo to win a new Battle of Lepanto shouting "Ave Maria!»? Because with an armed Brancaleone crush the quarrelsome like you, the Muslims would defeat submerging with a laugh, while your various factions would be taken to quarrel among themselves on the fact that’Ave Maria It should be recited in Latin, a straight tone, with forty lighted candles and with the fabrics of vestments whose manufacture must be earlier than 20 September 1870, date of the capture of Rome which marked the fall of the Papal States. Because this is the grotesque theater which unfortunately we are reduced: arguing on the irrigation of the garden daisies in danger of wilting in the heat developed by the flames that are burning all the house.

.

Alas I am poorly rebounded on a rubber wall, without being able to make people understand even the obvious: the evil that corrupts the Church today, for imperare must first divide, and in this work of division, we make the henchmen of the evil splendid service giving them a result of guaranteed success and with their minimum effort.

.

Only Antonio Socci seems to have been thinking about some of my words. And it is clear: it is my pure guess based on the fact that his last wife reported just now written all instances that unnecessarily try to carry on for two years, in a desperate and unfortunately at times futile attempt to remove the watering of the hands Barbie doll to those who are losing precious time to water the daisies, explaining equally useless so that you have to shut down as soon as the fire that is burning all the house.

.

Now I will try to outline the difference running between two authentic believers and men of faith as Antonio Socci and Roberto de Mattei, compared to the plethora of self than on the closed ghettos and on the divisions they find their reason for being and existence. But before outlining some differences need clarification: Why, Antonio Socci and Roberto de Mattei, in some circumstances I have reserved harsh treatment, while other subjects I have treated them with submerging sarcastic turn took [cf. WHO]? For a simple fact: Antonio Socci and Roberto de Mattei are two people who live and who suffer intimately the Catholic Church, with which they have an authentic relationship son-mother. The others, instead, are mostly former politicians unsuccessfully, variously failed or trombati, only able to speak with the contentiousness of the councilors of the province countries, that not being able to break even as a constituency advisors, They found in the Catholic Church as a place to vent for their psychopathology. Having said that I note that the columns of The Island of Patmos, the distinguished truly Catholic scholar Roberto de Mattei has been supported by me and defended many times in all the great themes of faith and doctrine [between the various writings see WHO].

.

Because I got together two such different people as Antonio Socci and Roberto de Mattei? Exactly why: because they are very different but similar way across the drive into the mystery of faith.

.

Roberto de Mattei, Roman-born descendant of a family of the Sicilian aristocracy, It has the natural aplomb perfect gentleman, person is always very measured, especially when he gets angry, so much so that it is not easy to understand even when he is angry. Antonio Socci, Tuscany for generations, It born into a working class family in the province of Siena, son of a deep Christian sentiments miner, Militant in the first Christian Democrat who was. Man on whom - his father miner -, Antonio Socci wrote repeatedly touching words related primarily to the feelings and the wisdom of his beloved parent. Antonio Socci is a blood son of the peoples of ancient Etruria, and when he gets angry, his anger manifests it in every way, including the use of theatricality of Tuscany, that they not infrequently to be egregious in their hyperbolic expressions. I always certain that Tuscans are able to make people laugh even God and the Blessed Vergine Maria with their blasphemies, because sometimes they are so colorful, elaborate and imaginative - but especially those without the slightest intention of offending God and the Madonna -, that it finds it hard to imagine any of these commoners buzzurri hell in Dante's circle of blasphemers, place to blaspheme really we need the conscious, stops and devilish desire to offend God and the Blessed Vergine Maria.

.

For Antonio Socci, the Roman Pontiff, Another was not so that her beloved father made supreme perfection Christological and apostolic. Antonio Socci has revered his father as worthy paterfamilias, as culturally simple man, but with that innate wisdom resulting from the culture of that sense of faith who led St. Caterina da Siena, unlettered, illiterate, empyrean of the doctors of the Church. Because that for every good Christian is the Roman Pontiff: the supreme father of family Christi.

.

I do not mean to psychoanalyze dear Antonio Socci, especially in a public document, quite the opposite: I intend to justify he and several other faithful devoted sons of the Church that increasingly come to our confessionals with no easy questions to be resolved, related to quite a few unhappy and the reigning Pontiff expressions, which it is the most exalted of all the worst enemies of the Church, Plus it creates bewilderment in the living members of the faithful who make up the Body of Christ which is the Church [I refer to my previous article, WHO].

.

Antonio Socci, as many of us, including myself, She has been blessed by God with the grace of a loving father, wise, with paternal authority and authority, capable as such to be credible and valuable guide for children.

.

All these features, we can recognize in man Jorge Mario Bergoglio? it reflects, what are the characteristics of the caring father, wise, with paternal authority and authority, capable as such to be credible and valuable guide for children? It omits to answer, limiting myself to reiterate what I said in my detailed historical and theological comments to Antonio Socci about the book on It is not Francis [cf. WHO]. And that in a nutshell, the answer was this: a bad father, It does not cease to be the legal father.

.

The problem of the "bad father", we live it day after day, mainly because of dangerous courtiers and pimps pernicious of which he hath been surrounded, acting with all the typical dangers of unintelligent and equally ill prepared philosophically, historical, theological and juridical, but even despite they believe to be shrewd, or to be able to manage and control everything, without even make account instead of being managed and controlled, often from the worst might exist.

.

In Antonio Socci, as in many other faithful and devoted children of the Church, first he had to explode the discomfort, through the anger that he write to the blood Oriana Fallaci's book titled The Rage and the Pride, which was by no means an expression of anger, Despite the title, but the representation and the narrative of an elaborate anger. Equally Antonio Socci, writing his It is not Francis, he first pulled out and then elaborate their anger, moreover entirely understandable and in many respects also shareable both on human and on that Christian.

.

I do not think that Antonio Socci Today would write that book again, but it has been valuable for him and also for us; and I also believe that in the future, near or far, has not just no need to have recourse to deny himself, because that book was a valuable time to process your authentic Catholic life, which as such does not require and does not need just any posthumous denial.

.

In the true faithful son of Holy Mother Church open to listening, as I said earlier I prevail by the gift and mystery of grace sense of faith, that instead unfortunately it does not prevail in rabid ends in themselves, in contentious and in pathological narcissists recalled previously, to which it is taken off the dispute and division, It took off just their way of being and existence. And these are those who, as I said a little while ago, in today Lepanto it would defeat inundated with a big laugh from Muslims, and instead of fighting are taken to quarrel among themselves on the most formal and unnecessary technicalities of liturgical rubrics, saying with each other: "Mine is the Mass of All Time », with others that replicate … "And, But mine is the Mass of All Time, but that ever and as such is very more and more !».

.

Antonio Socci understood, as many of us, that we are in this moment in history to do with a paterfamilias that is exposing the Holy Bride of Christ to prostitution under the streetlights of sidewalks; clubbing the sheep of his flock, which after being inflated barrel joyful runs to say to all the lost sheep who have done well to get lost and that above all must remain lost. Or maybe it was not under this pontificate Augusto, that the heretic Luther, for the worst clutches Teutonic fell immediately on the Successor of Peter, it ended up becoming even a "reformer" and a tender soul, "well-intentioned" ?

.

Antonio Socci, since childhood, he learned to be a good son of a worthy father; and how he, this, They have learned and also lived a lot of us.

.

Son, especially a grown son and mature, however, it must also have the ability to accept the reality of a bad father, never take the easy way, one absolutely not viable leading to say: is not my father ... is not the real father!

.

The existence of the bad father It is a dramatic reality, as is that of the wicked sons. But one thing which in any case can not be denied, It is fatherhood.

.

As a pastor in charge of souls I can say in good conscience one thing: I have known, inside and outside the confessional, People on their way even into his eighties who were children of bad fathers, of which reminded one by one all the bad actions: the lack of care for the family, the beatings given to mother, the mistreatment of children. but yet, several of these children, even before the painful and disastrous memories of certain fathers anything but model, now finding their way to the end of their lives, they were able to tell me, their confessor, some key words for the acquisition of inner peace with themselves: "In his own way, my father, however also he left me something good. One thing is certain: is the father that life has given me, I could never deny that his son, although I would have liked to have much better, compared to a father after all disastrous as it was him ".

.

Together with Antonio Socci we never cease to pray for the reigning Pontiff, that with true filial devotion we remember every day in the Holy Mass canon, with the addition of a special prayer intention: that the grace of God always protect Peter and the Petrine ministry which underpins the mystery of the Church, by carelessness and the man limitatezze Jorge Mario Bergoglio. We are well aware that the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio will, but the ministry of Peter, on which rests the mystery of the Church, will remain until the return of Christ at the end of time. E, very mercifully, when Christ the Lord "will return in glory to judge the living and the dead", do not tell all: “Next all, that all of you have been saved!”. Christ Supreme Judge separate the wheat from the chaff; and weeds will be tied in bundles and burned Hell, while the good grain will be stored in Heaven for all eternity [cf. Mt 13, 24-30]. For it is the God's mercy, certainly not according to the questionable theological opinions, but according to the deposit of the Catholic faith.

Most of our churches They are works of art of extraordinary beauty, intended use of which may not be the dormitory service for homeless people nor the cafeteria service for the needy, which in both cases can cause serious or even irreparable damage to these cultural assets, that regardless of belief or non-belief, by faith or no faith of the citizens of the Italian Republic, are and remain the property belonging to the artistic heritage not only of Italy, but of all humanity. The Holy See can have as best wishes, and sovereignly, of the buildings within the national territory of Vatican City State and of the areas enjoying extraterritorial scheme under the agreements enshrined in the International Law, but it can not dispose at will of all the other numerous buildings of worship of great historical and artistic interest you instead on the territory of the Italian Republic and which are part of our national heritage, including many churches in these times of rampant and villain pauperism they are used around our country as dormitories and canteens.

.

The Holy See it could also decide - as it did with the church of San Callisto which enjoys the regime of extraterritoriality with its adjacent building - to set up a dormitory for homeless or one soup kitchen, because that is stable in the sovereignty of its territory; but it can not use as a use such a monumental church of the fifteenth century which is located on the territory of the Italian Republic.

.

We make this, Mr. Minister, that only in Rome there are hundreds of proprietary structures of the Patrimony of the Apostolic Administration, owned by the Vicariate of Rome, owned by the Congregation from Propaganda Fide, owned by several hundreds of male and female religious congregations, already engaged for many years to hotels, although called more bland "shelters" or "Holiday homes", thus receiving the related benefits, while offering, some of them, hotel services also of superior quality [see list of these religious holiday sites, WHO].

.

Given that the Church in Rome benefits from all these facilities operating as "shelters" or "Holiday homes", not understand why, to house the homeless, We should put at risk our monumental churches.

.

Whereas the Roman Pontiff It is very sensitive to the homeless, it would be to remember that a few steps from Bernini's Colonnade, beneath which His Holiness has been good enough to prepare baths and showers bums, is a comfortable “Home reception” five-star hotel in the Palazzo Cardinal Cesi in Via della Conciliazione, General Curia of the properties of the Society of the Divine Savior. Because, the homeless, They have not been accommodated in this “Home reception” owned Salvatorian Fathers, instead of in a changed church in dorm? [see website of comfortable “Home reception”, WHO]. A few meters from there is also the comfort of the Bernini colonnade “halfway house Paul VI”, which also benefiting, like the San Callisto, the regime of extraterritoriality, It should not even bother to pay hotel taxes [see WHO, WHO].

.

Because, the homeless, They were not accommodated in any of several "houses of hospitality" of ownership of the various congregations and religious orders scattered around Rome? [see list of these "host" religious houses, WHO].

.

Throughout history, on the occasion of extraordinary events such as wars, epidemics and earthquakes, It has not even made it necessary to seize the buildings of worship, because it was the Church itself to offer them, and to set up inside them infirmaries, dormitories for homeless and canteens; and the first to provide charitable service in them, They have always been priests, religious men and women.

.

Since this there are, however, emergencies of this kind, but especially, Whereas the Church and its religious structures have stable in large quantities, many of whom already used for “shelters”, it would not be appropriate to accommodate the poor homeless people shivering inside these structures “hospitality”, instead of within the historic churches ?

.

Beyond the walls of the State of Vatican City, someone really think we can make use and destruction of our heritage that art of which you, Mr. Minister, Is responsable, It is having been appointed by the Government of the Italian Republic to the protection of our historical assets, artistic and monumental? No bum and no Roma, indeed, Urine on the stones and on the stable marble found inside Vatican City, starting from those of the Domus Sanctae Martha, since their urine, along with their feces left on the streets close to the Papal Basilica of Saint Peter, the scatter all and only on the Italian territory rigor [see our previous article, WHO].

.

For this reason, a number far lower than citizens of the Italian Republic who profess the Catholic faith and who are now increasingly outraged by this contempt towards our historical assets, artistic and monumental, Begs her to intervene as soon as possible and to exercise the powers granted to you by the laws of our country, avoiding the continuation of this terrible destruction.

.

We would be grateful, therefore, if you would take at least consider this our legitimate request, so that the civil and political power of this our secular and democratic country, can intervene to curb the damage caused by many ecclesiastics to stable worship of great historical and artistic interest, because no one can be allowed to sully our enormous wealth of art and culture; even to those who can see an authentic expression of the Christian faith only in Villas miseries. We, the Christian faith expressed by the art of human ingenuity, we are more likely to see it in Pieta by Michelangelo, much less so in the leak made by a “brother bum” over a fine marble of the fifteenth century.

SAINTS PUT TO THE TEST EVEN FROM THE DEAD: A MEMORY OF FATHER TOMAS TYN

.

In the Church today, compared by the Supreme Pontiff to a field hospital of the third world war, jam-packed with sick and wounded of all kinds, already shortage of medical personnel, subtract to the care of the sick a valid medical and zealous as Father Tomas Tyn, under the pretext that certain injuries do not accept, or even do not exist, or they were invented by the same Tomas, It appears an idea of ​​serious foolishness, such as to arouse strong suspicion that it will not be really concerned men of the good of the Church and of souls, but to stay afloat in the sea of ​​the world. The famous philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, eyepatch dell'arduità of philosophical speculation, He had the humility to ask the gardener in a convent. Perhaps this would be the best job for some.

PDF print format article

.

.

The Island of Patmos recalls the Servant of God Tomas Tyn, friar and priest of the Dominican Order, model of priestly life and theologian Thomas Aquinas were comparable to the twentieth century, He returned to the Father's House on January 1, 1990, just 39 years of age.

.

.

.

The Saints are tested not only alive, but also from dead. Alive are being tested by God and are found right; dead are put to the test by men, not having understood or not wanting to understand God's judgment, They do not know or do not want to recognize and appreciate their holiness. In these cases, it may happen that the Congregation for the Causes of Saints the same desire to do an audit, opening a process of beatification. That's what happened to the Servant of God Father Tomas Tyn, which the Fathers of 'Patmos Island they've got to deal.

.

In this article I wish to point out and also recommend the excellent book dedicated by reatino jurist and scholar of theological sciences Gianni T. Baptists: "The pipe di Padre Tomas. theological writings " [1].

.

The book collects an introduction by Roberto Rivera, the Cenacle executive and the International Tomas Tyn, a presentation of the Baptists and the Dominican theologian Giovanni Cavalcoli, then an anthology of theological texts of the Servant of God. In particular, Baptists, by heat, culture and eloquence which characterize the literary expression of his deep, persuasive and enlightened Catholic faith, It illustrates the salient quality of the theological thought of Father Tomas Tyn, putting the spotlight on the genuineness of his doctrine, the result not only of study, but also the intense life of charity, a faithful exemplary teaching of the Magisterium of the Church and St. Thomas Aquinas, generous in distributing, as a good Dominican, l '' water of wisdom ", prudent and provident in healing the ills of the spirit of our times, lucidly diagnosed and treated with the medicine of critical discernment and intellectual mercy, starting from a position of great balance peacemaker and doctrinal and moral impartiality, that promote the rapprochement and reconciliation between the two opposing parties of Lefebvre and the modernists, in the principle of "progress in continuity", enunciated and explained by Pope Benedict XVI.

.

It is also noteworthy the precious booklet "That coffee by the sea. philosophy and theology essays »[2], with a preface by Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, who, praising the fidelity to the teachings of the Servant of God to the sublime and immortal doctrine of St. Thomas, takes this opportunity to recall the importance of the Angelic Doctor, always recommended by the Supreme Pontiffs, also to critically understand the situation of modern thought, assuming the positive aspects and refuting the errors.

.

The Saints of Paradise, now forever in heavenly glory and free from "this threshing which makes us so ferocious', in the words of Dante, rejoice for having passed the test before God and the good, who were able to appreciate them; As to the fact of not receiving honor and glory from men of this world, they were also men of the Church, they don't care, but as well from there they continue their charitable work for the salvation of souls, They have compassion for these poor blind, especially if they are in good faith, for having misunderstood the testimony or because fearful to take the defenses of a Saint, or because misinformed by envious or evil tongues.

.

And why continue even from heaven to this earth to show signs of their intercession, animating and encouraging their devotees, despite the opposition of the wicked, to continue promoting their knowledge and veneration and increasing the number of those who appreciate and imitate their qualities.

.

Anyhow, i Santi always leave in this world, though perhaps with few or very few, the memory of their sanctity; especially among those good Catholics, studying their doctrine, in the first place is theologians, imitate the example and ask them intercession.

.

The fame of their sanctity, But, if the environment is healthy and receptive, sometimes it spreads rapidly and extensively; sometimes slowly and laboriously, because it is hindered and falsified by obtuse or hostile forces, which disclose or slander or do everything because you do not speak of the Holy or persecute his devotees. Is this, under certain aspects, to use two different paradigms, It is the case of the Venerable Pope Pius XII, as in other respects it is the Father Leon Dehon, which was blocked in the process finally closed the beatification ceremony, as a result of the protests completely unfounded made by the Jewish Community who turned to this holy man of God of peregrine and unjustified accusations of anti-Semitism.

.

These forces are more effective and harmful if they have influence in the Church, if they have the political power or if they manage to spread false ideas and costumes, which end up harming the authority and to the fame of the Holy.

.

God allows these oppositions certainly not to turn off the memory of the Holy, but on the contrary to test, strengthen and spread devotion towards him, He is training his devotees to respond to attacks and objections.

.

After two thousand years of Christian civilization, we are used to a certain hagiography more interested in praising the saint to historical truth, to conceive the way leading to their canonization as a kind of triumphal march amid a cheering crowd of enthusiastic faithful, overshadowing, minimizing or silencing of all the action of those forces, often from the inside of the Church, which opposed the canonization of the saint, almost fearing that this may throw some shade on his Venerability.

.

Moreover, the Church, in its ancient wisdom and experience of human affairs, It has now worked for centuries a special legal procedure to adjust the course of the debate about the verification of the candidate's holiness. This is the process of beatification and canonization. Ie it comes to checking, through a sieve of testimonies, I know the reputation of holiness the candidate has or does not have an actual factual and legal basis.

.

It is not excluded that the opponents Beatification can produce, in procedural headquarters, testimony or evidence against the sanctity of the candidate, prompt the judge to cancel the Cause. But it is clear that any act of force, aimed at stopping the process from, It would be legally invalid and morally very reprehensible, even if this, Unfortunately, It was the case of Father Tomas Tyn, Figure particularly dear to the Fathers of 'Patmos Island and to all our staff.

.

A thing It was made possible by the current climate of confusion in the field of faith, for which many can not distinguish what is Catholic and what is heretical or what interests them relatively, because it is widely believed that, as a result of ecumenism, being a Catholic or a heretic, the ideas of St. Thomas or those of Luther, They do not oppose as true and false, but simply as opinions diverse.

.

so many, not only theologians, but also among the shepherds, Catholics are named, but not of the fact. In fact they are heretics; but no one can deprive them from the mind to be more Catholic than ever, and indeed modern and advanced Catholics.

.

It so happens that the true Catholic, for example a Tomas Tyn, It is persecuted and opposed by false Catholics, present in his own order. Of course, This has always happened in the history of the Church. Just think of the Protestant persecution of Catholics in the sixteenth century.

.

The Dominican St. John of Cologne, at that time he was martyred by the Lutherans. And it has always happened that certain Saints were persecuted or misunderstood or would suffer trials by superintendent. Here the examples are countless. You need only think of a St. Pio of Pietrelcina or St. John of the Cross or St. Teresa of Jesus or Father Marie–Joseph Lagrange.

.

Two reformers

.

However it may not happen that a Pope martirizzi a Saint. In this connection, just think of the case of the Dominican Girolamo Savonarola, which in reality it was abandoned to death by the Pope, not because heretic, but because according to Alexander VI, disobedient.

.

In fact, the Pope recognized the orthodoxy of Fra Girolamo, or you may suspect of heresy the Pope, Why can't I. Of course, Savonarola was a victim of the Pope, But not for reasons of faith, but because the Pope could not stand his message prophetic e morale, and its reform of costumes, inspirational Catherinian, that sounded harsh rebuke to the Court of Rome and the Pope himself.

.

It was a reform that touched only the costumes and not as the false Luther, who corrupted the doctrine and had the effrontery to accuse not only unheard of heresy Pope Leone, but also to reject the same institution of the papacy. Instead, the reproach made to the Pope by Savonarola touched only his moral conduct and his government of the Church, because as far as the papal Magisterium, He knew very well that the Pope can not err in dogma and therefore can not happen that a heretic pope condemn an ​​innocent on charges of heresy.

.

So at Savonarola not exactly agree the title of "martyr", because it would be unfair and offensive to the Pope, It was also an Alexander VI who did not shine of virtue in his private life, but rather that of "confessor". You can still and must speak of wrongful conviction, which then the Pope himself repented, because he at first hearkened to evil tongues. Doing in the recent past some historical research on the figure of Savonarola, I could find that a bad figure made her even the Master General of the Dominican Order, Gioacchino Turriani, that the death of this famous Friar wrote a petty flattering letter to the Pope, rejoicing with him for what he deemed the punishment of a criminal.

.

Savonarola was not, therefore, killed in hatred of the faith, that the Dominican was very pure, but out of hatred for his message prophetic and reformer. If therefore the Cause of Father Tomas Tyn was blocked by the modernists, Rome, that does not err in faith, and that one day, sooner or later, condemn the current modernism reflux, recognize the sanctity of the Servant of God. Modernism will, Father Tomas Tyn remain. He hath put down the mighty from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly.

.

The issue of the canonizations

.

Are rare glorifications of saints that take place smoothly and to a kind of plebiscite of peoples and of princes supplications to the Pope, as was the case for the Saints of the Tridentine Reform.

.

Please remember that the sanctity the same Founder of Christianity, Our Lord Jesus Christ, He has been recognized by his disciples, despite the strong opposition expressed by the very authorities, they would have to recognize it. And even today, after two thousand years, Judaism the authorities refuse to recognize the holiness of Christ.

.

These problems arise especially when the question arises of whether or possibilities, by the Church, to initiate a cause of beatification. There are in fact true saints legally canonizzabili, ma, since the canonizing is also an act with intent and pastoral reflections, which should be appropriate and useful in the present ecclesial situation, it may happen that the existence of Santi have also all the requirements, but it is possible that the Church, at least for now, considers it inappropriate or impossible in the canonization, as in the case of the two different but similar paradigms initially reported: the Venerable Pope Pius XII and the Father Leon Dehon.

.

this happened, for instance, when to the Blessed Paul VI there were those who sought to promote the Cause of the Spanish Civil War martyrs, but the Spanish Bishops, all things considered, He judged that for the moment it was not appropriate or convenient. They came, however, the good times, with the pontificate of St. John Paul II and the thing was done.

.

For my daily contacts with il Father Ariel S. Levi of Gualdo and my closeness even with Father John Cavalcoli, who are both employed for the Causes of Saints, I have learned that if a Cause is set in motion, means that there, how to dictate the rules of the Church about, a the reputation of holiness the people of God, by its sufficient distribution, in the opinion of the competent Bishop or the Holy See, on that basis, give way to the process or the diocesan. Then you also need other items relating to the regularity of the process and freedom, such as the postulator of zeal, righteousness of the judge, the diligence of the experts, the objectivity and credibility of the witnesses, to the availability of sufficient financial means to advance the cause, Whereas some processes may require research also in various parts of the world, clinical and scientific expertise when it comes to ascertaining miracles, in the examination of which are almost always involved the entire team of scholars, and what with the relative costs.

.

In the history of the process of beatification things do not always run smooth, because the candidate can be discussed, misunderstood and thwarted within the Church and also for a long time, until it becomes clear and oppositions are won. Consider the cases of Antonio Rosmini or Duns Scotus, Pius IX, of Pius XII or Marie–Joseph Lagrange.

.

Savonarola is discussed five centuries if deserves to be beatified, and yet the Church has not come to a conclusion. Meister Eckhart was a virtuous man, but his was a thought with pantheistic roots. Who knows how many Saints could have been proclaiming in communist countries, if the scheme had not put the gag to the Church. God allows evil block or prevent the formation or continuation of several Causes, to fortify the faithful in martyrdom and punish the wicked sacrilegious.

.

This may also delay much the start of the trial. The cause of the martyrs of the Spanish Civil War began only with St. John Paul II, once overcome the opposition by the Spanish Communists. And these difficulties occur not because of the saints of the corporal works of mercy, Causes of which normally carry them quickly, successfully and without shock, because every person of good heart, although not a believer, He can appreciate those who dedicate themselves to the poor, to small, for elderly or sick.

.

The cases of martyrdom clear have always had the possibility of a quick process. But they are not always safe, and there may be a suspicion that it is not a true martyrdom, hatred of faith. It is necessary that there are no obstacles on the part of political power, Why or an anti-Christian power could oppose or why certain evidence of alleged martyrdom can be really civil or political subversion rebellion. Some totalitarian regimes are skilled in passing on subversion cases of true martyrdom.

.

Napoleon persecuted the monks, the Dominicans and the Jesuits, but it was kind to the hospitals or social care. Everyone understands the sanctity of Don Luigi Orione, San Camillo de 'Lellis, St. John Bosco, only that of St. Thomas Aquinas or St. Athanasius of Alexandria, St. John Chrysostom or St. Robert Bellarmine.

.

At a time like this It would be a difficult thing, if not really impossible, to advance the cause of beatification of a model of virtue and doctrine as Cardinal Rafael Merry del Val, who as a young diplomat of the Holy See provided all necessary materials to Pope Leo XIII, who then proceeded to declare the invalidity of sacred ordination in the Anglican Communion, having failed the continuity of apostolic succession, so that we can no longer even speak of illicit ordinations, these are orders of all invalid. Not to mention the fundamental and irreplaceable contribution made by Merry del Val to St. Pius X for his sentence to modernism. Definitely, one day, Merry del Val will know the honors of the altars, but certainly not in this historical moment characterized by terrible theological drift.

.

Causes more contrasted They are those which affect the works of spiritual mercy, come, for instance, to teach the ignorant and admonish sinners, although they in themselves are more important. In fact, no difficulty recognizing the physical needs of ourselves and others. Instead pride blinds us, when we seek the glory of this world, when we have to recognize that they have fallen into heresy, when we do not want to give up sin, and when we do not let ourselves be correct.

.

Because of this, those who educate the virtues, the wisdom and holiness, reformers, spiritual guides, those who defend the oppressed or hunting sellers from the temple, the scourge of vice, the heralds of divine punishment, those who discover the flaws of clever or trying to correct the Superior, I am often misunderstood, thwarted, and sometimes hated, even by the Superiors, by fellow believers, and religious brothers or priesthood.

.

The sick in body normally they leave heal and have pleasure, but not always the case for sufferers of the spirit, indeed sometimes not even recognize that they are sick. So we understand why the Causes of those who have dedicated themselves wisely, heroically and courageously, with immense charity, to the care of this type of health insurance, are difficult to start and, When I started, opponents see them as a smokescreen, and oppose unfair thousand obstacles and a thousand loopholes and false reasons, do not satisfy the constraint, to stop them or cancel them. “Whoever commits sin, Christ says, He hates the light ".

.

In the field of body care, no single medical science, with its therapeutic prescriptions, accepted by all. Instead, in the field of spiritual care, but there is an objective moral science, corroborated by moral theology, in itself objective and universal.

.

In this case it is more difficult analyze the problem and then give proper care, because the matter is more complex and obscure and darken the passions more Daylights. Hence the struggle of philosophies and religions between them and the difficulty of unanimous sharing of universal values. From here, even within the Church itself, the evaluation contrasts in judging the sanctity or less of a given subject.

.

The issue of Father Tomas Tyn Cause

.

Father Tomas Tyn, as the reader who knows him will have already realized, is situated, as a theologian and moralist, in this the spirit of the medical profession. He left a reputation for holiness, then spread around the world, beginning with Bologna, where he worked from 1972 al 1989.

.

Even in his homeland, the Czech Republic, he left a reputation for holiness, so much so that it is there that the cause was officially promoted, following the awesome news that the day of his holy death, on January 1st 1990, He had coincided with the inauguration date of the new government in the country, liberated by the communist regime. Indeed, as narrated in the Acts, the Servant of God, the day of his priestly ordination, through the hands of Blessed Pope Paul VI, the 29 June 1975, He had made an offering to God of their own lives for the liberation of the Fatherland and the Church from communism.

.

Father Tomas relived what St. John says of Christ: "He came among his, and his own received him not ". In life he was persecuted by the communists of his homeland, much to have to leave you. After death, Although he admired and revered by the good, in and out of his Order, he is still the subject of hostility, contempt and misunderstanding on the part of the world.

.

The high spirit of serviceO his prophetic word of Dominican, the conclusive refutation of the errors, frank, thundering and courageous preaching of the Gospel in its entirety, in line with the Council Vatican II and Tradition, the vehemence of his complaint of aberrations and relaxation within the Church and the Order, It was certainly appreciated by many Catholics and non-Catholics, but also they brought him strong hostility, now deaf now open, inside and outside the Order.

.

Indeed, initiated the diocesan inquiry in 2006 in Bologna, in a serene and full of hopes, suffered malignant hostilities began to emerge in the shadows, so that the work of the Cause were unfortunately suddenly, unexpectedly and abruptly interrupted in 2012 for an unjust, unexplained and unaccounted for intervention from the outside of the diocesan tribunal, almost certainly under the pressure of hostile forces modernist imprint, Communist and Masonic, who were the main targets of the polemical good fight of the Servant of God.

.

In so Father Tomas, in whose teaching and whose life is contained in a high desire for freedom, as he had to experience life in the communist regime, so likewise after death, Providence has allowed his holy memory should endure actually a kind of martyrdom of a despotic intervention incompetent and repressive, who stopped the regular course of the investigation, without prior discussion in the appropriate forum, that would have been to court, the advisability or so serious need for a decision, a fact in a certain sense even more serious than the communist persecution, as coming from within the same of that Order, in which the Servant of God was estimated by many brothers; Order that he so loved and so exemplarily served and honored.

.

The earnest hope and passionate devotees of us, of Father Tomas Tyn scholars and admirers, present in the Dominican Order as the laity, and in the whole Church, both in Italy and in his homeland and abroad, educated in classes as in the popular ones, Catholics and non-Catholics, is that the competent superiors of the Order and the Diocese of Bologna, posts to be aware of the serious mistake committed by those responsible for this unfortunate gesture, take appropriate steps or initiatives to remedy this fault, ordering things to do share a Cause as valid the purpose of the new evangelization, the refutation of numerous errors, that corrupt the faith and morals, and peace, in the Church, between the opposing factions.

.

Perhaps the Superiors, rather than being intimidated for undignified search of a quiet life, by actual or possible hostile acts against the Servant of God, by the current ecclesial within and outside, against which he warns with such scrupulous care and wisdom, should watch the example of the Saints of the Order and of the same Servant of God, who do not let themselves be intimidated in front of the opponents' power, but fearlessly they challenged them, strong knights of faith, according to a motto of the Order: strongly, sources fortes.

.

In the Church today, likened the pope to a field hospital of the third world war, jam-packed with sick and wounded of all kinds, already shortage of medical personnel, subtract to the care of the sick a valid medical and zealous as Father Tomas Tyn, under the pretext that certain injuries do not accept, or even do not exist, or invented by the same Tomas, It appears an idea of ​​serious foolishness, such as to arouse strong suspicion that it will not be really concerned men of the good of the Church and of souls, but to stay afloat in the sea of ​​the world. The famous philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, eyepatch dell'arduità of philosophical speculation, He had the humility to ask the gardener in a convent. Perhaps this would be the best job for some.

.

Too bad that on the occasion of the VIII° centenary of the foundation of the Dominican Order, It has not been taken this opportunity to re-launch the Cause Tomas Tyn. The organizers would give evidence that this anniversary does not result only in historical commemorations, touching liturgies, artistic events, exciting movies and learned academic speeches, ma, key thing, can be a powerful stimulus for the Dominican Family and for the whole Church, at the pursuit of holiness, with the admiring gaze to the Saints of the Order, in the desire to imitate them and honor them, and in the consciousness that the Dominican ideal is still fertile in fertile fruits.
