NEWS FROM THE WORLD OF REAL: WHAT HAPPENS IN THE "CHURCH FIELD HOSPITAL" THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS ? THE REAL ones DUBIA ARE THOSE ABOUT MENTAL his lucidity, BUT NO ONE SAYS THAT …

.

Who ever, today, to a newly confirmed teenager, would dare to say that through the Sacrament of grace has become a soldier of Christ ? Who would dare to say, today, to a seminarian, in the words of the Blessed Apostle: "It bears too the suffering, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. for no one, when military service, s'intralcia the affairs of common life, if he wants to please the one who enlisted him " ? [CF. II Tm 2,4]. And this destruction of the concept of Church militant and peaceful Christological militarism, It has led to the total de-virilization and to that homosexualization the clergy that today we can see, thanks to the many priests who go up to the altar as show girls wearing vestments that reproduce the colors of peace flag, the same with which he screams peace and love parades of gay pride.

If the Word of God made man, offering the truth he has paid for a sin offering for all, you should pay anything myself to achieve it in glory, with all due respect to those who paralyzed the immediate everything and immediately, magnify beautiful garments, or if you prefer humble, King's, that the evidence shows, But, It is always more naked.

Confessor:

«In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit "

Penitent:

« Amen! »

Confessor:

" The Sir, with the faith that illuminates our hearts, give you a true knowledge of your sins, and of his mercy ".

Penitent:

« Amen! ».

Confessor:

«Dearest son, through this sacrament of grace you came to ask forgiveness from God, of such sins accuses before the Divine Majesty? ».

Penitent:

" Father, first of all I must tell you that I have confessed yesterday, but the confession was interrupted by me for an altercation with the confessor ".

Confessor:

"These are situations that can sometimes occur. Now, so peaceful, He speaks well without fear, because it is Christ who welcomes you and it is he who through the gift of this precious Sacramento that involves the entire Mystery of the Holy Trinity, It gives you the grace and the forgiveness of sins [cf. GV 20, 19-31] ».

Penitent:

"Then I start by repeating what I said yesterday before dropping the confession and venirmene away: in the Church we had 266 Popes, few of which have passed into history as saints popes. Others, which are the most, It seems not to have left traces, It is proved by the fact that even the Catholics of good cultural preparation, they hardly get to know a dozen popes, including in this number the last three or four of our contemporary history. Others have gone down in history as political popes, others like warriors popes, others like diplomats popes, others like peacemaking popes, others like theologians popes, others like mystics popes ... Saying this, I say right? ».

Confessor:

"You say right. We could add many other attributes, if you want even more severe, But we save them willingly. Anyhow, this historic true and obvious perception that you have of the Papacy, not a matter of shame for confession. And when there is no matter of sin, then we have to change "headquarters": not the Sacrament of Penance, but spiritual direction, or the interview with the priest ... ".

Penitent:

"... I come to what should be the subject of sin, then she will tell me: I believe that the current Pope will go down in history as the Pope buffoon, as the one who made the delight of all the worst enemies of the Church always, But he is hurting and often even ashamed of us devout Catholics … Dad, I'm a man of science and as such I rely on facts, so I ask: is it possible that this man is enhanced by ... ».

Confessor:

"... Perdonami if t'interrompo, I never do, especially during sacramental confessions. But t'interrompo to try to precede: perhaps you were about to tell me that this Pope has ... enhanced by all those in the church do not even come for the Holy Mass of Christmas and Easter, that never would come closer to a sectarian, that the first five words do not even know the Profession of Faith - "I believe in one God" ... -, who reject always with contempt the fundamentals of the Catholic faith, but nevertheless you are saying ... "what a great, Pope francesco. Ah, he does, that is really revolutionizing things!” … Is that what you mean to tell me if ? ».

Penitent:

" Father, she reads directly in thought? What else wants me to add. Or maybe he thinks me, like many other, few weeks ago we rejoiced, to see the pope in Sweden to celebrate the years of the sixteenth century Luther, next to a woman dressed as archbishop, that with this title was called by all the official organs of the Holy See? Believes that Catholics "the blood of Christ " and not "rosewater ”, I have rejoiced to see this woman in favor of abortion, euthanasia, genetic manipulation, culture of gender and so on, He dressed as a bishop with the Pope? You see, the problem is that I do not have formed the belief that he will go down in history as the Pope buffoon ; the problem is that this thinking I would not sin. Therefore, if they are in sin, while not feeling in this state, perhaps she will make me feel at fault, because I was taught that the worst sinners are those who do not consider sin as such. You know how it is, I would not do as the man who blasphemes God, but he is convinced to do well to blaspheme; How that that steals and defrauds, but he is convinced that he was right to steal and defraud; as the man who minds, but he is convinced that he was right to lie; as the man who cheats on his wife going with prostitutes, but he is confident of doing good to go with prostitutes ... ".

Confessor:

«Dearest son, it is rare that I ask questions to penitents, because the confessor is not a prosecutor, but above all must never invade consciences addressing questions about what the penitent has not said, or even worse, entering into the merits of the sins of which he is not accused. Because it is the penitent, After careful examination of conscience, to accuse one's sins to God Almighty and Merciful, slow to anger, abounding in love [cf. Shall 103: 8-14], the confessor has to answer on the merits of what the penitent accuses, giving it comfort, providing the right medicine for the soul, and by imposing a reasonable penance for the just expiation of sins. The questions I address the ever and only the merits of what the penitent says, and only if I had not got it right, or if the penitent had not expressed good, because it is to give comfort and to give medicine, first of all I need to understand. And since in this case I understand very well, I beg to ask you: you believe for certain faith that Christ chose Simon called Peter as the rock on which we build our Church? [cf. Mt 13, 16-20] ».

Penitent:

«I believe it, by sure faith ".

Confessor:

"You think to some faith that those who succeeded him to this high office in the twenty centuries of church history of Christ earthly pilgrimage, including subjects unworthy and maybe even some buffoons, They were in any case for legitimate mystery of grace Successors of the Prince of the Apostles chosen by Christ the Lord himself? ».

Penitent:

«I believe it, by sure faith ".

Confessor:

"You believe, for certain faith, Christ the Lord has entrusted to Peter and his successors a vicarious function and that those who succeeded him on the throne of the Blessed Apostle were all legitimate vicars of Christ on earth, from Lino Volterra Blessed Pontiff who succeeded Blessed Apostle Peter the Galileo, until the reigning Pope Francis I ?».

Penitent:

"I believe, for certain faith, from San Lino succeeded San Pietro up to the present Pope, everyone, unworthy included, have pursued the legitimate vicars of Christ on earth to function ".

Confessor:

" You believe, for certain faith, than the Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, beyond its possible human failings, intellectual and moral, It is always the guardian of the deposit of the Catholic faith and the communion of the Church, for which necessary exercising his infallible Magisterium ? [cf. cost. dogm. The light, 18] ».

Penitent:

«I believe it, by sure faith ".

Confessor:

" You believe, for certain faith, that the Pope Francis I, if he speaks or decrees in matters of doctrine and faith, foolproof, since it enjoys a special assistance of the Holy Spirit, sent to his nascent Church of the Risen Christ at Pentecost? [CF. GV 20, 19-23] ».

Penitent:

«I believe it, by sure faith ".

Confessor:

"Are you aware that the reigning Pontiff and the Bishops in communion with him and to all their successors, is due filial respect and obedience from priests, Deacons, Religious, Religious and of the entire Body of believers of Christ ? ».

Penitent:

"I'm aware of has always, because I am a Catholic and because from a teenager I was brought to this sacred respect, that at my ripe old age has never failed to date ».

Confessor:

«Dearest son, you spoke to Pope buffoon by asking a question and asking in this regard a clear answer, that is, if you have sinned on bad thoughts, as conscious, a good Christian, that we can sin in thoughts, words, works and omissions. Since I am called to be a physician of souls and merciful judge, to give you an answer I should know about a 'last thing, namely the following: each to, the so-called fool, Roman Pontiff is the successor of the Apostle Saint Peter and the Vicar of Christ on earth, supreme and infallible guardian of the deposit of faith and Catholic doctrine, or the frail man, imperfect and defeasible Jorge Mario Bergoglio? That said I'll explain the meaning of my question: as a man, I can be a hundred times more penitent sinner that occur in this diffident, but when acting in Person Christi I raise my hand and say invoking the Holy Trinity ... I absolve you of your sins at home, In the Name of the Father, and sons, and of the Holy Spirit, to forgive your sins is not the sinner that I am, but God the Father through the sacramental grace of which have been covered unworthily, and through which I can open, come instrumentum Gods, the doors of salvation to us through this sacrament of grace. Then, It may also be that I end up in the nearest Hell Purgatory to atone for my sins until the return of Christ at the end of time. And this also because we priests of Christ, that much we had in gifts of grace, so much will be required [cf. LC 12, 39-48]. And this is in proportion to how large has been entrusted by Christ God, because the sacred mysteries entrusted to our hands are so much great to get away from all the units of measure known in this world ".

Penitent:

" Father, in the years when she was not perhaps not even born, I defended Pope Paul VI and the Papacy against aggressive attacks and mocking of secularists, communists, of the Italian protesters, by deadly and destructive policies carried out against human life and the natural family from that Marco Pannella and Emma Bonino from that accepted today as a "holy woman" in the Vatican, and defined by the Pope himself as a "great Italian" [cf. WHO]. Of course, This Lady is the "great Italian" who fought for abortion, for euthanasia, for genetic testing, for the gender … I understand that neither of his mistakes and crimes against life has never regretted, rather it should be 'more than ever proud ... and I can also tell you that the university I took several punches, during various scuffles, that I was then a young assistant professorship during the tumultuous years of what many still call the "mythic" and "glorious" Sixty-eight.

So Father, I can not stand that man. He can not stand his constant improvised, his say and not to say, his Jesuitisms low alloy unsupported by historical intelligence that marked generations of great Jesuits. I can not stand his obsessive hammering on poverty, poor, refugees. Believe me, I sound just like my late father, who in his later years he suffered from a form of dementia that at the end of life reduced him to not even recognize his own children. Before the degenerating illness up to that point, He spent his days repeating the same two things. Any talk we tried to deal, he always came back to those two things. If we children were trying to bring him to talk, to think and to talk about other topics, just started the speech he always returned to those two unique things.

My father was a man of science, a brilliant mind. For us children, see it reduced to that way, It was a great suffering. Neurologists and geriatricians though we explained that senile dementia is also characterized by obsessive and compulsive states that lead the subject to fixate on certain things and always beating on those. E mio father, with illness, caused suffering to their children who have always loved and respected, the wonder: what suffering can cause the Father of the universal Church at much higher numbers of children?

But this experience also remember another thing: before my father in that state, those who rejoiced and rejoiced were those who had always hated him, for example those opponents who all his life had tried to hit him, sometimes even destroy it in professional and scientific level. Seeing finally reduced that way, they were pleased that finally was destroying "alone", passing their days always saying the same two things obsessively. Initially, us children, We could get us over even a few laughs, But when we perceived the tragedy, no one was ever more desire to do even half smile.

Today, when the Pope appears on television, I change the channel. No longer tolerate his obsessive Surrealism, especially when he is talking about refugees ... refugees ... refugees …

The Pope should nourish the faithful with a reflection on the Gospel on the Mystery of the Incarnation? Soon said: There slips into refugees [Ed. cf. WHO]. It should nourish the faithful with a reflection on the Gospel of the Passion? Soon said: There slips into refugees [Ed. cf. WHO]. It should nourish the faithful with a meditation on the Gospel of the Resurrection ? Soon said, There ... "

Confessor:

"... There if anything slips women who come in their capacity as refugees to the empty tomb of the Risen Christ, because the tomb symbolizes the island of Lampedusa and women who rush symbolize, through exegetical acrobatics, those who descend from the boats ... ".

Penitent :

« … Yet we know well that most of these people are not refugees, but mostly young in perfect physical health and almost all Muslims rigor. And if on one hand we have today situations of Italian families homeless and our compatriots who sleep in cars, the so-called refugees rather sleep in hotels, where often they throw food and where not infrequently attacked members of the police. That said please tell me: how do you think this situation will end ? ».

Confessor :

"I wrote and speculated recently, This situation is likely to end up whistling on a Piazza San Pietro increasingly empty [cf. previous article, WHO], with the unemployed and the Italian homeless that are screaming: "Take them you at the Vatican!”. And before Italians who do not have work and home, but at the same time they are forced to see too many false refugees welcomed in hotels, all young rigor and Muslims launched to conquer Europe now dechristianized, I want to see how he will appease, perhaps telling: "Do not be afraid of tenderness"? [cf. WHO]. Because before the angry square, even our Lord Jesus Christ, he managed to get the better, N'E proof that the square chose Barabbas [cf. Mt 27, 16-17]. Or do we want for the event “to suspect” that the Redeemer had not enough tenderness, as both true God and as a true man ? Mind you, may also be that of the Redeemer was lacking tenderness, at the bottom was born in Bethlehem, mica to Buenos Aires.

Days ago, the top executive of a famous chain of hypermarkets scattered in the real world of our country, told me they had reserved date available to their area managers to instruct staff not to intervene in the event that they found the “refugees” to commit theft of luxury goods and certainly not basic necessities. In other words: now it prefers to bear the losses, rather than run the risk of being left with some of those angels who in response have repeatedly attacked security officers and cashiers, work by sending several to the hospital, because in case of similar accidents at work, the damage to society is much more serious than theft [cf. WHO, WHO, etc. ..]. And while such cases are multiplying, creating no small problems into account, while in Germany it is now for real time alarm [cf. WHO], no one can even dare to ask the question: “But from these barges, what kind of soft wares lands, according to the Papal dream combination refugee equal good, that is you welcome all ?”. Exact same criterion is adopted by a number of transport companies: bus, trains, metroplitane. For some time several companies have instructed the inspectors to do questions and pull forward if they find these angels without ticket, why is it that multiple controllers were attacked and massacred at the sound of beatings, some ended up in hospital, others have reported even permanent damage. And having said that I do not know if the Pope went to visit them in the hospital to explain to them that we must accommodate all, Why “refugee” equal good » [cf. WHO, WHO, etc. ..]. According to bergogliana theology, the fugitive is in fact "the flesh of Christ" [cf. WHO]. And the father of the family sent to the hospital by a "brother refugee" - strictly young, in perfect physical health, and needless to say the Muslim -, He assaulted while carrying out that work by which brings home bread, It is the flesh of those who? Or more simply, Is it "the third cut meat", besides being guilty of being European, Italian and even a Catholic?

Penitent :

… and what about, when it happens to meet university teachers today's retirees like me, that the academic chairs sent in the whole course of their career the anti-Catholicism and the historically anti-popery, philosophical, literary and sociological, which I know myself a Catholic exalt the "great Pope Francis" calling it "revolutionary" and "Pope of rupture". At that point I feel more dislike for this man, which impute the blame, through its lack of clarity, the misunderstanding and ambiguity, to have aroused the sympathies of the worst enemies of the Church, now come in fact to say: "Church no, Pope Francis yes !”. Then, after getting angry, I try to be charitable, thinking back to my poor, dear father suffering from dementia, or to his eternal enemies that seeing him reduced in that state said about him;: "What is lovable", "funny", "humorous" …".

Confessor:

«Or bene, dearest son, first of all we have clarified who is the object of your feeling and suffering: man Jorge Mario Bergoglio. So we have determined that your temper is not related to his lofty Magisterium, much less to his Petrine office. You are irritated by words spoken to arm journalists, for sentences that do not shine for clarity, for his personal public attitudes that may or may not like; attitudes that can also be unhappy, demagogic and especially imprudent. That's what irritates you? ».

Penitent:

" And, This and nothing else. And now, wants to know why, yesterday, I was irritated with the confessor and I came away from the confessional? So will the full picture and can answer and give a fair and proper medicine ".

Confessor:

"Tell me".

Penitent:

"The state that I have greatly appreciated the various documents of the Magisterium of St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Even more so yesterday I was irritated because in the past, the priest with whom I confessed, I heard him say publicly that John Paul II was preventing the growth and evolution of the Church, that was a conservative across the board with a restrictive view of Catholic morality. And below, by Benedict XVI, I heard him say every worst thing. Throughout the previous pontificate this priest never missed an opportunity to say: "If after John Paul II had chosen the great Carlo Maria Martini, we would not be in this condition! He does, that was a true giant. And before dying clear he sang to Pope Benedict XVI said that the Church was back two hundred years " [cf. WHO].

And I, to my early age, I find myself in a confessional with a priest who launched gunfire toward previous popes, which now attacking me for expressing that this Pope leaves me perplexed and does not inspire my sympathy? Now, since she, Dad, It is also an orthodox theologian and an expert on the history of the Church, mi tip: How come, other popes, one could challenge everything and the opposite of everything to your liking, while in regard to this you can not issue a half sigh? Are we in the middle of church-Stalinist era? Because now we are at this point: some of his brothers, that as I have just said have been practicing for so many years the sport to challenge the two previous popes, in the face of this eccentric saying "good morning", "good evening", "good lunch", "Good dinner", rather than saying "Praised be Jesus Christ", They claim to have us believe that with these words he enunciated a new dogma of faith, so that as such is infallible, while for me it is simply buffoonish, like that other FIGS that goes' from time to time to interview, the devout atheist anticlerical Eugenio Scalfari, which reminds me in every way the old enemies of my father, seeing that consumed day after day from senile dementia said about him: "How amiable", "funny", "humorous".

Dad, In my time to do career in academia I have made great efforts, many I have done in the world of my profession; and this happened because I was not nor affiliated to Masonic lodges, nor was I in the lists of protected of the then Italian Communist Party, which he had monopolized entire universities. So try to put themselves in my shoes: I can accept that nowadays affiliates to Masonic lodges and the post-communist move reproaches and objections to Catholics who criticize certain ways of doing things man's Jorge Mario Bergoglio? Because if even the Masons and the post-communists have become defenders of this man, first of all we must ask "why?”, then you must acknowledge that something is not working and that something is not working, It is also quite serious.

At this point, I must ask myself, and I must ask you: I'm wrong, wrong or certain priests who suddenly have rediscovered even that papal infallibility that until recently considered an invention of the "poor man" of Pius IX ? Because he sees, Dad, the same priest who yesterday treated as I have just told me, when years ago it was beatified Pius IX, said these exact words: ” If John Paul II does not hurry to salirsene to heaven, risk seeing beatified even Joanna the Mad and Tomas de Torquemada ” ».

Confessor:

«Dearest son, sacramental confession is for the remission of sins. Therefore I have to ask: from what sin, according to the ministry of the Church, I should absolve? If you have sins to confess and if they have repented, in such a case you will be discharged. Then of sins to confess? ».

Penitent:

" Father, she understood that very serious I said from the beginning? ».

Confessor:

"I understood very well, but mostly I heard one after the other answers you gave to my questions. Or maybe you have just professed your faith certain and safe on the rock upon which Christ built his Church? ».

Penitent:

"So I do not consider myself in a state of sin? ».

Confessor:

"Dearest, Now I answer you as a priest subjected to obedience to the Bishop and obedience to his teaching, because it is by virtue of my communion with the Bishop, that I exercise of his mandate the sacred priestly ministry. You must know that the bishop in full communion with the Bishop of Rome, during a solemn sacramental act, This is the consecration of a priest, I promise filial respect and obedience, to him and to all his successors. No one has ever asked me to promise to "estimate" Bishop and least of "sympathy". Filial respect and obedience to the bishop is due to my solemn promise, but the esteem and the sympathy is not due; and if he wants, then if must deserve and earn. This applies to me presbyter, as for you Fedele.

the Bishop, including the Bishop of Rome and the Roman Pontiff placed by Christ at the head of the Apostolic College, we have filial respect and obedience, everything else is not due; and if he wants it, then if you must deserve and earn, always assuming that deserve. Also because, the devout estimate believers of Christ, he might even prefer the praise of anti-Catholic society and all of its most senior members, Lutheran heretics by the Pentecostal heretics, up to the Masons and the post-communists who have suddenly discovered Papists after casting for two centuries scum on the Catholic Church, but especially after having created and spread the worst black legends about the papacy, passed today for authentic history.

now tell me: when at the time the lever was mandatory, you've got to, to do military service? ».

Penitent:

" And. And I must say that in that period always cherish good memories ".

Confessor:

"Me too I did it and I keep good memories. I allow me then to narrate this episode of life lived. When I had 46 years, and more recently was a priest, in a Roman basilica with whom I served they were held funeral obsequies "state" of four of our young dead Italian soldiers in Afghanistan. At a distance, one of the generals sitting in the front row, I watched while my black cassock I moved on the presbytery to fix a few things before the ceremony. At that point I looked at him in full dress suit for a while, until I recognized. Then I went down from the chancel steps and walked over to him, telling him instinctively: "Captain!”. And I said correggendomi: "I meant General, I have not forgotten the military ranks ". I added: "Despite the sad reason for the meeting, It is a pleasure to see you again after so many years ".

The now top official, derogating from the Protocol, he hugged me and introduced me to the other generals. It was the captain of what was once my company. Since then it had passed almost twenty five years, and when he was about to retire, after reaching the highest degree of military career.

He was touched and moved me I, because together we spent a nice time, in an atmosphere of friendship and mutual respect. He was indeed a man who enjoyed of my highest consideration and my entire human sympathy. Several other officers, from Colonel commander of that great barracks, They not rather enjoyed my esteem, rather, all 'other! But I recognized their undoubted military and hierarchical authority, then gave me an order I I performed in a disciplined and scrupulous.

The sad our ecclesial reality is given by the fact that from the late sixties early seventies of the twentieth century, the Church has lost this military setting. Or does it perhaps happen, nowadays, to hear priests who speak of the "Church Militant"? Certain words and terms were rejected, and today we no longer speak of "church militant, suffering and triumphant ", quite the opposite! Happen instead of hearing beauty salon trendy with serious shortcomings in the Catechism of the Catholic Church - and if anything just for this doctorate from the Pontifical Gregorian University -, answer with mock annoyance: "These were terms Tridentine, the phraseology Pre-conciliar Church, Today incompatible with the Church of Mercy and of tenderness Pope Francis ... "».

For decades we have lost that setting that military personnel have taken their time to the Church and ecclesiastical structure. For centuries we have been the peaceful army of Christ. Yet who ever, today, to a newly confirmed teenager, would dare to say that through the Sacrament of grace has become a soldier of Christ? Who would dare to say, today, to a seminarian, in the words of the Blessed Apostle: "It bears too the suffering, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. for no one, when military service, s'intralcia the affairs of common life, if he wants to please the one who enlisted him " ? [CF. II Tm 2,4]. From these words it is clear that the Blessed Apostle Paul was a crypto-warmonger, definitely lacking in mercy and tenderness; ma blessing Dio, in the end, some of his "mistakes" were corrected by “new church” pacifist, ecologist e merciful which talks to everyone and who takes care of all, Unless Catholics.

This destruction of the concept of Church militant and of Christological militarism, It has led to the total de-virilization and to that homosexualization the clergy that today we can see, thanks to the many priests who as the show girls go up to the altar wearing vestments that reproduce the colors of peace flag, the same with which he screams peace and love parades of gay pride.

These are the reasons and the causes for which it seems that today we became a cross between a circus, a vaudeville theater and a clerical branch of the Gay village. All this has brought us thus to fall in the worst emotional spirit: "Neither our market, you obey ". But is not so! Why is obedience in faith is an obedience to ecclesiastical authority totally irrespective "But if I like you", or worse "if you meet my emotional and subjective feeling", or "if I create internal excitement".

All these are logical and tragic consequences of the destruction of the Pauline concept of militia Christi, replaced with colors frogs from the peace flag placed on the altar instead of the central crucifix, long time taken to do shade and it would take away the view to priests-stars, many of whom move on the presbytery as starlets and when they open their mouths they take out shrill voices of castrated capons.

Said this: if you have no sins to confess and for which it is given absolution, then I impart to you my blessing ... ".

.

Soon after, out of the confessional …

.

Father Ariel :

"Dear Professor, if it has no commitments, I would propose to do the walk with me towards the bar in the square for a delectable cappuccino ".

Faithful :

"If anything, even take a delectable croissant with cream ? ».

Father Ariel :

" I can not. on, I prepare for winter parades ready to wear, I would not get fat ... ".

Faithful:

"You always have the beat of ready spirit".

Father Ariel :

" Teacher, you tell me how could we survive in these times, if not with the faith, and if necessary with a good dose of irony, united necessary to the courage of lions, in this poor Church of rabbits ".

Faithful :

"You know I always pray for her ? ».

Father Ariel :

"When I began training for the priesthood asked the Bishop to be able to call Ariel, what does it mean “Lion of God “, with all due respect to the good name imposed on me by my parents to the baptism, who called me with the name of the Christian martyr Stephen. Pray, therefore, to this poor lion always the Eagle Flight of Blessed John the Apostle: “Higher than the rest of the revealed secret” [in the highest of the other way, John has left to the Church the mysteries revealed by God].

Faithful :

"And if one day, the lion, end to die a martyr ? ».

Father Ariel :

"Martyrdom is a gift of grace to which no one can aspire and that no one can ask, because God alone can grant. Anyhow, I am assured that in martirizzarmi will be neither rabbits or chickens, but mostly castrated capons. And if one day - I say for pure and imaginative example -, Islamist fundamentalists they cut off the throat, know that they will definitely hatefully, yet deferentially, judging me on the one hand their enemy, but on the other recognizing in me the virile courage and consistency of man who believed all his life for what he professed and done. On the contrary, instead, Capponi have castrated, before they will eat rainbow flag the gay pride, then, one by one, tear the feathers from his ass between a laugh and the other. With me it will not laugh, kill me as an enemy, but with respect. And if you think about it, It is no small thing ...

Conclusion

.

This is what always happens more within the Church that the Holy Father Francis I likes to call, and indicate how: "Field hospital". And in this Church field hospital, as evidence the interview that I quoted here, into the emergency room there is us, there are no ideologues dream of what the newspapers call “the new Church of Francis”, forgetting that the Church is not Francis, but of Christ. And the members of the Mystical Body of Christ, always suffer the most, while ultra-secularists and Masons rejoice shouting “revolution”, “epochal break with the past”, “new church” …

In a test situation and discouragement like this our, surely it is easier to raise the dubia on a theme relevant issues related to the doctrine, as they have recently made four Cardinals in an entirely legitimate [cf. WHO], but above all according to the most ancient apostolic tradition [cf. Gal 2, 1-11]. Much more difficult, instead, It would ask with some urgency of accurate clinical and specialist visits to the excellent neurologists and geriatricians, because it is obvious that something is not working, even if everyone is silent, in part for fear, partly not to see compromised his ecclesiastical career. Others for fear of being rather crush their high expectations of ecclesiastical career, that today they march on the pimp satisfaction based on poor, refugees and poverty, in addition to the "mercy" bestowed with a stick to anyone who does not think like the train head, which is launching the locomotive with all the following cars and its passengers toward the disused bridge and unsafe Cassandra Crossing ...

The 26 November closed the Holy Door the papal Archbasilica St. Peter, at the end of a Jubilee year in which there was the wonderful idea not to carry large mass events, but by directing the attention of the faithful to the local Churches. Unfortunately, this Holy, He has left a confused doubt about the mercy of sacramental grace in confession with that of works of mercy - Especially those body - we can glean from the passage of the Gospel according to St. Matthew:

.

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory with all the angels, he will sit on his glorious throne. And they will be gathered before him all nations, and he will separate from each other, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on the left. Then the king will say to those on his right hand: “Come on, blessed of my Father, Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Because I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink:; I was a stranger and you hosted me, naked and dressed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to me ". Then the righteous will answer: "Man, when did we see you hungry and we fed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When we saw you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit thee?”. Responding, the King will: "Truly I tell you: whenever you did this to the least of these my brethren, you did it to me ". Then he will say to those on his left: ”Via, away from me, cursed, the eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. Because I was hungry and you didn't give me food; I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink; I was a stranger and you didn't welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you visited me ". Then it will: "Man, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not help you?”. Then he will answer: "Truly I tell you: whenever you did this to one of my younger brothers, no you did it to me ". And they will go, to eternal punishment, and the righteous to eternal life ' " [Mt 25, 31-46]

.

The first action of Mercy It consists of the conversion specified in the sacrament of confession as a reminder of God's grace which tears man to sin starting from the awareness of evil done and the good and not refused work, accepting forgiveness and righteousness of God given to all of us in the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ who died for our sins [cf. Cat. CC 1987-2005]. And all this does not happen for a certain kind of philanthropy. Instead, the works of mercy, is a general summary or guide for Christians to help others who are in trouble. Small but essential difference that fail to grasp and distinguish many people today, but above all that seems to have been a deliberate choice and sought to equally attract a greater number of people ... This clearly appears from certain writings, audio and images that can be found around the net, or listen to the television as from certain pulpits. A concrete example of this confusion is the article by Carlo Di Cicco:

.

"The Pope has tried to show the humanity of the Christian faith and in no jubilee of history there was a lot of exploitation of the poor and marginalized" [cf. WHO].

.

In this sentence it seems it is confusing the term of Jubilee year with the concept of marketing campaign, to confirm this later is specified by the same author:

.

"And yet even the figures are not so bad for yelling at flop. If you relate the partial data so far available can be seen that 20 million and 400 thousand pilgrims who have crossed the threshold of St Peter in this Jubilee not to disfigure the face of 8 millions 515.088 calculated by the Prefecture of the Pontifical Household as participants in the 2000 to general audiences, the ceremonies and the Angelus. The cry of merchants pain stems from not considering the conditions of this jubilee unexpected and came in to the economic crisis is not over yet ".

.

Of course, the title of this article it sums up everything from the beginning: "Jubilee flop ? No, Francis had not asked triumphal celebrations ». And then there was the "economic crisis", almost as if the Jubilee 2000 It had not opened after the collapse of the late nineties bags, since the crisis began in 1998. Then we fly over the affectation with which we refer to simply as the Successor of Peter Francis, thus leaving aside the fact that two adjectives like highest e pontiff They could make the very long title, and so do not show up well in terms of graphics; what frightens is that behind the closure of the jubilee year remains the impression of a mercy made by man and deprived of sacramental grace of God's Mercy.

.

To switch to a different appearance speech: a couple of weeks ago is over the transmission of the television series The Young Pope, view from the editorial staff of 'Patmos Island under the invitation of many readers who wrote in to advise us to see her, because they found it in the young Lenny Belardo, which then it becomes an imaginative Pope Pius XIII, a curious and sometimes amazing similarity in the style of our dear Father Ariel ... we fly over on these comparisons and move on to another: I very much appreciated and shared in their entirety the ratings made by Vatican expert Andrea Tornielli in his commentary devoted to this TV show and his imaginative character of Pius XIII [cf. WHO]. I find very pertinent and apt "the idea of ​​a media decongestion of the papacy, be less of a protagonist with his person, it's good, indeed very good ". But on the other hand, Tornielli, apart from being a journalist, It is also scholar and historian, author of several books devoted to the Popes of the twentieth century, and the contemporary papacy knows him well [cf. WHO, WHO, WHO].

.

To make an objective and thorough critique to this curious, particular and sometimes dramatic series, it would be appropriate to do a writing longer and more thorough; suffice to say only in general terms how this series demonstrates the paradox that today ecclesiastical anarchy which wants to make everyone happy, But leaving aside God and the Gospel. In the television series directed by Paolo Sorrentino, stands a Roman Pontiff that in applying the principle of monarchical authority based on Petrine mystery it remains alone, misunderstood and constantly in danger of being trapped and betrayed, mocked and challenged; everything just because "guilty" to defend and proclaim what has always taught the Church. A fictional Supreme Pontiff in conflict with a caste of journalists, conflicts with a popular mass that does not listen, does not accept, He does not want to hear anything other than what is their pleasure and comfortable. It is the interpretation of madness and ignorance, truth and holiness of those who view the Catholic Church as an unbeliever or those who live with a sense of faith.

.

I was really impressed the first speech addressed with his face to the public made by the Supreme Pontiff in this imaginary square crowded with people of St Mark's Basilica in Venice the last chapter of this series:

.

"God is not allowed, does not show. God does not shout; God whispers, God does not write, God does not hear, God does not rumor, God does not comfort us. And then the children asked who God? And Juana said: God smiles, only then everyone realized ... "

.

A speech on which you can say and speculate to no end, leaving a freedom of opinion to the reader as to those who have seen the series; especially if it start from the fact that it looks like a totally opposite exposure to the one made to God by the same Belardo between the severity and solemnity of the first episodes. Perhaps many people will say that this last speech of the series is a lot closer to that vision of the Holy Father Francis, and particularly in this last year ... and this is where the real problem begins. During the first few episodes of the series, a cardinal had opined to young Pontiff :

.

"Put an adoring crowd and devoted the puzzle on the existence of God, It means putting an outdated question; the new question today is not whether God exists, but rather because we depend on God ".

.

Declare as "passed" the question on the existence of God is a fallacy apodictic; combine the term "crowd" in the actions as adoration e devotion, It could create a misunderstanding about the devotion and all 'worship as actions that do not arise from the free acceptance of faith and the grace of God, but by many other typical elements of social pathologies, or variously linked to the areas of sectarianism, of witchcraft and tribalism. It is instead very opportune the second part of the reasoning, ie the question of the relation report in this case defined almost in opposition between human freedom and God. It is true that the value of human freedom today more than ever a personal and collective foundation of Western civilization; as it is also true that there are talks about the relationship of God with man which are not included because they are considered too complex, to the point of being banned or canceled, just as they are finished erased the elements of justice, of God's providence, of sin itself, of guilt and penance, atoning, etc … not to mention the original sin, suffice in this regard to see the latest articles published on 'Patmos Island by Father Ariel S. Levi Gualdo about the case of Father John Cavalcoli, on which a few weeks ago it has sparked pandemonium after he dared to speak of "God's punishment" to a radio program, appointing incidentally now the word taboo of sin of sodomy, angering such punto le lobby gay so as to be sued legally ridiculous by one of them for expressing them to say a "homophobe" thought and "racist" [see our articles on the case WHO, WHO]. In practice, though,, Dominican theologian, without undermining the dignity and integrity of anyone, he only remembered the basics of morality and Catholic doctrine that aggressive genderisti they look really determined to make outlaw, just like back then to argue the Father Ariel S. Levi Gualdo on our telematics columns talking about Porn-theologians, using a term coined by the famous philosopher and theologian Cornelio Fabro [cf. item WHO].

.

As usual, the answer to these questions was almost never historically balanced. Of course this is a proven evidence of their characteristics of being finished, such is the man, ie focus all of himself in relation to life, the world and God, through limited biased and stereotyped portrayal of the passions and feelings that eventually push to talk, thinking, to act, to present and defend, often even euphoric-aggressive form, but above prevaricating over others, their subjective perception of the true and its interpretation.

.

It seems that never manages to be balanced, because in a constant imbalance it is passed by the exaltation of terror and fear to euphoria of '' love '; immediacy of a rigorous justice to a total laxity and indifference towards injustice, by a maniacal sense of wanting to clarify, define or classify all, the outpouring of poetry, hermeneutics, of eclectic performances exactly the same as anything ...

.

We are now in the second phase the imbalance and the false freedom frenzy wanted to whatever it takes, ie we anarchy. And this is perceived by the individual to large institutions as are civil society, the state, the same Church. In the first two cases, one could speak of a historical dialectic of Hegel or the courses and appeals of Vico; historical and social changes that led to the end of one era and the beginning of another.

.

In the third case, you could say it is a simple historical process within the ecclesial society, but the difference with other social reality is that for the first time we are dealing with the principle of "centrifugal force". After two thousand years the Church has come out from its center "cristonomico", from his teaching, from his canonical and liturgical tradition, from his relationship with the people of God. This centrifugal force is in no way stopped, anything is proclaimed implicitly or explicitly that "man does not depend now from God". In this way comes to life a man who can find in God only a palliative response to certain of his happiness needs, social equality, solidarity, spirit of brotherhood, psychological well-being, care of the environment, etc …

.

It's over a year Jubilee in which he proclaimed the injustice towards those who do not want to accommodate real or alleged refugees indiscriminately and without numerical control, towards the injustice of those who do not get paid enough or does not have the same financial resources of other men. All problems and issues dealt with by the modern social doctrine of the Church since the first social encyclical of Pope Leo XIII, which are however not present sociologisms Marxists and of South American populism matrix. A jubilee which was celebrated Martin Luther as a "great reformer", and author of a pseudo reform that has just split the Church; and celebrating this heresiarch they hid all the real problems, following the criteria of a false path stretched a utopia reunification. It has given voice and space to the representatives and to stars the civilized world, politico, journalism ... even in the world of gossip It is given space and listening, ignoring and silencing so almost always violent rumors true and honest servants of the Church and of God's people, or of Christians persecuted and killed by Islamists. It has proclaimed the existence of a large door that welcomes everyone and a way that is no longer away but a field that brings together everyone without distinctions and divisions; all the same, like sheep feel the same sensations, that move and who eat the same way. No longer the narrow gate announced by Christ to which we come through hard and tortuous path [cf. LC 13, 24], but above all under the guidance and supervision of a Shepherd; because even the Pastor has now become one of the sheep, in its limitatezze and weaknesses. It all to participate in the sacraments has been invited, without exclusion, just as if the sacraments were a right acquired by the faithful, thus depriving them their real value of consistency, consciousness and awareness, of responsibility and reason, for the unfortunate and wrong sacramental pastoral work of many sacred ministers.

.

Just that, ultimately, It is the heart of the problem: the sacred ministers in which shows the lack of intelligence and the supremacy of the centrifugal force that reigns in the Church. For now we can choose the Eucharistic celebration model that is most suitable to our whims, with its own rituals emotional or even superstitious. But it will be in the Sacrament of Penance, as it demonstrated by the Jubilee Year of empty confessionals, where man now devoid of the sense of good and evil, so the sense of sin, justice and true mercy, It has been shown to have now found better answers to its immanent needs in other environments, except that in that Onlus volunteer and social events once called the Catholic Church. Man will no longer wonder and not so much whether God exists, and what is the use if there; will wonder what good the Church and its sacred ministers, with its sacraments emptied the mystery of grace and filled with "rights" worldly. And the only answer that the man will be apathy, the indifference. While on the other hand social workers of Onlus They remain convinced that the man needed to hear himself talk as he pleases, that is, of himself and for himself, instead of God and of his sacramental grace.

.

Perhaps this is the answer to the dramatic question: "When the Son of Man returns, will he find faith on the earth?» [cf. LC 18, 1-8] Christ does not ask at all, if the Son of Man will regain visible Church, he just asked if he find faith..

A REFLECTION ON MODERNISM, IN OUR TIMES OF COWS MAGRE

.

modernism, today more than ever it is combined with the most confusing syncretism, who, strombazzato give skillful impostors, who know how to make it venerable to the crowds the unwary, go to put together and to pick up in philosophy and theology, in complete disregard of the principle of non-contradiction, perhaps with the excuse of dialectic, the most outlandish and absurd theories, that even a seminarian of the first half of the last century, format on St. Thomas and on Gredt, He could easily have refuted.

.

.

The polemic against modernism and its repository of heresies today is found almost exclusively in traditionalist circles, who denounce acutely the return of this phenomenon, for example in rahnerismo; but then they fall our arms when some of these traditionalists accuse modernism Vatican II and all the following Popes.

.

It's obvious then we need to urgently clarify what is meant by this word. It has a very clear historical reference: the famous encyclical Feeding of Dominic's Sheep of the Holy Pontiff Pius X. There it gives a very clear definition and articulate about what the Pope meant by “modernism”. It is a small treatise on the subject, in which, however, they show almost exclusively errors, without acknowledging any positive instance, as often it happened in the Magisterium of the Church of the past. The church, indeed, exceptions, appeared more than Mother and teacher, a conscientious traffic warden always ready to report fines.

.

However it is worth noting that, as in many phenomena of the history of spirit, per “modernism” You can mean one of two things: first, modernism in the historical sense, now enclosed in the times of St. Pius X, and here the story does not repeat; This modernism is well described by the Pope, to which I refer to the encyclical and not even need to summarize here the nature [cf. text WHO].

.

Second, some perennial trend and therefore present the spirit still, which originates or cue from the description made by the encyclical, but basically it is independent, and transcends those historical contingencies; for which in some way already it existed before, a modernism in a wider sense, as idolatry of modernity or of this time, as a false way of being modern, as the effect is not a critique of modernity in the light of the Gospel, but as critical examination - a certain “historical-critical method” in exegesis - of the Gospel in the light of a real or supposed modernity.

.

The modernist is a historicist phenomenalist, an evolutionary relativism which does not interest objective truth, universal, absolute and eternal, which he does not believe, and who judges with contempt “abstract”, illusionary, harmful or at least useless. For him, the truth is the daughter of time and relative to the time. Does not exist the truth, but various truths concrete and changing according to the various cultures, of view and their different time points.

.

Modernism, today more than ever it marries with the most confusing syncretism that, strombazzato give skillful impostors, who know how to make it venerable to the crowds the unwary, go to put together and to pick up in philosophy and theology, in complete disregard of the principle of non-contradiction, perhaps with the excuse of dialectic, the most outlandish and absurd theories [1], that even a seminarian of the first half of the last century, format on St. Thomas and on Gredt, He could easily have refuted.

.

Like this, If modernism of St. Pius X times stood by influences especially European, empiricist, positivists, vitalists, immanent, Kantian and Protestant, that of today enriches western influences from Hegel to Marx to Freud to Husserl to Heidegger, ranging across the whole world thought, ancient and modern, including errors of other religions, sectarian conceptions, bizarre and superstitious as the belief in extraterrestrials, l'astrologia, l'ufology, the divinazione and lo spiritualism, to say nothing of Satanism, and even ancient pagan worldviews as Gnosticism, hermeticism, the magic, l'esotericism, the pre-Socratics, Hinduism, Taoism and Buddhism. There is still little sympathy for Muhammad, but soon we can expect a synthesis of the Gospel with the Koran.

.

The most important operation and misleading the modernists to fifty years, as you know and as I showed for many years in my publications, operation conducted with extreme skills, with the use of dishonest theologians and scholars but also an abundance of economic means, not without the connivance of certain circles of the church hierarchy, It is to present the public with the innocuous title “Progressives”, as interpreters and authentic advocates, safe and advanced, the new doctrines of the Council, also against the official interpretation of the Popes and the Church, which, from them made believe how backward, reactionary and conservative, almost always it remained as a The voice of one crying in the wilderness. Indeed the modernists have the audacity to claim that the new doctrines of the Council, from them interpreted the use of dolphins, They are not advanced enough, and that the Council would retain the outdated views, from which they, which are considered to be the so-called “protagonists”[2] del Council, feel free him from duty for a real confrontation with the modern world. For this they will take the liberty to assert their ideas even against the Council itself, understood by them as if the regeneration of the Church and the discovery of the true gospel after 2000 years of lies and legends told by the pre-conciliar Church.

.

the Maritain, for its part, already he stated in 1966 in his famous declaration, that modernism of today is pneumonia in comparison with hayfever modernism of St. Pius X times [3]. If therefore these already said that modernism is the sum of all heresies, one wonders what the Holy Pontiff would say of modernism, if he were alive today.

.

Today, in fact modernists, for the above reasons, far they outnumber, influential and dangerous than those of St. Pius X times. They reached many places of power and therefore are often arrogant and overbearing. They have not only affected the lower clergy, the laity and theologians, but also the same hierarchy, Church to the Holy See and the institutions and bodies dependent on it, including the Roman Curia and especially the Pontifical Universities.

.

Because of this, i Papi post-conciliar, loyal, infallible teachers of the faith, They found themselves isolated, restrained and sometimes opposed by dark forces present among their own employees, as can be deduced from certain delays, lack of information, reticence, silences, hesitations, shyness in their pastoral work and discipline and in their doctrinal magisterium, in particular as regards the order of the errors and of the scandals. Expenses, like me, He worked for years among the collaborators of St. John Paul II as a theologian advisor to the Secretary of State, He knows something.

.

With the advent of Pope Francis, certainly open to modernity, modernists have changed tactics: no charges to conservatism or backwardness Pope, as they had done up to Benedict XVI, but an extreme effort to corner the figure of the Pontiff, interpreting and exploiting certain choices, certain gestures or words of Pope, that actually, misinterpreted or taken out of context, would seem to play in their favor.

.

Dad, for its part, for now - barring some significant reference [4] - He prefers to remain silent and to treat them with great kindness, recovering their positive sides, relying and leveraging on their conscience, so at some point they realize they themselves, the negative consequences to which they lead their ideas, that they put in a bind.

.

But we must say, for the duty of honesty and justice, that the purpose of acquiring the old modernism than today is not without some positive instance, as in all historical phenomena, even more aberrant. The intervention of St. Pius X was certainly an effective cure, but he not seriously confronted the instance of the modernists, He remained more than ever valid and at the same time unresolved.

.

Today all the historians of the Church recognize that, if one part were provident Thomistic revival promoted by Pope Leo XIII in the late nineteenth century, as well as its rich humanism and the openings of the great Pope - just think about the Of the new things —, on the other, Catholic theology and the Magisterium of the Church needed more attention, consideration and benevolence towards the modern culture of the last centuries, even if he born outside and maybe also against the Church, in order to take in the Catholic wisdom, how valid it, even amid so many mistakes, he had generated. Some spirits sensitive to the needs of the Church, but undisciplined, come Maurice Blondel [5], Lucien Laberthonnière [6], Eduard Le Roy [7], Alfred Loisy [8] e George Tyrrell [9] They began to feel more strongly the duty of Catholic thought to use the achievements of modern thought. but Senonchè, unable to understand and appreciate the values ​​already acquired by Christian wisdom, considered them outdated and believed to be able to express and enrich the Christian truth in categories derived from modernity, in contrast with those values. He was born on modernism [10].

.

Action taken by Saint Pius X They were very energetic and the moment seemed to have won the modernist. In parallel to the wise and beneficent of the holy Pontiff it worked but also a body of information and repression, the Piano membership, led by Bishop. Umberto Benigni, which he does not always knew to be transported with due restraint, so that even innocent people were affected, now venerated in the Church, as the Blessed Cardinal Andrea Carlo Ferrari, Archbishop of Milan, and two Dominicans learned theologians, Father Juan Gonzalez Arintero, theologian of spirituality, and the exegete Joseph Lagrange, of which is in progress Cause of Beatification. Expenses, as the great Dominican theologian Antoninus-Dalmace Sertillanges, He attempted a dialogue with the modernists, He was suspected of Modernism.

.

However, when you say “modernism”, We should be warned that we must be very cautious in the use of the term, starting from a exact concept of modernism, especially if we refer to particular cases or persons, so as not to hurt anyone. In fact modernism, as all diseases of the spirit, that, similarly to those of the physical, They are subject to degrees of entities, contemplates the acute stages and forms myths, not to say that sometimes, indeed often, It presents only traces or mild symptoms. However, it must assess in each case the extent of this morbid affection and express themselves accordingly with the necessary nuance and precision to the respect due to people affected by the disease. Who is suffering from a cancer in the early stages is not in the same conditions of those affected by metastases.

.

Recall that in the meantime 1904, near Paris, a Le Saulchoir, the Dominicans, clearly they warned that the crisis was coming up, They founded a School of Theology [11], which started with a good renewal of theology program, that matched speculation in the school of St. Thomas (gardeil, Roland-Gosselin, Shortcut) the historical foundation of theology (Chenu, Mandonnet). Initially it produced excellent publications; but senonchè, at a certain point, in the forties, in it he was heard, especially in Chenu, the trend typical of modernism historicist, so much so that it was censured by Rome in Chenu 1944. Then there arose the so-called new theology, which also he was successful outside of the Dominican Order, as for example in the de Lubac, of the Jesuits, which for some time they had started in Leuven reckless and imprudent experiments contacts with Kant in the work of Joseph Maréchal.

.

Modernism of the Jesuits [12] was compounded by the fact that in the de Lubac their traditional voluntarism, joined the repudiation of the conceptual distinctions, against the backdrop of a dynamic vision of the spirit as self-transcendence, eventually blur the distinction between the natural supernatural so that nature seemed to require the supernatural to settle in root his aspirations and his tendency to transcendence. the natura, in short, it was deprived of its own autonomy and ontological and existential consistency and seemed nothing more than a vague aspiration to grace, whose function seemed to run out nel'attuare the potential and meet the needs of nature. The power-act scheme, that only applies within the same essence, It was applied to express the relationship of nature with grace, instead they are to each other essentially different. In these conditions, moreover, it was easy to flip the ratio and falling into naturalism and activism of a super-powerful nature and in Pelagianism, that was always the risk of voluntarism Jesuitical.

.

fainted, more generally, under the influence of evolutionism dogmatic Modernist, the perception of the distinction in the dogmatic concepts, between the immutable meaning of the dogma - the Word of God that does not pass - and the progressive clarification of that meaning thanks to historical-critical research and logical deduction, ie advance or progress towards the fullness of truth. The improvement and development of theological knowledge was exchanged for a replacement process of a concept to another, judged obsolete and therefore false, the illusion of an impossible fidelity to the original meaning of the dogma, and the Word of God. The progressive instance annulled that conservation: the same thing is happening today among the modernists, who do not understand that a refusal to advance from a safe starting point and without a fixed base and solid, on which rise, and believe that knowledge is more advanced than the one that canceled the previous results, and when you cancel the concept that you would like to better understand, it means taking off the ground under their feet and end up in the void of the chat, when not really heresy. On the other hand the solution was not and is not even in today remain locked in their acquired notions and simply repeat them, look at them and comment on them, rejecting as danger or treachery on asking questions about what is still unknown, the new problems, for which the solutions are not ready, abandoning opinions that prove incorrect, The set new research goals or take note of the progress made by others or by the Church: see the new doctrines of Vatican II.

.

The rise of new theology, that basically was a renewed form of modernism, provoked, as is known, the intervention of Pius XII with The human race, which reaffirmed the unchanging value of dogmatic concepts and the distinction between natural and supernatural. It was a stern reminder to the Saulchoir School. Some great Dominican theologians, as Garrigou-Lagrange, Browne and Cordovani tried to dissuade friends from Chenu and continue on the, but there was nothing to do. St. John XXIII, with its open-minded, He recovered later the healthy aspects of School, but now it had taken a modernist fold, that led to the closure in the years immediately after the Council. Sad and instructive outcome of an initiative started so well, so brave, forward-looking and promising, splendid example of the insight of the Dominican theology, I know, Alas, he had not suggested the modernist poison.

.

But how and why even today, after their defeat inflicted by St. Pius X, the modernists they've got live, albeit often disguised and in a different form, although it rejected their plea - you understand - the nickname “modernist”? How and with what excuses they could come back with so much strength and ability to seduce? Where to take their arguments? Their most compelling argument is an undeniable historical truth accompanied by a genuine evangelical instance, which I have already mentioned: the fact that St. Pius X was not able or did not think to meet their just demands: ammodernare healthily Christian vita, so that the Church may welcome the values ​​of the modern world, that move with the times, who can speak of Christ persuasively to our contemporaries, then a new apologetics and a new missionary zeal, without the possession of an immutable truth becomes at ristagnazione, of stiffness, of closures, of backwardness and stagnation, unlike ma, stimulus and incentive for the opening of the new, and constantly advancing and progress towards the fullness of truth and of God's kingdom. It was necessary to break some old habits no longer beneficial or ideas and, in continuity and fidelity to the Gospel, invent new methods of evangelization, and open new roads in search of truth and progress of holiness. All these instances were implemented from San Giovanni XXIII, who heard them so important, urgent and can not be postponed, so tied to the fate of the Church, that decided to convene a council to solve them on purpose. Of course, He did not say this explicitly, ma, after the fact, especially after fifty years by the Council, the thing we understand very well now.

.

The Second Vatican Council It has a definite progressive character and innovative, which is not found in other Councils. Which causes lefevriani to judge a council “anomalous”, betraying the Tradition, and he changed the essence of the Church, while the modernists is a novelty absolute and revolutionary, a kind of reinterpretation of Christianity. Wrong one to the other, because they confuse what a council is substantial or essential with what is accidental, changing or contingent. Mistaken for lefevriani, that make absolute certain accidents, uses or of past councils mode, that are not found in the Vatican II - for example the canons -, up to not recognize the Second Vatican Council as a regular and legitimate all other, why reject or misunderstand its doctrines. Wrong modernists, which reduce the substantial or permanent all'accidentale, ie to the changing, they do not see the continuity between the last council and the previous [13].

.

An ecumenical council, in its essence or permanent substance, It is a meeting of the bishops under Pope, organized with the consent of the Pope and approved by the Pope, in which they deal with the most important affairs of the Church, is of order disciplinary pastoral and doctrinal. accidental elements instead, that can change, They are for example the style of the language, The voting system, ways of proceeding, the quality of representation, headquarters, the language used, the division of matter, and things like. It is not according to these things that you have to judge whether a council is a true Council, or is or is not in continuity with previous, but considering the very essence and legitimacy of the Council.

.

As to the authority of his teachings, are primarily infallible dogmatic definitions (Such a definition is in order) proposals defining how (method of defining); as well as those who deal directly or indirectly related to issues of faith or faith. Are fallible or changing pastoral teachings, legal or disciplinary. Obviously there is no doubt that the Council worked crypto-modernist, who threw the mask, come Rahner [14], only after they felt sure of impunity, He is having achieved great prestige and presenting itself as the authoritative interpreters of the Council. these members, at the Council, They gave a valuable contribution, but kept it hidden their modernism, which came to light only after the Council. The lefevriani, instead, not having understood the value of the new council and their continuity with tradition, They began to deny the infallibility of the doctrines of the Council and even to accuse them or fallibility or false, exchanging for the modernistic doctrines of the Council.

.

While Pope John XXIII said at the Council the already mentioned pastoral orientation, Blessed Paul VI had the idea to take advantage of the council to let him add a dogmatic matter relating ecclesiology. And so it was that the Council deepened the mystery of the Church with new important contributions dogmatic, touching all its essential components, the origin of the Church by divine revelation, the various classes, ministries and offices, to the Church's relationship with the world, and with all men of good will, even non-Catholics, up to non-believers, to reach the end of the eschatological Church, until the Mariology, understood as a symbol, figure, type, paradigm, and the model of ecclesiology. And here we must say that never, throughout the history of councils, an Ecumenical Council has provided us with a doctrine so rich and authoritative on Madonna, after the Council of Ephesus. The Second Vatican Council presents us with Mary as a mother caring for the benefit of all mankind, to which she carries out its mission and street guide to reach her son in a journey of conversion and penance for our sins. An eminent manner in which Madonna plays this saving activities, as is known, are the Marian apparitions and messages, among which the most famous among thousands are Lourdes and Fatima, to which we can add Medjugorje, although its authenticity and attitude to take are currently before the Holy See, unlike the two first places, that they are approved and recommended by the Church for a long time. However, This extraordinary phenomenon, quite unique in the history of the Church, from the 1981 he was born, He has continued to show signs of credibility and produce fruit for millions of pilgrims, that since then is happening in that place, where we have the most diverse and characteristic manifestations of Christian piety: the Eucharistic Liturgies celebrated by many priests and followed by huge crowds with exemplary devotion and meditation, the preaching of God's Word, to adoration, to meditation, to personal and communal prayer, confessions without number, the harsh penitential practices, the acts of charity, human solidarity, and of reconciliation, ecumenical dialogues, the conversion phenomena and to the improvement of life intentions, the generous hospitality from the locals. As for the daily messages, you count, They are based on the most perfect orthodoxy and love for Christ, for the Church, for the Pope, for Bishops, for priests, for religious, for the salvation and sanctification of souls, for the conversion of sinners. In each of them clear shine affection, the tenderness, wisdom, the concern, sometimes just severity of the Mother.

.

The messages, as is known, never enter into themes, issues or practical problems, but always they offer moral and spiritual incentives, that can serve all, urging always the fundamental duties of Christians, First the confident prayer, humble and insistent. therefore arouses surprise warned against modernism, that Our Lady did, not for the first time, precisely in the recent Solemnity of the Annunciation. Here are the words:

.

"Dear children!! Even today, the Most High has allowed me to be with you and guide you on the path of conversion. Many hearts were closed to the grace and do not want to listen to my call. you children, pray and fight against temptation and against all the evil plans that Satan offers you through modernism. Be strong in prayer and with the cross in his hands pray that the evil will not use and do not win in you. I am with you and pray for you. Thank you for responding to my call".

.

Note the severity with which Maria qualification modernism: is an "evil plan of Satan". This fact is modernism, that hiding behind a fascinating appearances also in piety, It is the main enemy of the Church, we can and must defeat the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
