FATHER THOMAS TYN, A POST-TRADITIONALIST RECONCILE AND A CURRENT MODEL TODAY MORE THAN EVER

Father Tomas corrects the tormented and presumptuous Lutheran relationship with God by showing how in the process of justification harmonize the work of grace and faith with that of reason, works and free will, and as the concern must moderate confidence, considering sin and divine justice, while the confidence must moderate fear considering the divine mercy. Fear without trust leads to despair. Trust without fear leads to pride.

The 1 January we remembered the anniversary of the 25th anniversary of the pious death of the Servant of God Father Tomas Tyn, Dominican theologian of Czech origin who was born in Brno in 1950 and buried in Neckargemünd in Germany at the home of his parents, where the mother, Dr. Ludmila, is still alive. Father Tomas is being promoted by the Cause of Beatification Dominican Province Bohemian and open in Bologna in 2006 by Cardinal Carlo Caffarra, Archbishop of the City [see who e who]. Indeed, Father Tomas lived from 1972 al 1989 in the Dominican convent of Bologna, teaching moral theology and the history of philosophy in local Theological Study, today Faculty of Theology of Emilia-Romagna.

The pages of this our online magazine have already had to deal with this Servant of God, especially by Gianni T. Baptists, attorney Rieti, founder and president of the International Tomas Tyn (AITT see who), that collects devotees, admirers and scholars from various parts of Italy and the world. In these twenty-five years the reputation of sanctity of the Servant of God has spread in his homeland, the Czech Republic, in Italy and in the world thanks to the work of his devotees and to the work of the Cause of Beatification, who collected numerous testimonies and documents. In particular theology of Father Tyn has aroused the interest of scholars, which have treated some aspects of his thought, among others in an international congress, which was held over him in Bologna in 2011.

Father Tomas was a great time and great theologian, philosopher, as stated in the letter of Cardinal Caffara opening of the Cause [see who, who]. Though both died at a young age, his scientific, considering the many pastoral duties from which it was taken, is surprisingly abundant and high-level. It expresses not only the author's personal thoughts, but also a large quantity of doctrines from other sources and other Authors, starting from teaching Biblical, to switch to the Magisterium of the Church, to St. Thomas and many other theologians and not only theologians, Ancient and modern, Catholics and non-Catholics, often known in the original texts, Whereas Father Tyn had eight languages.

Its primary mission that Divine Wisdom entrusted to Father Tomas was to recall and explain the truth of the traditional Catholic doctrine, which, nell'agitato of the immediate post-conciliar period, in danger of being forgotten because of a misunderstanding of the new modernistic doctrines of the Council. The Servant of God, that, thanks to his keen discernment, was able to recognize the value of those doctrines in their continuity with tradition, did not allow himself to be duped by these frauds and those theologians who conceived the theological progress on the model of the French Revolution, but expressed, a good Catholic, its full adherence to the teachings of the Council and smug.

Just twenty years, young monk already has exceptional human maturity, cultural and theological, while still a student at the Theological Studio Dominican Walberberg in Germany, with great perspicacity he realized the danger of Karl Rahner in an environment influenced by its charming impostures. And then he composed in Latin, In the 1970, thesis as annual, an acute critical 104 pages of the conception of morality Rahner, by title “Rahnerianae presupposing philosophical doctrine of ethical existential. Some information relating to the article Charles Rahneris SJ. which intitulatur “The ethical problems of existential formal“, demonstrating the setting existentialist-situationist already in his time condemned by Pope Pius XII, and everything, note well, in an environment infected by modernism and Lutheranism.

The clarity and fairness of such intellectual and moral behavior Of course procured to Tomas, from the environment, envy and hostility, which soon advised him to leave that environment, albeit with pain and not without gratitude for what he had received, to land to the community and at the Theological Bolognese. Who Fra Tomas, for his intelligence, for the goodness and kindness of his character, for his humility and for all its virtues, it immediately attracted the esteem and affection of the confreres and many other people, to whom he offered his ministry of duct, pious and zealous priest and guide souls to the perfection of the Gospel.

l'ex Domenicano Otto Hermann Pesch

Ancora Germany Between Tomas energetically refused even the thesis exposed by his teacher who then went by the Order, Eight father Pesch, who, in climate irenic and falsely Ecumenical Vatican II, had published a really big and erudite book in which he claimed that Thomas Luther and they agreed in the doctrine of justification, just that instead about what actually is the greatest opposition to the Catholic doctrine of Luther.
However, in the Lutheran view of justification not everything is wrong. In Luther remains the biblical teaching for which the grace begins the work of justification making right the works of man. The Dominicans have always recognized this truth so much that at the end of the sixteenth century, in fiery controversy with the Jesuits in the famous dispute Aids, the Jesuits accused the Dominicans wire Lutheranism for their doctrine of physical premozione supported by Domingo Báñez.

This point is reiterated in the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and the Lutheran World Federation of 1999 [see who]. This is not a document of the Magisterium, because it bears the signature of the Pope, ma, as the word, than a simple “Advice”, though undoubtedly the Holy See, but that does not have the authority to similar statements at a higher level, such as that of the Second Vatican Council on ecumenism Reintegratio [see who]. Here is the infallibility of the Magisterium, which it is not present in the previous document. The remaining E, in the Council document there is no mention of the issue of justification.

Martin Luther, vintage portrait

Father Tomas has no difficulty in recognizing that point of contact of the Church with the Lutherans. But he has at heart to remember the fallacy of Lutheran doctrine of justification. That is why, arrived in Bologna, made his licentiate thesis at the Theological College in Dominican 1976 under the direction of Father Alberto Galli with the title Of divine grace and justification. The opposition between the theology of Luther and St Thomas'. Indeed, what is lacking in the Lutheran view of justification is the doctrine of the merit of good works in grace, in order to reward of eternal life. And this absence is also mentioned in the joint document. For this Father Tyn are grown with special care in this thesis and the doctoral Angelicum in Rome 1978, entitled Divine action and human freedom in the process of justification according to the doctrine of St. Thomas Aquinas, to illustrate the essence, the causes and functions of about supernatural, gift of God, with which, uniting ourselves to the infinite merits of Christ, we operate our salvation.

Luther confuses human nature as such with the fallen nature because of sin and tending to sin. Identifies sin with the tendency to sin. So then to Luther there is no sound reason, a metaphysics, a natural theology, a good will, a natural law, a merit, an ultimate natural man. For him everything is paganism, pelagianesimo, incredulity, hypocrisy and pride. Because of this, grace in Luther does not erase the sin, but coexists with it. God's forgiveness is the eye with which God looks at Christ's righteousness to the sinner and imputes from outside. The grace is not a quality inherent in the soul of the just created, but it is the righteousness of Christ outside of the right but referred to the justified. God justifies, because it does not look to the sinner, but look to Christ right, that looks to the sinner, that is not right in himself, but in relation to Christ. The right therefore is at once a sinner, not simply prone to sin, but perpetually in a state of sin. Why not give meritorious works of salvation, if not faith to be saved despite it remains sinners.

In his relationship with God Luther was never able to achieve the balance characteristic of Catholicism. Party as a young man from a feeling of terror and despair to God, which he became unbearable and he believed mistakenly be the Catholic view, with the famous episode of the Tower, thought to find the solution in a presumptuous certainty of salvation without works and without merit. He never understood what is the fear of God and has always confused with an irrational fear and exaggerated scruple. Because of this, never managed to harmonize the fear with confidence, whereby, eliminating the fear, fell into presumption and complacency, without ever being able, as witnessed many episodes of his life, to eliminate all the despair and guilt. Hence his dialectic paradoxical coexistence of sin and grace, of innocence and guilt, peace and torment, that seems somehow herald the dark mystic Jakob Böhme and the Hegelian dialectic.

Moreover the excessive, well known, Luther's concern for one's self, which led him to summarize the whole of Christianity in the question of justification and salvation of his own, when in fact the ultimate aim of Christianity is the contemplation and vision of God. Christianity does not lead to self-absorption, as if we were the center of reality, but opening humble and generous to God and neighbor. In order to correct these errors of Luther, Father Tyn has thoroughly investigated the nature, the action, the principles, the purpose and species of divine grace and nature, the principles, operation and the purpose of free will. This led him also to illustrate the nature, the principles and purposes Gown, the law and the moral, as professor of moral theology, as well as the natural and supernatural virtues, on the spiritual life and bliss. Deepening the speech, Father Tyn arrived at metaphysical roots of morality with interesting studies on intellect, knowledge with acute refutations of idealism and the will, demonstrating the rational foundations of freedom.

The monumental work of the Servant of God Tomas Tyn on the metaphysics of substance

Hence the survey about human nature and about the person the step was short, and here is his masterful treatise about 1000 pages Metaphysics of substance. Participation and analogy of being, grandiose and thorough investigation leading theologian to deepen the relationship between being for participation and be essentially, as well as the degree of analog metaphysical person. With that we have a look very wide and articulate the relationship between man and God. Father Tomas so opposed to the Lutheran vision of God's relationship with man the right Catholic concept founded on the notion of an analogue of efficient causality, for which the cause before God, in this case the grace, causes the free act of man as the cause of his acts - physical premotion - and therefore as a meritorious cause not of dignity (condigno), as divine causality of Christ, but fairness (de reasonable), so that the grace as a gift created not mean the tendency to sin, but removes the mortal sin, incompatible with the grace, while it can coexist with venial sin.

Martin Luther affixes his theses on the portal of the cathedral, image taken from the film [see who ]

Father Tomas corrects the tormented and presumptuous Lutheran relationship with God showing how in the process of justification harmonize the work of grace and faith with that of reason, works and free will, and as the concern must moderate confidence, considering sin and divine justice, while the confidence must moderate fear considering the divine mercy. Fear without trust leads to despair. Trust without fear leads to pride. (C)ol his respect for both the Scripture for Tradition, both to Christ and the Church, Father Tomas shows how Christianity Luther's Sola Scriptura and a Christ without the Church is a Christian and therefore false dimidiato, Today dangerously represented by modernism existentialist and idealistic, interpreter of the false doctrines of the Council. So the Dominican theologian shows us also the true path of ecumenism with Protestants: recognition of common truths, but also great boldness in calling the brothers separated from the street of the error into the way of truth.

Father Tomas Tyn makes us understand that it is false the idea that widespread today be Protestants is simply a different way of being Christian, and not rather a way defective and incomplete. It is contrary to ecumenism taught to us by the Council, which in its document on ecumenism expresses the duty of non-Catholics to seek full communion with the Church.

Tomb of Father Tomas Tyn in the German city of Neckargemünd

In concluding this brief portrait, we can say that the bright and holy figure of Father Tomas, rich gifts of the Holy Spirit, imposes itself in a situation of internal church conflicts like the present, for fairness and balance the top of his Catholic vision, summarizing the instance of tradition with that of progress, respect for immutable values ​​with sincere adherence to the evangelising message of Vatican II, loyalty to St. Thomas Aquinas Doctor of the church with wide critical knowledge of modern thought, a love for the truth adamant with the practice of most generous charity, which led to the exercise of those heroic virtues, witnessed by all those who knew him and have benefited his wise and learned ministry as a priest of Jesus Christ.

"But if you really want a rule, here's what I can tell: Be strong in faith, not for fear of sins, but because it is very nice for an intelligent man to live with God " [Vladimir Sergeevich Solov'ev, The three dialogues and the story of the Antichrist]

a beautiful photographic image of St. John Paul II

In his second visit to Germany, Saint John Paul II said back in 1984: "... Today the world is experiencing the twelfth chapter of the Book of Revelation of the Apostle John». Statement that should lead us to a specific question: if the Holy Pontiff expressed thirty years ago in this way, today, which would be expressed in terms?

.

But as the facts show, it appears that from a bit’ of time in this part of the Augusti Pontiffs is easier to proclaim saints and blessed rather than listen to them and follow them, worshiping in them and in their supreme magisterium of the mystery and the dogma of the faith of the mandate given by the Word of God to Peter [cf. Mt 16, 14-18]. It is well known and common knowledge that make a nice canonization basically costs nothing. As it costs to set up foundations dedicated to St. John XXIII, San Giovanni Paolo II, to Blessed Paul VI. Some banks with a board of directors composed of Masons always happy to foraging barrel of money the irrepressible arrogance of some bishop and cardinal, in order to hit and destroy as much as possible from within the Church, around Italy is always, what seem rather scarce are bishops and cardinals that taking charge of all the dangerous risks involved agree to be lynched by the square no longer willing to listen and incorporate certain gospel messages. Or worse: to be torn apart within the same ecclesial world to have invited the army increasingly busy modernists and apostates to put into practice what certain saints and blessed pontiffs urge to practice through the acts of their teaching, written for the glory of God and for the salvation of man, not for the glory of man, that from century to century is able to use God as an excuse, his Church and all his saints to the glory of egocentrism.

Today we have the media capable of transmitting images in real time, the memory of the ceremony of beatification, below that of John Paul II's canonization, should lead us to reflect, because they had never seen before until all the principal sources of degradation condition in which today the Church of Christ immortalized on television as stars to what they themselves called "big event", steeped in worldly clericalese and now devoid of adequate ecclesial languages. To celebrate the new Blessed and holy pontiff have so marched, in red and purple, on the catwalks of honor, even those on which rests the responsibility of having thrown the Bride of Christ on the sidewalk like a prostitute. The same because of which the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI will make withdrawal from the Petrine ministry a few years later, declaring no longer able, by age and lack of physical forces, to hold certain situations, which in other words is to say: the inability to source certain people, place that “situations” - if anything escapes someone - it means “people”, ie those who have generated such situations and which still hold the feet using the worst of the worst authoritarianism and harassment against those who dare to denounce evil just because they want to revive his beloved wife from the sidewalk where the scoundrels have thrown, certainly not for the useless pleasure to denounce evil end in itself.

.

Stoning of Saint Stephen, pictorial work of the sixteenth century.

At the ceremony of beatification of John Paul II, for real paradox linked as such to that mystery of evil that deceives us since the dawn of time, in practice hath witnessed this: … as if those who had assassinated the deacon Stephen throwing stones [CF. At 6, 8-12; 7, 54-60], a few years after they had declared protomartire, participating in first ahead of everyone to his beatification ceremony and extolling to newspapers, televisions and a swarm of Vaticanists without historical memory, the heroic virtues. And to think that many romantics believe that prostitutes are exercising their ancient craft only inside the brothel and not in the ecclesiastical buildings …

portrait of Vladimir Solovyov [Moscow, 16 January 1853 - Uzkoe, 31 July 1900]

Soloviev disappears in the early twentieth century, century in which he was leaning after living the nineteenth travails and prophesied a future of many Browse: philosophy, liberalism, modernism, communisms, psychoanalysis, sociologisms, theologians. Ethen the ranks of the world Belle Epoque, in years when the man was certainly the rise of a happy world, inspired by the new major thrusts of technological progress that sometimes comes to real forms of idolatry of technology; a technology in whose name often, modern thought, tried to evict the very idea of ​​God from society. All atll'ombra oriented and inspired by the new religion of progress, the evangelical principle of charity patronage became emptied of feelings and supports metaphysical, in a safe world to march towards an era illuminated by the freedom of a new social security.

A copy of the old New York Times announcing the Titanic disaster

In the first decade of the twentieth century, the world was touched by an incident that shook public opinion: the sinking of the Titanic at inabissatosi 2.20 on the night of 14 and the 15 April of 1912 in temperate waters around zero degrees. Of 2.223 passenger 1.523 died dying for frostbite. All were equipped with life jacket and could have been saved thanks to the rescue, that when they arrived they could only collect hundreds of bodies floating in the icy waters. This disaster, considered the largest in the history of navigation, produced a copious literature, which hath then joined the cinematography.

.

The Titanic was the expression of a man certain to dominate on the laws of nature, invincible and sure to give life to things indestructible, unassailable. Then there is a strong symbolic element, to quote a famous teacher and student who later became famous with his opponents: Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung: ice. This titan unsinkable and invincible created by a man self-proclaimed as invincible, It is not affected by the hot passion of the sun, but the ice, frost which had begun to create the modern man who can do without God. I nentre the masters of modern thought pushing locomotives to ice barriers, Soloviev do not let yourself be enchanted and announces in a lucid and prophetic evils that would be born by the metastases that man was putting into circulation; evils that then, the concrete evidence of the facts, one by one came true.

.

Lenin and Stalin, Soviet painting of the Fifties

Discoursing in 1880 According to the above speech Dostoevsky, it almost seems like that Soloviev intuit the brutality of Communism after the October Revolution of 1917 principieranno to affect humanity, giving the world a completely different attitude after the end of World War I. The man is depersonalized in social and political project of Real Socialism, becoming leading biblical humanity created in the image and likeness of God, anonymous cog victim of an ideology created in the image and likeness of a man socially and humanly corrupted, through which we come to known processes of dehumanization carried out by Lenin and especially Stalin.

.

Statue in San Michele Arcangelo elected patron of the Vatican City, desired by Pope Benedict XVI and then placed near the Palace of the Governorate, with the inscription below to Lucifer pierced by the lance: “And the gates of hell would not prevail“…

In his last publication, The three dialogues and the story of the Antichrist, finished work on Easter Sunday of 1900, it is striking to note the clarity with which Soloviev It provides that the twentieth century will be the era of the last great wars, of strife and revolutions [CF. Ed. Marietti support. 184]. After that says that everything will be ready to lose meaning because the old structure into separate nations and disappear almost everywhere the last remnants of monarchical institutions [pag. 188]. We will then arrive to the Union of the United States of Europe [pag. 195]. It is indeed amazing perspicacity with which Soloviev It describes the great crisis that hit Christianity in the last decades of the twentieth century, depicted through’Antichrist who manage to influence and condition a bit 'all. In him, as is presented here, it is not difficult to see the emblem of the confused and ambiguous religiosity of these years our: he - followed narrate Soloviev - Will be a convinced spiritualist, an admirable philanthropist, a committed pacifist and diligent, a vegetarian looking, an animal determined and active. It Will Be, against the other, also an expert exegete: its culture will create a framework the biblical even a degree Honorary faculty of Tübingen. Above all, will prove an excellent ecumenist, able to communicate with words full of sweetness, wisdom and eloquence [pag. 211]. Against Christ will not in principle hostile [pag. 190]; indeed, I appreciate the high teaching. But it can bear - and therefore the censor - its absolute uniqueness [pag. 190]; and therefore does not resign to admit and to proclaim that he is risen and alive today.

.

The Three Dialogues and the Antichrist Stories published by Editrice Marietti

In these lines takes shape criticism Christianity of “values”, of the “openings” he was born in “dialogue”, where apparently remains little room for mystery of the person of the Word of God made Man, crucified and risen for us. Everything seems absorbed in molasses sentimental tenderness of vaporous. Of course, we have something to think, if we think of the militancy of faith reduced to a humanitarian socio-cultural; the Gospel message identified in comparison with irenic all philosophies and all religions; the Church of God mistaken for an organization of social promotion in which they multiply “events” built on strategies marketing. We are sure that Soloviev has not really expected what actually happened and that it is precisely the trap today's most threatening “holy nation” redeemed by the blood of Christ? It is a very disturbing question that for this should not be circumvented; and instead for this is rejected, sometimes violently, within the Church and outside the Church.

.

crimson one gets the impression that the world is on the brink of madness is too busy defending the “rights” the worst perversions proprinate by the culture of gender, to turn our gaze to a massacre of Christians in recent years has exceeded that of the early centuries of Christianity

Soloviev He has fully understood the twentieth century, perhaps we are that we did not understand him, or we do not want to understand for a reactive-defensive closure, so much so that he had not ever listened. This is demonstrated by many attitudes of many Christians today who consider themselves educated and engaged on the side of the Church, or who consider themselves “Christian adults”. Let's just think about the forms increasingly exasperated and exasperating of selfish individualism determinants our customs and our laws by which it is gradually subverted the natural order. You just need to analyze the “culture” the gender which is increasingly taking on the characteristics of a devastating dictatorship, with a lot of complaints in accordance with law and sentencing courts against persons recognized guilty of having expressed through freedom of thought and speech a peaceful dissent, considered but no more right to freedom of thought and speech but crime, if somehow touches the powerful mafia and social policy of the Sodomites, that already in most states have imposed protocols through which you teach “values” of the worst sexual perversions right from elementary schools, disguised under the false label of luciferin “right to diversity“. In some countries of decadent Europe - which now sick with hatred towards itself and from its Christian roots is gradually handing Islam -, Some say that the dished by certain powerful mafias of pederasts and lesbians with hate is a poisonous culture of death that will lead to the collapse, as has happened throughout history in many ancient civilizations sunk from glory to decline and therefore swept away, now likely to end up convicted of homophobia. To follow with pacifism often turned into violent pacifundism and the non-mutated violence often ideological aggression imbued with contempt for others.

.

The ideals of peace and fraternity I am no longer read in an evangelical key but Enlightenment and as such structured on Jacobin fury, ie in ideological anti-Christian, with the consequent result that the face of the aggression and to the worst bullying, many of our pastors end up giving weakly and running now to deal with masters of this world, or, like Esau, undersell the legitimate birthright for a plate of lentils [CF. Gen 25, 29-34], leaving without any defense the weak and the oppressed, in a particular way if they are Catholics and Christians persecuted for their faith, in the House of God and out of the House of God, because today, the worst persecution, are not those of the persecuted for the Church, but those who are persecuted inside the church at the hands of churchmen.

.

In all this lie some powerful strands of modern theology that, after having confused the absolute metaphysical concept understood as absolute faith, with the concept entirely different socio-political absolutism, have made a real de-construction and destruction of the dogma, after having undermined the concept of the absoluteness of faith by which Christ is for us the Word of God incarnate, dead has risen, and as such is the center of our present, our being and becoming future, then the ultimate goal of our entire eschatological humanism.

.

Of the series ” e you’ that m'envento pe’ rise ” – Father Geraldo Magela de Silva, priest of the Diocese of Pesqueira in Brazil, celebrates a Mass for the Masons who parade in the Parish of Our Lady of Conception, receiving the Eucharist and climb onto the presbytery with squares and compasses.

What to say about the theological virtue of Charity, the most important, as defined by St. Paul [CF. The Cor 13, 13], which gradually has replaced one of the most cherished concepts culture Masonic: solidarity? I will not repeat, and I will only refer to my article on Newspeak I speak the words emptied of their meaning and filled the other [see who], all in the wake of a tragedy today that sometimes seems irreversible: we have lost our language, which is the metaphysical, to meet not to “new words”, but meaningless concepts that undermine the foundations of our faith, who needs to express clear and precise words, a common vocabulary that allows us to seek perfection in unity [CF. GV 17, 20-21.23].

.

But what is the reality that many of our ecclesial bishops e cardinaloni pretend not to see, to avoid having to run for cover as soon as possible? Narrated by people like me who lives far from inside the Church's life as a member of the College of Priests, the bleak reality is this: if we put together three or four priests discover that each of them has a “his” language, a “its” ecclesiology, a “its” pastoral … and all this often ends result in a “its” doctrine. In one thing these priests will be united in a nefarious common element: in the spirit clerical, in malice clerks, minutehé when it undermines and destroys the spirit of the Church stands in its place the worst of the spirit clerical. If we take as a paradigm of the Diocese diocyes, that of Rome, Episcopal seat of the Chair of Peter, and we go around the parishes during the celebration of the Masses, choosing for example ten to the event spaRSE through L'Urbe, discover in them ten priests who celebrate the Eucharistic Sacrifice in dIECI different ways, Some also moved by the evident spirit of …”e mo’ that m'envento pe’ rise “? We fly over the whole of certain groups Neocatechumenal and charismatic that now have de facto “rites” own, including rites, animists and finished in syncretistic Catholic ritual; but we overlook the same way about certain so-called traditionalists, under which the number of those who “they adore” accidents outside of the sacred liturgy rather than substances immutable and eternal Memorial Vivo and Santo, is unfortunately very high. In short: sometimes seems to be in an open field without any possibility of shelter with grenades raining down from all sides.

.

If they were not clear results “mythical” and the sexual revolution “liberation” woman, here is an advertising company of designers Dolce&Gabbana in which simulates the rape of a woman authentic object of the XXI century, daughter of the woman finally “released” four decades before the wrath of feminist movements

After a sexual revolution who experienced a riot of selfishness that has not liberated women at all, but he really made “object” more than it has ever been historically and socially, and that has split the human sexuality from love, Novecento is finally reached such levels of institutionalized perversion that it is difficult to find equal historical adequate, even going to borrow the images of Sodom and Gomorrah, But that does not make the idea, especially not make “justice” the reality of our present.

.

The twentieth century was the century of oppressive history, no respect for human life and without mercy; and certain instincts now circulating for a century in the blood of the new generations not resolve cinetelevisivi invitations to tender, because the work that is required is much more complex, but especially more drastic, because it is based on a risk that you can not avoid running: not the pleasure to the masses and elites Power. Not to mention the true mercy, that correctly understood, implemented and practiced according to the Mystery of Revelation, exposed and summarized in numerous passages of the Gospels, Let us take only one among several:

.

"If your right eye to sin and cast it from you: fact you should lose one of your members, rather than your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, tagliala and gettala way of you: fact you should lose one of your members, rather than your whole body go into hell " [Mt 5, 29-30]

.

which wise doctor, will be so criminally “merciful”, to let the gangrene assail the whole body, instead of saving through amputation infected?

If within the Church Contemporary someone is convinced, however, that before a body beset by a devastating degenerative diabetes that caused gangrene in the foot, is instead very merciful not amputate, because it is not good to deprive a human being of a limb, in such a case is obvious: We prepare the inevitable consequence of gangrene that from there soon assail all the other limbs of the body.

.

The twentieth century was the century that witnessed the extermination of the Jews, that was not the only, although few remember the Armenian genocide at the turn of the First World War. No one commemorates the tens and tens of millions killed under the Soviet regime and few venture out to count the victims sacrificed in the various parts of the world communist utopia. In the course of this century has imposed on entire populations atheism State, while in Western secularized has spread atheism hedonistic and libertarian, until you get the idea of ​​the grotesque “death of God”.

.

Vladimir Sergeevich Solov'ev

Soloviev he was a prophet and outdated teacher and unheeded, Long relegated to the visionary literature. It was actually in appassionato defender bashful man to every philanthropy. He was a tireless apostle of peace and opponent of pacifism. Advocated unity among Christians and was harshly critical of each irenicism. He was in love with nature but totally detached from today's ecological infatuations, or to put it briefly: friend was in love with the revealed Truth of the Word of God and hostile enemy of every ideology and every socio-religious theology pseudo. These are the guides of which today we desperately need, together with the true mercy. We do not need, never a body infected with gangrenous limbs will be saved with the distilled water of the vaporous tenderness, nor with the mutated mercy mercy, because it is only with the great mercy of the scalpel, that a body suffering from gangrene can be saved …

BABEL and Newspeak: A CHURCH WITHOUT VOCABULARY BY HALF A CENTURY

Years ago I spent a lot of time for reflection and study of some particular socio-ecclesial, then securing in some of my books - in particular in the work And Satan came Trino - A concept on which followed always argue: the principle of reversal of good and evil that turns evil into good and good into evil, until the "natural" destruction of the concept of good and evil, in a world where the secular and ecclesial subjective consciousness is canceled and the objective consciousness - what Carl Jung would call in his own way "collective unconscious" or "collective consciousness" - is often totally annihilated. This process, which is the supreme creator the Devil, inevitably passes through the "emptying" of the words, first private content then filled the other, eg charity without truth, mercy without justice ...

.

mercy and judgment of God

When the beginning of the year 2000 I began to perceive certain forms of philanthropic gooders at the time in development and now reached the peak of real perversion, in the opening of my book published then in 2007 I wrote: "Charity without truth is lame, Truth without charity is blind. Charity welcomes the Truth to the extent that the Truth welcomes the Charity " (1). And it is the love that brings me to define our Creator God as a virile as the originating source of the concept of the manhood that takes fitness visible and tangible in the Incarnate Word, Christ the Lord, true God and true Man. All this to say that charity - at least that Christian - has nothing to do with some molasses. Love-love is a true "attribute" of God and as such is not even conceivable without the truth; in the same way in which mercy is unthinkable - at least in a Christian - without truth and justice. If, therefore, we want to reduce man to the true impotence of not be to condemn the not become, first you must empty words, alterarle and falsificarle, then deprive him of a vocabulary, then a language.

In running the last half century has been renovated within the ecclesial society what God's children have already experienced in the past, all through the same procedures and with the same consequences as the bottom end. Our modernity is in fact contained in the Old Testament story which tells of the construction of the Tower of Babel, Hebrew מגדל בבל - Migdol bavel :

.

Tower of Babel

The whole earth had one language and the same words. Migrated from men chanced upon a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. They said to one another: "Come on, let us make bricks and cociamoli fire ». They had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said: "come, build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make a name, lest we be scattered over all the earth ". But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The Lord said,: "There, they are one people, and they have all one language; This is the beginning of their work and now they plan to do will be impossible for them. Let us go down and confuse their language, they may not understand one another's speech ". The Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. This is why it was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth, and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon all the earth (2).

.

temptation

Among the many interpretations of this allegorical tale that besides the allegory contains the root of divine truth, love always prefer the image of punishment for an act of human arrogance of the man who not only tries to challenge God, but to replace God. However, the heart of the great temptation to which Adam and Eve yielded was the deception of the devil enclosed in an expression that runs through the dawn of time the history of humanity: … if you eat of this fruit of which there have been forbidden to feed yourselves, you will be like God. In this way the Tempter alters and doubts the word of God, just emptying it and turning it into another, insinuating the malevolent doubt that that prohibition is born only by jealousy of God, desirous that Adam and Eve were not like him.

.

In the ancient exegesis made when he still possessed and stored it carefully a vocabulary that contained within itself the real meanings of words and a common universal language, is used to make a connection between the episode of the Tower of Babel and the descent of the Holy Spirit on the apostles at Pentecost Cenacle. Through the action of grace of the Holy Spirit to take the Apostles speak different languages ​​thus becoming understandable to people of all nations, healing the fracture originated in this way in the past in Babel.

.

theological disputes

They are the first to criticize the limits of the decadent neo-scholastic, that the authentic school is just a parody. If desired we can also to criticize scientific and relevant to certain parts of the work or to some of the same thoughts Angelic Doctor, that is dogmatic truths - in a wonderful way and so far unsurpassed - but whose thought, also not free from some human errors, is not a dogma of faith. St. Thomas Aquinas speaks of dogmas, and effectively transmits them through the meter of the best metaphysical, but the Summa Theologica is not a dogma, know it and always say the first Thomists, some even so hilarious saying that "God is not one, Trine and … tom », Although speculation of Aquinas proven for centuries for its valuable effectiveness with which guides us to penetrate the arcane mysteries of the Triune God.

The Cardinals Walter Kasper and Karl Lehmann, disciples of the German theologian Karl Rahner

The exponents of the various theological schools have affrontanti for centuries in deep and sometimes furious theological debates, all benefiting from the legitimate right of citizenship within the Church. This occurred at various times of the long space that was the Middle Ages, still defined by certain irreducible donkeys as "era of the dark ages", an expression also adopted by certain ecclesiastics and theologians, some of them in the chair in our pontifical universities. The truth, is that in the "terrible" season "dark ages", which marked instead of the extraordinary explosion of the human intellect through the sciences, the arti, philosophy and theology, not only the comparison was possible but sought, favored and advocated; contrary to today, where above the ashes of the metaphysical language now de-constructed originated a crisis of unprecedented dogma, until the collapse in the paradox is understood in the strictest etymological sense of the Greek root of παρά [versus] e glory [opinion]. The perverse paradox today is that you can put into question the Incarnation of the Word of God, you can read in a purely allegorical resurrection of Christ, you can reduce the Holy Eucharist to mere symbolism of a joyful feast, you can scempiare the sacred liturgy according to the arbitrary action of the bohemian Kiko Arguello and Carmen Hernandez di, You can drag within the Church African animism and Pentecostalism in North America through the devastating work of certain charismatic possessed, you can pass off the ecclesiology more ambiguous newspeak ciellino seated carrieristico of practice on the bandwagon, but you can not put into question the pernicious theories of Karl Rahner and all stars from the New Theology; of all the stars born from post erettosi council as a genuine Babel above the doctrines of Vatican II, on which we celebrated the great betrayal in a climate of brutal dictatorship that does not admit any healthy discussion. Or as said in a theological study of Southern a teacher to a seminarian: "What you think I do not care. What I want is for you to take me word for word examination Christology Walter Kasper and Karl Lehmann, if you want to pass my exam, otherwise …». And these modern “theology” Today in the chair, who have studied the patristic not on Greek texts but on summaries of handouts translated, which replaced the dogmatic talk by talking sociological; these destroyers of metaphysics and all common sense, often it is those who ironic style from the Enlightenment volteriani in the odor of Freemasonry Settecentesca on so-called "dark ages"; them who took the lamp over the table and have hidden under the bushel (3) finally delivering the Bride of Christ to a long night of darkness.

Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini during a keynote

One time, one of several priests pulled up in our pretify - Those factories today deformation which are now reduced certain seminars - and bred through the best of the worst of the Protestant exegesis, baccalaureate, specialized and finally doctorate from the “rabbinical school” the Pontifical Biblical Institute without ever having touched what in philosophy and theology is truly Catholic thought, raised complaints about me, according to him guilty of criticizing the thought of “Most Holy Father of the Church” Carlo Maria Martini. The bishop of this priest kindly exhorted me to be less impetuous. I said to the bishop: "That his priest, not only flirts with anything that is not Catholic, but squints euthanasia, says so sibilino that the speech on abortion should be assessed “case by case”, that one day the Church does not consider whether women priests at least the diaconate to women, that the speech of divorced Catholics will go evaluated quickly and well. Responsible to cure a center of theological education, called to lecture leftists and ideological supporters of the culture of gender … yet has even impudenza to complain that I would have uttered a sacrilegious “blasphemy against the Holy Spirit”, ie have dared to criticize the thought of a thinker that I fear has made his soul to God in a crisis of faith. And mind you, Venerable Bishop, not fetchmo this because I dare to judge the intimate consciousness of Cardinal Martini, that only God can scrutinize and judgeKing, but because I analyzed some of his texts; and even if you want to read Nighttime conversations in Jerusalem, understand the inner drama of this man whom around theological studies Italians are dedicated lectures entitled celebrative “The word of Cardinal Martini”, all while day after day you forget more and more the Word of God, replaced with the verb of modern idols, including among them also Cardinal Martini. But this is not the problem but other: she knows that his priest critical subliminally the magistero of John Paul II and Benedict XVI, launching on both the Martinian “anathema” that the Church would be back at least 200 year old? Well mi tip: you may perhaps question the tenets of Catholic morality, criticize the teaching of the Church and of the last two Popes with modernistic haughtiness by biblical scholars pro-Protestant, and at the same time, however, be prevented from questioning, on a strictly scientific, theological and pastoral, certain statements unhappy and blatantly incorrect pronounced by Cardinal Martini?». Replied the Bishop: «Dear son, What can I do?». I replied: «Thethe place her know what to do, but the bishop is she, not me. Anyhow: the first step to solve the serious problems, is to first admit their existence, certainly not deny it ". Phi, in a very delicate, I reminded the bishop what constitutes serious and devastating lack for priests who exercise the priesthood in communion with the fullness of his priesthood and for the People of God entrusted to him, Il grave sin di dismissedone, He impotentza arising from non-action, sport now widely practiced in our increasingly episcopate reduced to a team of officials in the career that they do not want trouble, who do not like to discuss let alone are willing to call the rebellious children, However, despite being able to draw those who say the obvious: "WhatI do not pastoral "and often is not even Catholic. All with good peace of the defuntor Cardinal Martini, that under the test of facts that cannot be easily denied, he spent his life to please and to be celebrated in glory by all the intellectual circles of the left, praised by strampa anti-Catholic and Masonic; all while John Paul II before, Benedict XVI after, by the same intellectual circles and by the newspapers were made literally in pieces methodically and often fierce. I repeat, these are the facts, with all due respect martinitt formed on the best of the worst of exegesis and Protestant heresies modernist now in power; and around his theological studies Italian organize seminars on “The word of Cardinal Martini”, calling often to pontificate other immacabile false prophet and bad teacher: Enzo Bianchi.

After the de-construction of the dogma erected on the detection and on the deposit of faith established by the great dogmatic councils of the Church, in its place have replaced the dogmatizations human thoughts of different Rahner, they created their first new vocabulary. Indeed, so that the coup could be really devastating, it was necessary to first establish two “myths” intangibles that could serve as neo-dogma: first of all, a new era with all the implications of the messianic event, it reads "hermeneutic of rupture and discontinuity”, namely the Church understood as an entity created by the post-Vatican II; then a new lexicon, ie all the ambiguous terminology of the new theological vocabulary rahneriano.

.

the work of Antonio Livi, True and false theology

In the work True and false theology my elder brother Antonio Livi is the phenomenon of de-dogmatization explaining with scientific rigor how metaphysics is essential for the interpretation of the dogma, as expressed in a scientific certainties of common sense. Data published at the height of his maturity philosophical and theological, this refers to the production of the French Dominican Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, in particular to his studies on common sense and to philosophy of being and dogmatic formulas, to follow the encyclical Faith and Reason of St. John Paul II, the drafting of which is not missed the contribution of Antonio Livi.

.

the work of George Orwell, 1984

To poison the truth it is first necessary to poison the appropriate language to express it. So that, all these sowers of poisons and destruction that have poisoned the good theology and de-structured or destroyed the dogma, they ended up creating a language peppered their typical and specific neologisms, or how would George Orwell in his prophetic novel "1984": one Newspeak. And who does not speak Newspeak ends up being declared taboo, to quote a neologism that Freud so dear to certain theologians and ecclesiologists modernists.

.

When the Church waiver of a common language, Universal and precise, this is the language dogmatic, fixed and timeless, since its purpose and mission is to travel time, then comes the lack of communication and renewed the drama of the pride of Babel. In short, urge to run for cover and take note of the dramatic figure: we have lost the language to communicate the mysteries of faith, that require a lexicon precisely and accurately, which is independent of the company and the time; and this language is the language of metaphysical.

.

In the Church change - and must change - the accidents of language, but not the substance of the language based on the eternal unchanging. Or to put it with a courtly illustrative example: “Afterwards, ere no one who was God favellasse “. Traducento from courtly language to the current substance has: before the man spoke God already had. L ' accident - Which is the language of expression - can instead change and, without changing the substance of a single iota, Today we can safely say the same thing as saying: “Before anyone spoke God already had”.

.

precious chalice

Dire: “This is my body ” or say “Here this is my body”, it's the same thing, with all due respect to certain Lefebvrians that “they adore” plus the external accident and changing the of the Latins rather than the substance of the Eucharist which is Christ the eternal and immutable, This living and true, regardless of the external accidents which are by their very nature changing. Say instead “there, this represents my body”, would hardly be a mutation of the accident formal language but a mutation of the most delicate ontological substance, precisely linked to the ontology of divine uncreated, immutable and eternal. Hence for example the discussion on “for many” that by means of the accident language is instead now “for everyone “, thing that could open deep theological debates, but have no reason to be because Benedict XVI ordered that the correction in “for many ” in missals translated into various languages, several of which are already corrected and printed. As for me I say always “for many ” since the first Mass celebrated; and that not for abuse but for arbitrary adherent fidelity to the original texts, starting of course from those of the Gospel.

.

Missal of St. Pius V

Let me be clear: the Sacrifice of Christ destroys sin for the man called in its own way to contribute to this destruction to rebuild the New Adam. The Apostle Paul states with theological coherence that Christ "died for all," and that his death has destroyed sin (4). In a different but similar context, the author of the Letter to the Hebrews does not refer to “everyone”, for all, in a for many, a “a lot of”: «[…] the sins of many " (5). Exactly what pro for you and for many, that resonates in the original Latin text of the oldest Eucharistic Prayer, then translated into most of the national languages ​​by the term “for everyone”. In the original greek is used oι πολλοι, which literally means “most” but it does not mean “everyone”, term used in the Gospel of St. Mark and St. Matthew and just in the narrative of the institution of the Eucharist, in which the Evangelists do not use πάντες ἄνθρωποι [for all men]. We are then faced with a blatant inconsistency? Why the use of the term “for everyone” e “for many” almost similar in other contexts? It is not a semantic fallacy if we compare in terms escalotologico and theological “for many” e “for everyone” the mystery of the royal priesthood of Christ, that is not born with the priestly character but that assumes; and since I hired him for himself but for us, the question sounds nothing short of legitimate: Christ becomes the High Priest “for many” O “for everyone”?

.

from theological professorship to the Chair of Peter

There is no contradiction between the different rows above-mentioned: Christ's death, although it is sufficient for all, and although it took place for all is not effective if not for those who need to be saved because they want to be saved; equally true of the Royal Priesthood of Christ that takes effect for many who want to participate to benefit. Not everyone submit to Him in faith and works through the plan of salvation that is offered in the love and grace of the divine power; offered to all but not imposed. So is the man of freedom and free will to make effective or completely ineffective the Royal Priesthood of Christ. Therefore, transcription of “for many” derived from the greek oι πολλοι labeled “for all ", it is not at all - as Benedict XVI explained in a letter of his 2012 the chairman of the German Bishops' Conference restless - a faithful translation "but rather an interpretation" that might sound, I might add I, also not bit’ arbitrary. Benedict XVI, in his capacity as refined theologian, teaches us all thatNo theology, paying close attention to the meaning of words and their appropriate use - especially in the delicate sphere of dogmatic theology or in the specific case of sacramental dogmatics - does not mean moving on the sophisms played on matters of goat wool, but protect the truth from the danger of error making first use of the correct word, which is the Word of God, and only God's Word.

.

the Dominican theologian John Cavalcoli usually defined as Karl Rahner Great Sorcerer's Apprentice

The truth is announced through words, because the Word of God himself became living word; and divine truth, to be announced and transmitted, does not require simple words appropriate, but its specific words. Who took care to study well and to fund the first major dogmatic councils celebrated during the first eight centuries of the Church's life, knows that the first problem that poses to the Fathers was first to find words adequate to express the mystery, however, that not being present in the vocabulary, were modulated by the philosophical lexicon greek. Since the sixties of the twentieth century, this “apparatus” linguistic philosophy and theology born by councils, the literature of the Fathers and speculation of the greatest doctors of the Church, was suddenly dismantled to chase after "new words", the Newspeak of Great Sorcerer's Apprentice, as he likes to indicate Karl Rahner, the Dominican Giovanni Cavalcoli, also the author of a work that constitutes a milestone in the critical thinking rahneriano [see who], given to the press after three decades of research and collecting in it too many valuable critical insights of the Servant of God Tomas Tyn, already the author at the time of a study in which he refuted the ambiguities and errors inherent in the thought of this famous German theologian.

.

Then taken by the euphoria of the big "update" and a "new Pentecost" misunderstood, we have lost the word eternal and immutable God and the language is appropriate and accurate through which pass, and today we trudge trying to express ourselves with a newspeak peppered with decadent German Romanticism, purpose of which is only to falsify the truth, in bad or good faith, dispersed and sometimes crazy under the shadow of the Tower of Babel which resonate the empty or dangerous than a thousand words and filosofismi sociologisms pseudo theological.

.

The first of which externalization public-private in externalization public-private it seems that you are showing without this metaphysical language and that is based on immutable dogma, it would seem the reigning Pontiff, while around him a nugulo of courtiers surrounding increasingly masters' according to their own whims, refusing to listen to the truth to get lost behind fables " (6).

.

prologue to the Gospel of St. John the Apostle

The last Synod of Bishops, those were the Synod Fathers able to understand and listen, or just to read - I'm not even saying to translate, but only to read - a text in Latin? Is it possible that in Rome, when in many homes priestly happens that thirty priests who speak ten different languages ​​should concelebrate the Eucharist, use English as the language, instead of Latin? Many should ask questions, while Peter, for its part, should hurry to give answers and to take serious action, instead of playing to please the media playing himself with Newspeak [see who]. What is in fact, while the burning house falls apart, water the garden of daisies that not wither with the warmth generated by the fire, ie announce a reform of the Roman Curia increasingly unlikely? Perhaps in order to please those who do not want to eat always Reform, but only the great and irrepressible desire to destroy Rome headquarters perennial of the Chair of Peter?
