Dear Father Ariel.

They no longer a nun nurse on duty. I played my last years of work, or better than Christian mission, in a hospital, where for 10 years I was the head nurse. Do not hide the fact that at first, reading the material that I send, I thought it was a joke, but the news was authentic. The around the poster and brochure that advertises this conference on Gynecological cosmetic surgeryto be held at an academic institution of the Holy See. More than to know his thinking (that reading it for a few years I can well imagine) the wonder: but what is happening?

Dialogues on the vagina the shadow of the Tomb of the Prince of the Apostles

We all still in the ears and the heart's loving admonition of St. Giovanni Paolo II than in 1978 He said beginning his pontificate with the famous words: "Open, rather: open wide the doors to Christ and his saving power "Cf. WHO, WHO].

That decline is bad There is known from an anthropological point of view, philosophical, historical and even theological; and we are also conscious of living a moment of crisis of faith and intra-ecclesial decline that has no historical precedent. In its twenty centuries of life the Holy Church of Christ went through moments of great crisis, but as today is done without prior. It never in fact had happened - even in the most inauspicious time - that the Church favored the crisis of faith within itself. Never before it had happened today that internally the good become bad, evil good, the virtue of vice and virtue vice, sound doctrine heresy and heresy sound doctrine. Never had happened that priests deeply mediocre, weak in faith, gaps in the doctrine and taken at will to the fashions of this world and to conform to them, They were promoted to the episcopate glory, and all with severe damage done to many particular Churches, damage that soon will become irreversible, considering that these bishops will enter into the Sacred Order of Priests new facts priests in his own image; in the image of the world to enjoy the world, not in the image of Christ to please Christ and, if necessary, sorrow for the world.

letter of invitation of the President of the Society of Cosmetic Gynecology, Dr.. Alexandros Bader

So it is natural to ask: What would you say to this San Giovanni Paolo II, viewing transformed into grotesque way, almost burlesque-circus, his loving admonition? Because today, the warning of the Holy Pontiff, for more full Holy Year, It was changed to ... "Open wide the legs to the specialists of cosmetic gynecological" !?

But we come to the fact: the 20 e 21 April 2016 at L 'Augustian Patristic Institute [cf. WHO] - Papal institution located in front of San Pietro, dependent on the Holy See and aggregated to the Pontifical Lateran University -, will be held the first World Congress of Gynecological cosmetic. The present clinical specialists are all renowned and most of them are the most distant from the Catholic world can exist, but also by the more generic Christian world, made up of many combinations born mainly from the heresy produced schism of Luther; heresy that, today as today, for how things are going really likely to include a small thing in comparison of our reality.

In the shadow of St. Peter's Dome on which recently were already projected monkeys and chimpanzees on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Vergine Maria [cf. Video of Hypatia Roman cat, WHO] in a few months we will finally be enlightened on a big secret: how to stimulate the mysterious so-called "G point”, that the system may generate a more creative and exciting sex life?

some of vaginal rejuvenation techniques

Many horizons will open in this conference, for example with regard to vaginal reconstruction techniques, or through which plastic-surgical technique to increase the lips of the female genital sex, or how to reduce those too "chipped" due to an excessive use which has understandable wear product. It will then be clarified and explained how to proceed surgically vaginal rejuvenation. In the program of the conference it is ample space dedicated to the scientific explanation of the new techniques of lifting the clitoris, to follow up with the latest techniques on cosmetic vaginoplasty.

In short, a Church which has become now aware of how outdated the message "open the doors to Christ and his saving power», It seems to invite to "open your legs to the surgeon who specializes in cosmetic gynecology". What we thank God is that unlike monkeys projected onto St. Peter on the day of the Immaculate Conception, This new idea will not take place at least in the solemnity of the Annunciation of the Angel to the Blessed Vergine Maria.

the conference venue: Augustinian Patristic Institute, Vatican City State (Rome)

Such a massive presence of luminaries of gynecology to the Holy See it is still well and good, but especially understandable. There is in fact known that within the leonine walls are ever less prelates at risk of prostate diseases, missing, not a few of them, of the raw material necessary and essential in order to ill: the male attributes.

It is therefore possible that several prelates greet with joy this conference, thereby seizing the happy chance to learn how and with what prodigious techniques is surgically possible to proceed to the "restoration" of many worn orifices; these orifices that led some of them to the episcopate, in the seats of various apostolic nunciatures around the world, on the chairs of various dioceses, to the dignity of cardinals … everything always being faithful to what is shown by the disgraceful events of recent years, It not infrequently resulted in judicial proceedings and criminal cases that have seriously harmed the dignity of the Church, mainly because of all ecclesiastical authority, even knowing, for years they have remained silent instead of acting, thus sinking deeper into tremendous cardinal sin of sloth …
... as it is known, and well known by now for several decades: an ecclesiastical charge val well a worn orifice, especially if the aesthetic gynecology then you run to the aid directly into your home to share what has become the lifting and eliminate signs of wear due to reasons of ecclesiastical career by those prelates who, the mouth, all have used it but prayers.

all surgical aesthetic specialties, up to the aesthetic treatment of the clitoris, reported in large bottom of page

We have to take note, in a serious and objective, that even a person sexually incattivito, famously irreverent and aggressive toward the Catholic Church and Catholicism, this has always been the Spanish director Pedro Almodovar, he could give life, through his perverse fantasies, to a grotesque image as The dialogues on the vagina in the Vatican.

The next conference will perhaps be promoted by the Society of Urologists to discuss the techniques of stretching the penis and increasing its circumference in patients with congenital micro-penis? In the event to, This possible new conference, It could be organized at the St. Anselm Pontifical Athenaeum, with guest speaker emeritus Archabbot of Montecassino, former member of the Italian Episcopal Conference, who could speak to those present of his rich experience with escort ed i marchettari paid professionals barrel of money centimeter behind centimeter, night after night, with the money coming from the nineteenth revenue per thousand and intended to Caritas of the Diocese he ruled? And even in the latter case not a few, within the hallowed halls, they should ask themselves: how old the ecclesiastical authorities were aware of the dissolute life of this prelate, including the use of hard drugs? Why they did not act in time, waiting with helplessness that omission to take the obligatory initiatives was the criminal law of the state before various embezzlement against which were then detected either offenses? What it is happening in many abbeys and Benedictine and Cistercian monasteries scattered across Europe, many of which are similar to real brothel, governed by abbots that seem languid ladies incipriate, to which must be ascribed the merit of having recruited among its monks a veritable army of homosexuals in search of quiet refuge and safe rein? Even so, will expect to act are the penal laws of the Member, when some of these vices and malvezzi will become offenses?

date and place of the conference …

Expressed suffering with these facts, I hope some red robe does not dare to take it with myself Reverend Lord, because it is precisely the factual data; and in a few months will be acts of a conference on vagina celebrated in the shadow of the Tomb of the Prince of the Apostles, with invitations to specialists around the world printed in the background of the Papal Archbasilica of St. Peter and with the assurance already given to all participants could also benefit from a hearing reserved for them by the Roman Pontiff, always indicates how the program. Now, I always pray God to save me from any form of inappropriate vulgarity, but before this I made me came back to mind the title of a little film pleasant in the early eighties, of which I know only the title, never having seen, and the title would seem to do so fall as they say brush: «long live the seal … and that God benedoca» [cf. WHO]. Think: at the time the movie - that this could be screened in cinemas parish for its contents modest today - it was confiscated by two magistrates behind ecclesiastical reporting because of its title, and the director risked arrest. But here we are finally served the bill after three decades away, after all this moralizing clerical against which it was enough that a monsignorotto telephoned to copings Democrat duty to delete a program on state television. And a result of the logical and inevitable results of moralism clerical-Democrat remains, What horrid paradigm, that poor soul emeritus-Abbot of Montecassino, that is not the only, but only one of several that he took by megalomania and blinded by the certainty of being untouchable, then above good and evil, He has exceeded all human and moral measure.

This is unfortunately the present state of the poor bride of Christ I intend to defend, certainly not lay on the sidewalk, as they are making many "cautious” ed “appropriate"Eminent and Excellent Signori, in their dissociation real human and Christian, I fear irreversible, They may even have the audacity to scold me for daring to say nothing but the blatant and solar horrible truth: The dialogues on the vagina the shadow of the Tomb of the Prince of the Apostles, complete with a blessing hearing of the Pope at the end of the conference. And anyone to refute, Father Federico Lombardi in the head, Official spokesman of the Press Office of the Holy See, come forward; but the face, however, with solid and clear arguments, why now, climbing on slippery mirrors, able to smell them from afar even naive, no longer willing to believe all are in effect for “adult Catholics”, that aim to de-Christianize and ridicule the Church from within, making the eyes of the comic world, grotesque and caricatural. And all this is skilled and devastating work of the devil.

NOTE OF 19 DECEMBER 2015, hours 12.00

.

A friend Vatican journalist has been good enough to send me a note of denial of the Holy See by the Father Federico Lombardi, S.J. A note that we publish immediately and also with extreme pleasure.

see WHO

According things like informs the official spokesman of the Holy See, we note that an association recognized by the international scientific society would involve the Holy See and its academic institution in a convention to which 'no one had been informed'.

We therefore hope that those who have involved the Holy See without his knowledge, printing invitations and brochure with the background image of the Archbasilica Papale di San Pietro, however, at the beginning of the Holy Year and Holy Christmas doors, they meet at the appropriate locations. The aim is not to have talked about that noble organ of the vagina to which we owe the virgin birth of the Son of God's only begotten, but to have spread news with all the trappings of officialdom and sowing understandable confusion among the Catholic faithful who, with the times they are racing, day after day are now ready to be prepared for anything.

But one thing I remain perplexed: can the organizers of this event have been so foolish as to come up with a conference on’aesthetics of the vagina the Pontifical Institute Augustinian, pointing official invitation for some time printed on paper and sent to numerous specialists, as well as reproduced in electronic and diffused on the telematic network? So that I wonder: it would be better to clarify that at the Pontifical Institute, some of the many incompetent that now populate our ecclesiastical structures, He has made available a room-conferences without having bothered to check before and carefully what it was about this clinical conference? Because maybe, the whole, It depends again by the superficiality of the wrong person put in the wrong place. And in this case, blame, would be “our”, not the organizers of the conference on’aesthetics of the vagina in the Vatican.

AN ARTICLE OF ROBERTO de Mattei ABOUT LOTS OF ROME

Not knowing the history means not knowing who we are, where we come from and from what we projected. Not knowing the history means not to know our being, with the serious risk of prejudice so our becoming future. This is the warning contained in Roberto de Mattei

Dear Father Ariel.

I want to alert you an article by Prof. Roberto de Mattei on Correspondence Romana, because it is an article that I was deeply impressed and would like to know what do you think. In the past, you have also debated so on with this Professor, but I do not think that affects much his judgment.

Adriana Sampieri

Dear Reader.

.

historian Roberto de Mattei, Director of the Agency Print Correspondence Romana

I never ceased to estimate the Prof. Roberto de Mattei, What I have said many times especially when I moved towards him all of the criticism focused on purely doctrinal, historical-pastoral or ecclesial. Then know that as long as he struggles to say that it is always alive in the deepest sense of the word and Christian. I believe in fact that they belong, together with the Dominican John Cavalcoli, the tradition of “warriors”, of the “wrestlers”. War e lotte, Our le, certainly not inspired by the gladiatorial arenas, but the genuine tradition of the Church Fathers; War e lotte that took place in those centers of philosophical and theological debate, in which often the fathers came to the use of hands, sometimes even to the use of sticks, or to blunt instruments of various shapes. It is in fact happened several times throughout history and in the Assizes of the great dogmatic councils intervene soldiers set at the head outside the great hall, promptly rushed to divide the bishops who animated in their discussions eventually unleash furious fights between them.

Times were really beautiful, those! Ancòra not prevailed today's clerical-correct I had to say and not to say, for suggesting so “wisely” ambiguous … let alone if the Fathers of the Church assembled in council to define the great dogmas had principiato by saying that the Son could be also one being with the Father, ma … a powder’ yes and a little’ no, according to the various circumstances. Or imagine if they would ever have coined a hybrid and ambiguous formula to bring the Arians into agreement with the Fathers of the Church who accused Arius of heresy by throwing thunderbolts and thunderbolts at him.

Together with dogmatic theology I always practiced the history of dogma, because in my opinion, without a solid historical dogma is likely to remain suspended between heaven and earth, or worse than change into something ethereal, in mere metaphysical intellectualism, while metaphysics must stand with my heart raised to the sky towards the heavenly Jerusalem but at the same time with his feet firmly on the ground in the Terrestrial Jerusalem.

The dogma is born by a precise history rooted in the Gospels that narrate an extraordinary event: the irruption of God in human history through the Mystery of the Word made man. And from this event narrated in the Gospels that is the beating heart of the deposit of our faith, part of our history.

Often known, instead, from many brother priests and many theologians a propensity to forget, or worse to not know their history. And those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it, When he had to say George Santayana [Madrid 1863 - Rome 1952], one of the masters of critical realism: "Those who can not remember the past are condemned to repeat it" [cf. Reason in Common Sense].

The synthesis of Roberto de Mattei I think underlying this; a synthesis that arises, however, from his job, which is that of the historian.

The 2 of May, during a conference held in Rome at the Franciscans of the Immaculate [cf. WHO], during those talks very articulate had to lament that today "the story progresses so fast that sometimes it almost seems not to have ever had".

Not knowing the history it means not knowing who we are, where we come from and from what we projected. Not knowing the history means not to know our being, with the serious risk of prejudice so our becoming future. This is the warning contained in Roberto de Mattei, that follows a precise scientific rigor.

A nice article and shareable thank you for letting us know that and gladly point out to our readers in time’Patmos Island.

STILL ON “DIVORCED AND RESPONDED”, THE THIRD ROUND WITH ANTONIO LIVI
.

The Church does not say anywhere that these people are constantly deprived of the grace of God, that is in mortal sin. On the contrary, already allowed today that they have to make a spiritual communion, It supposes that they may be in grace, Giacchè, as you might think to make a spiritual communion in a state of mortal sin?

Author
John Cavalcoli OP

.

Monsignor Antonio Livi asked me new objections on its website Apostolic Union Faith and Reason [see WHO, WHO]; site which can be accessed from home-page Dell’Patmos Island by scrolling to the right under the heading “publications and associations”. To them I reply. The objections are numbered. Each time I follow my answer.

.

1. The Church rightly considers these people as in "state of sin", namely in an objective situation that deprives them of the grace of God and that does not allow them to receive sacramental absolution until they have shown to the confessor concrete signs of conversion (repentance inner and outer repair), which would allow them to return to a "state of grace" and to be able to approach the Communion.

.

The Church does not say anywhere that these people are constantly deprived of the grace of God, that is in mortal sin. On the contrary, already allowed today that they have to make a spiritual communion, It supposes that they may be in grace, Giacchè, as you might think to make a spiritual communion in a state of mortal sin?

.

2. the Dominican theologian is not to take note of distinction (I remembered that I already) between "case" (hypothetical event considered in the abstract) it's done" (concrete event that can be the object of subjective experience and intersubjective). If he had taken account of this logical distinction, would not continue to accuse of "rash judgment" who, like me, only to remember that, according to the doctrine of the Magisterium, the baptized who have been divorced and have set up a public adulterous cohabitation are objectively (As free and responsible moral object of the action) in a state of mortal sin.

.

All we can and we have to say or know based on the doctrine of the Church, It is that the two are in a state of life illicit, irregular, very dangerous for their souls and give scandal to the faithful. But between knowing that and the support that they are unceasingly and inexorably into a state of mortal sin, He runs a lot and would, as they say in logic, a consequence of the larger premises. We must therefore distinguish the state of a person's life from the moral acts of this person, or the state of the will of this person. The state of life remains; the will can change at any moment from good to bad and from bad to good. A state of life can help or hinder sin or grace, but it can cause them, because sin is caused by ill will, while the good action is caused by the goodwill move on divine grace, what theologians have called "physical premozione". Like this, one that is in the state of remarried divorced, It may be in grace, while one that he has embraced the state of Carthusian, It may be in mortal sin.

.

3. Cavalcoli unduly restricts the case of the "state of sin" to cohabitation (oggettivamente counterfeit) among people who have been divorced from the legitimate spouse. With this undue restriction of the subject he does not take into account all the other serious moral responsibilities I mentioned before, and then he pretends to ignore that moral responsibility is personal: there is a responsibility of torque, and then there is even the possibility (proposed, as we have seen, Archbishop of Ancona) "discharge" the couple as a single moral subject.

.

Unfortunately Antonio Livi makes me say what I did not say. First, I never said that the two are limited to doing only sins against chastity, ma, on the contrary, I mentioned the possibility that they make also other sins. Second, I have never spoken of a "responsibility to couple", because I know that everyone has their own responsibility. So one of the two could be in grace and the other in sin.

.

4. Horses, that in recent times, in his polemic against "Lefebvre" she demanded that are considered "infallible" teachings of Vatican II, who also he wished to be a non-dogmatic Council (“pastoral”), now it requires them to be regarded as "infallible" even all the teachings of the ordinary magisterium, undogmatic, ma mere “pastoral”, of this Pope. At the same time, to justify changes “disciplinary” (but which may imply a radical reform of doctrine) he supposes and requires that the Pope wants to bring in pastoral practice on family, Cavalcoli claims it is regarded as merely "pastoral", and therefore reformable, the teaching of St. John Paul II on marriage: teaching instead is undoubtedly dogmatic in intention and matter, as this is already defined in terms of theological and moral irreformable from Scripture and from the Council of Trent. It is in fact the law of God, interpreted authoritatively and infallibly by the Church. Nonetheless, Horses, regarding the sacrament of marriage and access to the sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist by the faithful who live in concubinage and not want to change their state of life, He insists that the Church can and must change this law, considering the nature purely "disciplinary", so accidental and temporary, when it is presented as fundamental and perennial.

.

Following the statements by the Popes Vatican II, instead we must first of all say that Vatican II was not only pastoral, but also doctrinal. And if by "infallible" means simply that the doctrines - mind: the doctrines, not the pastoral directives - the Council does not contain errors, that will always be true, and which they can not be mistaken neither now or in the future, Well I do not see what the problem is to say that they are infallible, in the obvious sense of the word and the current, ie "that can not be wrong", even if there are no new dogmatic definitions allegedly infallible. In second place, I have explained it on’Patmos Island that in other places that John Paul II in St. Family member company it is limited simply to remember, justify and recommend the ecclesiastical law in force, without posing the question of whether it can be changed.

I have already shown in previous interventions in the’Patmos Island and elsewhere, that the current rule, as in conformity with the divine law, It does not follow from it so necessary and unique, but it is a ministry among other possible. Because of this, the church, under its jurisdiction, (the "power of the keys"), on the grounds that she is a judge, can change it.

Here there is not at stake, says Antonio Livi, l '"interpretation", but the application of divine law, which, breadth of possible applications, can admit other, different from the present one. Of course the interpretation of the divine law is a matter of dogma. And here it is clear that the truth is only one. But here, instead it is a practical matter: how to make sure that the sacraments, respecting their unchanging essence, can bring the maximum possible result of grace? Here you can enjoy different possible solutions. And here we measure the pastoral wisdom of the Church.

Thirdly, I would like to ask Antonio Livi where I would have said "infallible" all the teachings of this Pontiff. If anything, I defended from those who accuse him of heresy. But this I think I have the right and duty to do so.

.
5. Cavalcoli it hides the alleged intention of Pope Francis to proceed in this direction.

.

On the contrary, I always said I do not presume to know at all what the Holy Father will decide. I just said and demonstrated that, if he thinks fit to give the sacraments to divorced and remarried, in special cases and on very strict conditions, It has the right and is free to do so, without him we should blame, as some exalted, of heresy.

.

6. Cavalcoli want the new sacramental discipline stipulates that "in the internal forum" you can authorize a faithful to receive Communion "but could not get absolution", precisely with the lack of requirements for true contrition and the way out of the situation of illegitimate. Of these requirements, as I said, Judge is the priest confessor, which operates in the inner hole, ie during the interview to the confessional. But can he, at the same time, deny the true sacramental absolution - for lack of objective requirements of divine and ecclesiastical law on the sacrament of Penance – and "authorize" to do likewise Communion as subjectively believes that this penitent was absolved by God "directly", ie by extrasacramentale?

.

If the penitent is only in a state of venial sin, It is not devoid of grace. Whereby, after being purified from sin with personal penitential acts, It may receive Communion, even without confession before. Ma, as I said, it's clear that, if the Pope gives the two sacraments, these also, if they have fallen into mortal sin, will have to go to confession before Communion, as do all the other faithful.
We have to remember also the doctrine of the Church, according to which even those who had fallen into mortal sin and does not have the opportunity to go to confession, He is forgiven by God by virtue of an act of perfect contrition or sorrow, in view of the Sacrament as soon as possible and if possible.

This article was written by the Dominican theologian John Cavalcoli few days after the release critical article by Mons. Antonio Love. We publish it only now because for a week Father Ariel S. Levi Gualdo was committed to preaching spiritual exercises to the clergy, while i, that in those days I was with him to assist him, I could in turn provide. Completed that commitment, we discussed various topics related to Christianity and Islam after the terrorist attacks in Paris. This is the reason why we published this article-written response on November 11, with several days of delay.

ISLAM AND THE Christological mystery: CHRIST HAS PROMISED THAT THE GATES OF HELL SHALL CONTROL NOT ON THE CHURCH, He NOT SAID THAT will not collapse EUROPE

.
Always remains true that the promise of Christ portae hell not praevalebunt. But Christ did not say that Europe will not collapse, but that will not be destroyed the Church. They are not the same thing. Today, Europe is likely to present Islam the framework of a civilization in cultural and moral decay, that, He is having forgotten its Christian roots and the strength of wisdom greek-Roman, It is back to barbaric customs and pagan solvents, worse than before his conversion to Christ.

THE POPE VISITS BY FRANCESCO LUTHERAN AND COMMEMORATION OF THE LORD'S SUPPER

Being able to celebrate together, Catholics and Lutherans the Lord's Supper, It is certainly something beautiful and highly desirable.

The 15 November 2015, to a question on the Holy Communion on him by a lady during the informal meeting at the Evangelical Lutheran Community of Rome, Pope Francis responded: "When asked to share the Lord's Supper is not easy for me to answer, especially in front of a theologian like Cardinal Kasper! I'm scared! I think that the Lord told us when he gave this mandate: "Do this in memory of me". And when we share the Lord's Supper, remember and imitate, we do the same thing that made the Lord Jesus. And the Lord's Supper will be, the final banquet in New Jerusalem there will be, but this will be the last. Instead the path, I wonder - and I do not know how to respond, but his request I make my - I wonder: share the Lord's Supper is the end of a journey or is the encouragement to walk together? I leave the question to the theologians, those who understand ".

15.11.2015, Pope Francis to visit the Evangelical Lutheran Community of Rome. Clicking on the image you can open the video footage of the Vatican Television Center

The Holy Father visited the 15 Last November the Evangelical Lutheran Community of Rome [see video, WHO] and he mentioned the significance for Christians of ritual commemoration of the Last Supper, urging those present to a deepening and clarification of the Lord's words pronounced on the bread and wine, and formulating the hope that one day all Christians, overcome the current divisions, can, on the basis of existing common values, from Baptism, remember and live in perfect and full communion among themselves this key event in the life of Christ and consequently of our salvation.

Being an ecumenical encounter occasional and informal, Pope obviously has not even mentioned the Catholic dogma of the Eucharist, about which they are still ongoing discussion, negotiation and ecumenical officers of experts, in which the Pope did not want to go. He merely noted that we Catholics agree with the Lutherans to recognize that when the minister of the church service repeats the Lord's words over the bread and wine narrated in the Gospels, The faith of all Christians is that Jesus Christ is really present in the glorious celebrating community with the offer of his grace.

This truth of faith shared by all, He has made it clear the Pope, is one of the bases of dialogue and debate that, under the assistance of the Holy Spirit, in sincere charity and a spirit of reconciliation in diversity, It should lead to the unity of eschatological one flock and one shepherd.

The speech of the Holy Father at the Evangelical Lutheran

As we all know, Luther, opposing the dogmatic interpretation of the traditional Church, denied that Christ, after the words' this is my body ", meant that this, he had in his hands was no more bread, although it maintained the appearance of bread, but it was just really, and substantially His body. Luther believed that this was a false interpretation and that until then the Church was wrong. Because of this, he thought he had found the truth, interpreting the words of Christ in the sense that he would be present in the bread, as if he had said: "I am in this bread", thus formulating the concept of presence "in-with-and-under the species of bread and wine ". However, this does not correspond at all to what really and literally said Jesus.

Memorial holy and living

Even Jesus, with the word "this» Even Jesus, with the word "this" [this, in Greek (the οὗτος, she, this, "this"), which corresponds to the Latin hoc], he meant to say "this bread", because it is a neutral, namely 'this thing', "This substance" in a generic sense, so that it can refer either jointly or with bread and body, because it is the moment in which the bread is the body transustanziando. The other part, it is impossible that Jesus meant to say: "This bread is my body ', because it would be an absurdity: nothing can be a thing and simultaneously be another thing. Everything has its own identity and excludes all other than her. Instead Luther seemed absurd that the bread should repent in the substance of Christ's body keeping accidents or form or "species" own bread. Indeed, he paid no attention to the fact that among the accidents and substance of created there is a real distinction, and therefore a principle of separability, whereby, although in fact in nature it never happens that there are accidents without their substance or a substance without its accidents, if he had kept in mind the above-mentioned separability, would have no difficulty he remains faithful to dogma and he would have realized that it was not the Church to err, but it was him.

Mass of the Holy Father Francis

Now, Ecumenism is certainly looking what we Catholics have in common with the Lutherans. However, Catholics can not be satisfied and stop, as mistakenly believes Rahner [1], the findings of the Truth, albeit beautiful and consoling, resulting from or arising out of the ecumenical agreement, almost that with what our duties to the Lutheran brothers and their love for Christ and for us until finished, as if there was nothing else to do for us Catholics and the unit was already achieved, ma, on the basis of common values, we Catholics have to find them and to their service, life, times, places, the ways and methods charitable, cautious, lowly, fermi, persevering, patients, persuasive, to lead them and prepare them to gradually regain lost truths and among these is the right interpretation of the institution of the Eucharist and the Priesthood, and then that of the Mass at the Last Supper by the Lord.

Mass of the Holy Father Francis

Being able to celebrate together, Catholics and Lutherans the Lord's Supper, It is certainly something beautiful and highly desirable. But if for now we do not agree on what does and says the president or minister of the assembly, and what Christ does happen in that moment, what sense can have an assembly as what some call with severe lightness "intercommunion"? Which communion where there is division? Let us unite where we can be united, that is where we have the same faith. If one believes what the other believes false true, and vice versa, that sense may have come together on a similar basis? You can do communion on a given thing, when we accuse each other of being the fake precisely rifermento that thing, ie on the basis of the disagreement on what is the truth of faith in the game or on the meaning of Christ's words? Let us agree now to where you can do it. We do not force things. Expect more, It would be fiction or comedy, in the end, offensive of the Christ, we all love. Let's get used to wait, while we operate the can. "Sopportiamoci one another in love" [cf. Ef 4,2].

Journeying through the paths of the Spirit …

Not precorriamo times, we advance where the path opens, in "reconciled diversity", in testimony and in the search for truth, in that degree of communion, that for now we are not allowed, In respect, in forgiveness and mutual correction, giving us the works of justice and charity, particular attention to the poor, to the needy and suffering, without stagnation, but without haste, without illusions, but without losing heart, devoted to prayer and asking light to the Word of God.
These are tips, stimuli and ideas that come to us or we can come from the words of the Holy Father. Welcome them with confidence, and let them earn, open to the promptings of the Holy Spirit unpredictable and invigorating.
