Synod 2

Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, October 2014

Ithe recent Synod of Bishops, as is known, has developed proposals regarding pastoral values ​​and problems of the family to be in the future with the decisions of the Pope. These proposals are contained in the final document of the 18 last October. They contain undoubtedly confirm the Catholic conception of the family, praise and encouragement to families who live honestly, a holy and sometimes heroically their vocation, among risk, labors, sufferings and dangers, overcoming obstacles and overcoming, with God's help, trials of various kinds.

Gay couples-English-with-children-parents-on-cer-L-1

There is also talk of other forms of relationship or man-woman civil Union or extraconiugali and even same-sex unions, with the intent to track or recover even here the values, of the possibility of ransom, elevation and improvement, to understand or excuse insuperable difficulties, to prepare for them a way of life suited to their, enabling them to contribute to the good of society and the Church, assicurando also for the possibility of salvation, since, as is known, God wants everyone to be saved and gives everyone the chance, even to those who can not or do not want no fault of their own but bona fide access to the sacraments.

Archbishop Primate of Poland

The Primate of Poland, Cardinale Stanislaw Gądecki

The examination of these proposals however, to an eye, reveals that there is a serious gap, which was highlighted the day 14 October in relation to the "relationship Erdo" by Cardinal Stanislaw Gądecki, Primate of Poland, which was to observe: "During today's debate has raised the fact that the teaching of the document has completely omitted the topic of sin. As if he had won the worldly view and everything was imperfection to perfection ".

papa 3

The Holy Father Francis

Dad, in his speech made at the Synod the 18 following, He collected this wise observation and remembered:

"The tentazion gooders destructive, that in the name of mercy ingannatrithis, Band wounds and treat them without first medicate him; that is the symptoms and not the causes and roots. It is tempting of the “gooders”, fearful of and also the so-called “liberals and libertarians”, the temptation to turn the stone into bread to break a long fast, heavy and painful [cf. LC 4,1-4]».

Perhaps the Pope could say the exact phrase: “modernists”.

What do these words mean the Pope? A principle that should be obvious to all the good shepherds, namely that it is necessary first to understand some sinner in his weaknesses and encourage him to develop his good qualities, in accordance with the comforting words of the Divine Master: “Do not break the barrel cracked or turn off a smoldering wick” [Mt 12,20]. But this is not an end in itself, but then need to take away the sin of the chest and face and correct the defect. Likewise, a good doctor, when faced with a patient, undoubtedly consider what are its resources healthy, but in order to see how to use them to defeat the evil.

Monica Bellucci in Maddalema

Monica Bellucci plays Mary Magdalene in the film The Passion Mel Gibson

Ithe remediesor to this irresponsible laxity or perhaps even intellectual rigidity and backward rigor are not guilty of those who yield, as expressed by the Pope, to the temptation of”stiffening hostile”, and that called “traditionalists”, where it is not difficult to recognize the nostalgia of the educational methods of the pre-council, as if the past fifty years the ministry of sexuality inspired by the Council had not made any progress. No attack, evidently, tradition as such, but a way of conceiving, that opposes the conciliar reform.

These “traditionalists” narrow-minded and cold-hearted, under the pretext of defense of the dogma of the absolute values ​​and, they neglect, in terms of concrete guide of souls, attention to the good that is without sin, but the sinner and the need to keep his pace as his mother walking slowly to accompany the little steps of her baby. Real teachers know what they are gradual paths of perfection and freedom from vice and sin.

We elders remember how was good training weather and the confessional before the Second Vatican Council inconfessional the field of sex and sins without being modernists do not miss at all. There was such a habit that the confessor accused of mortal sin easily a penitent for a small act involuntary and unconscious, made without malice and at the urging of a sudden impulse. Young people today they take with the Council might not know how things were before. With this, of course I'm a thousand miles away from approving the excesses and debauchery opposite today, that you would like to submit under the auspices of “emotional maturity”, the progressive, freedom and mercy.

The Holy Father, for its part, in the same discourse, has shown the right way to be a wise contemperanza of justice and mercy, promotion and correction, firmness and flexibility, compliance with the principles and attention to individual cases, all in a great love for people and the Church, with dedication, theological and spirit of service.

sins differentiated

“waste sorting”

Returning, however, to the synod, it seems instead that these good bishops with their speeches gooders and peace, have no experience of the confessional. If a penitent to tell me that he has committed adultery, or who is in love with another woman, or going to prostitutes, or has an affair, or living with another woman, or who is a divorced and remarried, or who is a homosexual, I listen sympathetically and try to understand their situation and their difficulties, I try to make him aware of how these relationships can be positive and encourage them in this direction, but it is clear that my duty as a physician of souls will then be to make the penitent clearly conscious of his or illegally, or the state of sin in which there is, or at least that what he does is not good and it is a too bad, mortal or venial it, from which it must free itself. Well I'll have to warn him of the consequences of the tragic and divine punishment, which meets, failure to correct, as well as the physician feels a patient heart that if you do not care, the'll infarction. Otherwise, which are medical? Now, where in the document the bishops of these warnings and these considerations? They seem to say to all: “Keep calm, have respect for one of the choices of others, keep it up and you'll see that everything will be fine”.

sugary

Sugar aids digestion

If a document of this kind, if you want to be really serious, pastoral and educational, such as to make the good of souls, and not only distribute sugar and give the appearance of being acquiescent to evil, will have to fine, to praise and promote positive, add and clarify with seriousness and care what pastors need to do to correct the sinners what sinners must do to solve their problems, free from difficulty, exit from irregular situations from their sin and heal.

About this again, Also in the final document of the 18 last October, there is no word or at least the subject is too small, generic and therefore insufficient. You may ask why our bishops is not thought to add the above directions, always given by all the good shepherds. Is it possible that the modernist gooders have them so mesmerized? It seems that we are all in the Edenic state and that there are no consequences of original sin.

consciousness

Those depths of the human conscience that God alone can penetrate and read

From here the right and serious observations not only of the Pope and Cardinal Gądecki, or other cardinals and theologians, but of all those, even ordinary Christians and the same families, that they have joined, which are concerned for the good of all and of the whole Church. Of course many of these people deviant, who see the truth and are not stubborn and hardened in sin, but feel uneasy conscience and a desire to be at peace with God and with the Church, are available in a variety of ways to hear a word of paternal correction, showing them the way of redemption and liberation. Some will need to be shocked with a certain energy to awake out of sleep and be made aware of their responsibilities and of the serious risks they face. Since other people have to look as dangerous. For other will not be nothing to do but pray that they convert.

open doors

The open doors of the Church

It is true that the Church does not exclude anyone; but the fact is that these are the unhappyRO to not wanting to belong to the Church or to belong or if they say they have a false concept of the Church or are essI stthey fakes and hypocrites, they do not really want to serve the Church, but use it for their own interests. And if the averagewe do not speak, do not intervene, are just watching, are not diagnostic, and especially do not care, What will become of the sick? Or if you flatter minimizing their ills, how can they heal? Or if you do not show them their evil, these patients can not possibly come to think that it is not a bad thing but a good?

soluble coffee

… marriages as soluble coffee

This approach of Bishops could help someone in the idea that then in the end, dissoluble or indissoluble marriage, conjugal chastity or contraception, premarital or marital relationships, marital or extra-marital affair, Sacramento convivenza, monogamous or poligamia, heterosexuality or homosexuality are not much alternatives respectively between fair dealing and good-evil-sin, but are simply different choices, remittances to the discretion of each. It also comes the disturbing suspicion that the bishops, facile to such blandishments, are intimidated by the pressures or threats veiled or open to the powers that be, we can imagine what might be and who want to give up the Church by his loyalty to his moral principles, why accept the highest in the world.

Father Pio

St. Pio of Pietrelcina spent hours and hours listening to the confessions

If this is the case, you may be wondering then, against the other, what is the meaning of the sacrament of confession. What you going to tell the priest? And in fact we confessors we are realizing that the climate is being created: often those who come into the confessional has no sins of which to accuse, but it makes a list of good deeds by ensuring the confessor to do everything we can to be a good Christian. Just at that sacred place, where more than ever the faithful should exercise “with fear and trembling” [Fil 2,12] humility, without vain self-justifications, accusing you of sin and take advantage of God's mercy, right there it's up to us with disgust confessors to hear the unholy and self-righteous arrogance of one who proclaims good and innocent maybe blaming others. And if we venture to remind them what it admits, get offended as if we had the audacity to accuse an innocent man and bring you to accuse us of malice. The tragic fact is that the concept of sin as sin to take off, that is, as an act of bad conscious and free, is becoming rare, because no longer measured on an objective standard, absolute, transcendent and dependent on God's will, Whom we have to do, but each one is built as a moral code for license, according to their own comfortable, influenced perhaps by some divine fashion, not reprimanded by the ecclesiastical. God becomes simply a notary kind of everything that comes to mind. Because of this, the so-called “penitent” - I should say “grade” O “braggart” - Has no sin to be reported, which to repent and ask God's forgiveness. It trades on the occasion of the confessional talk freely of the most diverse, from gossip to serious matters, but that has nothing to do with the needs and hence the validity of the sacrament. Often it is the penitent who has their own, well established by an obvious bad habit, wrong idea of ​​confession and try to correct it if the confessor, good penitent suffers as if it was the confessor to be an incompetent or cruel person, which creates problems that do not exist and “can not give a good word”. But then, in these conditions, the confessor to what should fulfill? That fixes, reprimands or reminders can? What warnings? What advice,? What exhortations? What commands? It seems that the so-called penitents do not expect to recover from an illness, but to be approved in its conduct and praised for his good health. E’ evident in the very high risk that they lack the conditions for a true penitent confession. Great but here is the responsibility of the confessor, you get used to hurt the faithful, and that violates a sacred duty to remember the penitent what is the real way to confess.

How then are still valid for us priests and our bishops to the words of his beloved Timothy: "Preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, do warn, reproaches, exhorts with all magnanimity and doctrine. The day will come, indeed, when they will not endure sound doctrine;, ma, having itching ears they, will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, refusing to listen to the truth, to turn aside to myths " [II Tm 4, 2-4]. They are the present day.

good shepherd

the Good Shepherd

So the good pastor must not only stimulate a love of virtue, but hate the sin and vice. There are some pastors do-gooders who always speak of sdolcinatamente “love” in season and out, and it seems to them that the mention of “hate” both unreasonable and contrary to charity. It's a very serious misconception. Already St. Catherine of Siena, which the charity can not be doubted, end psychologist, woman of good sense and a witness of that which is the most basic conviction of the moral conscience natural, he said: “The more you love the good, the more you hate evil”. And note well: Evil, not the evil, which in itself is a creature, save for which Christ gave his blood. But for the sake of the sinner must hate the sin and the sinner must be encouraged and assisted to abandon, as it is for the sake of the patient that the doctor is fighting the disease.
Not enough then the pastor and educator praises of the good, if he does not create in the disciple strong and determined opposition to sin, showing all its ugliness and hideousness; and especially if you did not indicate what is the way to correct, on pain of eternal damnation; otherwise end up creating double personality, spineless, opportunists and schizophrenics, yes who appreciate the good moderately, for convenience, ma, always for convenience, do not reject even the bad, seeing it not as a thing prohibited, but just different, useful on occasion, so as to keep it so to speak “in reserve” and put it about the same as well and in the company of good. Here lies some false form of pluralism and respect for other people's choices, which results nell'astensionismo of those looking only to their own interests does not care about the evils and misfortunes of others under the guise of them free.

It should be, At that time, more root, remember what is sin. We confessors we experience in the practice of the confessional as often those who confess not know confess, because they misunderstand the sin or do not know what it is or denies having committed sins, so that often the first approach to the penitent require prior patient reflections on Confession, only at the end of which the penitent is able to say that sins made. It happens that at first the penitent be surprised, you irritate or do not understand, as if he heard strange things and never heard; but with patience and charity the confessor, perhaps after a long introductory interview, can lead to conditions to make a good confession. How are the catechesis premarital, so are useful introductory catechesis for the sacrament of confession, maybe even penitents of sixty or seventy years, “Catholics” fin noduvenu, abituati ma male.

shirtAdd to this the particular difficulties of sins in sex, where there is not only a passion to win often, explosion, insidious and very attractive, often orpellata of glittering colors, but higher up it should be borne in mind that sexual sin is not at first appearance of evil, but on the contrary seems to be a good and a matter of course: an act related to life, to youth, to pleasure, all’amore, to beauty, how can it be bad, a bad action? It is therefore necessary to show the reality beyond appearances, to reason and explain why it's a shame, Giacchè, as is known, sexual ethics is essentially dictated by natural law, before being precept of the Gospel and the Church. Because of this, only that the subject is influenced by ideas fenomeniste, emotionalists, existentialist, empiricist, Freudian, or hedonistic or falsely mystical irrationalism, widespread today, will make a huge effort to understand the motives and reasons of sexual ethics. So the bishops should correct these ideas. But what do they do?

The bishops then they should remember because all the sexual deviations and sins are sins against the family, and finally, as it is always used in the educational tradition or Catholic pastoral, Keep in mind at least the main means natural and supernatural, to avoid sin, not excluding the effective help, that can come from a healthy fear of God. However, it is too common a false conception of divine mercy, for which everyone could easily follow their own desires in the illusory safety to save, presumption of origin Lutheran rightly at the time condemned by the Council of Trent.

Military Working Dogs

German Shepherd angry …

Apart from the shepherds do-gooders dealing harshly and scare the few good, but are shy, the shepherds of today refrain from too much reproach and correction. I fully agree with the famous saying of the great spiritual leader who was St. Francis de Sales: “to correct the sinner is better than a teaspoon of honey than a barrel of vinegar”; However, the great teacher, I think, will agree with me even if I tip her saying in this regard: “it is rather a teaspoon of bitter medicine, given with love, a thousand sweet words but flattering, Lascano that the patient in terms of patient, perhaps giving the illusion of feeling good and being just a “different”.

The bishops speak appropriately of “wounded families”. Ora but, where there is a wounded, there is usually also the assailant. E’ right, therefore, to have compassion and mercy for the wounded, but for the assailant or the assailant should be against justice and perhaps severity. There is talk of “challenges” the family; Accord to, but remember that in the moral challenger is a sinner who wants to lead us to sin.

There is talk of “suffering” e “injustices suffered”. All right, but remember the sin of those who make others suffer or commit injustice. If a poor wife suffers because her husband has betrayed her, this is because her husband has sinned against you. Mercy toward his wife, but justice to her husband. So no need to take into account of all these things?

puritani

“In Puritani” famous opera by Vincenzo Bellini

One gets the impression that the bishops, as they approach their Discorso to youbut of sin, they stop in a kind of puritan restraint. That's not good. It is here that there is a shortage, that borders on hypocrisy or fear to touch the powerful. What a mercy it is that which does not defend the weak against bullies, but considers these merely “different”, free to continue their lives? It would not be, this, a terrible insult to the poor oppressed and persecuted? Criminal penalties are still used in the Church. The problem is to use them with justice. If you do use the modernists and the do-gooders, every man for himself.

We hope that the bishops' document, rich with many ideas and encouraging positive, however, is supplemented by these notes and from these warnings. Otherwise it will be up to the Holy Father make the appropriate changes, in order to ensure in this synod the real achievement of its order to further increase cum Petro and Sub Petro family values, and to address and resolve issues related to it.

Pope speaks to the Synod

Speech by the Holy Father to the Synod

It is remarkable that in commenting on the climate of the discussions at the synod in a recent speech the Holy Father had reassuring words against excessive alarmism, hinting at the beginning of his speech, as a normal thing in these circumstances, and with even tone of praise, the ongoing confrontation of ideas and certain legitimate contrasting views, of ideas and opinions.

Pope serious

The Holy Father Francis

In the course of the speech the tone of the Supreme Pontiff has gone from an initial kindness to a warning seriousness, showing that if certain contrasts can be normal and constructive, others, deeper, touching the doctrine and morals, the peace and unity of the Church and obedience to the Pope, can not be approved and must be removed to take away a truly Catholic and common, despite the diversity and plurality of opinions and legitimate pastoral choices, but in the light of Christ and in accordance with the teachings of the Church. The Holy Father Francis is listed first in the streets do not follow and then, in the end, showed the right way.

Pope's speech 2

The Holy Father during his inaugural speech

The wrong ways seem to be reduced to two, each with a multiplicity of aspects, that, a leg vedere, together constitute a unilateral choice, we could say partial, ideological and extremist, of one side of the truth against the other, rather than tune it and temper it with each other in a wise and necessary synthesis, that captures the totality of the true and the good, so that one side, isolated, absolute and opposed to the other, itself becomes false and destructive, and one that should be balanced mutual complementarity, becomes hostility and mutual exclusion.

Christ with hand on face

Image of Christ with hand on face

It is not difficult to recognize in the description of the Holy Father two parties that especially since the immediate post-Council contend so fierce, conceited and obstinate a privilege which in reality they don't have, but it is only the Successor of Peter, which is to be supremely and exclusively true faith, the true Catholicism and the true Church.
The opposition between these two parties can be represented simply as a contrast between the too indulgent and too demanding. The Pope uses an image evangelical extremely effective: the temptation to turn the stone into bread to break a long-fasting, heavy and painful [cf. LC 4,1-4] and also to turn the stone into bread and throw it against the sinners, the weak and the sick [cf. GV 8,7] ie to turn it into “unbearable burdens” [LC 10, 27].

candies

a heart filled … candy

On one hand, so here's "The temptation of doing good destructive”, that in the name of mercy deceptive bind up the wounds and cure them without first medicarle; that treats the symptoms and not the causes and roots. It is the temptation of “gooders”, fearful of and also the so-called “liberals and libertarians”. The temptation to come down from the cross, to please people, and not to stay, to fulfill the will of the Father; to bow to worldly spirit instead of purifying and bend to God's Spirit. … The temptation to neglect the deposit of credit, but do not consider themselves guardians of the owners and masters”. E’ clear allusion to the modernists and rahneriani.

closure

The truth can not be an old rusty door barred …

On the other, "The temptation of stiffening hostile, that is, the desire to close in the written, the letter, not be surprised by God, the God of surprises, the spirit; within the law, in the certainty of what we know and what we still need to learn and achieve. From the time of Jesus, is the temptation of the zealots, of the scrupulous, thoughtful and of so-called — today — traditionalists and also of intellectualists. The temptation to ignore the reality of using a language and a language of meticulous sanding so many things to say and do not say anything! They called them Byzantine, I believe, these things…”. Instead, here the reference to Monsignor Lefèbvre and its followers.

Middle of the road

That healthy “Middle of the road”, but that is not compromised balance …

The Holy Father proposed as a straight path to follow a via media, summarizing and harmoniously combines the values ​​in the two factions, unnaturally they separate and opposing, excluding the extremes: Tradition and Scripture, continuity and progress, preservation of the necessary: what remains, and change in contingent: what passes; mercy and justice, firmness and flexibility, unity and pluralism, openness to new, and loyalty to one's identity, doctrine and pastoral, freedom and obedience, historicity of man and immutability of dogma.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Movie poster The Sorcerer's Apprentice

The line that is growing among the synod fathers, we can therefore say that it is, as might be expected, confirmation of the traditional doctrine of the unchanging Gospel and the Church, that certainly will be confirmed at the time in the words of the Holy Father, although we can imagine or hope that the Church will find new applications of the law in accordance with the requirements, prospects and to the needs of the families of our time.
From the comments critical of the Pope However, you can not not take action or not take notice of the synod of a dark shadow of hostility to the bright prospects emerging evangelical, which are the subject of the records and the encouragement of the Pope. It deals with, in my opinion, suggestion of the dark, charmer and left rahnerismo, that fifty years from now hovers in the Church, ammorbandone now subtly and insidiously the atmosphere, one kind of smog that makes the air unhealthy.

Il Teologo Gesuiti Karl Rahner s.j.

The rahnerismo is a problem still unsolved, despite repeated reports of illustrious and wise pastors and scholars, including several cardinals, over the past fifty years. The evidence of the heresies of Rahner, the great sorcerer's apprentice, emerged in this long period of investigation, have long been publicly available to verify or look objective and dispassionate.
For this you do not understand why should persist an undeserved reputation, that just makes the damage to the Church, and has repercussions disastrous in the field of moral, the pastoral care of Catholics and costume. This reputation has all the appearance of a reputation is not authentic, that is based on a true science, but artificially constructed by dark powers, who work objectively for the destruction of the Church.
A disturbing sign of this is given by the ideas that are appearing between the Synod Fathers, ideas by the Pope rightly try again, and which had already been criticized by the now famous group of cardinals, who recently published a book: Remain in the truth of Christ [see who] in which, professing their fidelity to the Magisterium of the Church, recalled the fundamental values ​​and essential household, expressing the belief that the church, applying justice and mercy, should maintain the current law regarding the treatment of irregular.

Karl Rahner fuma 2

il padre Karl Rahner S. J.

The obstacle to solving the problem is still persistent Rahner are serious prejudice and illusion, last MORI, that Rahner was a theological genius far superior to San Tommaso Aquino, a bold explorer of the depths of the Christian mystery and then the discoverer of a theology much more advanced, consistent with the spirit of Vatican II, theology that would work out a new vision of faith, Catholicism and church, suited to modern culture, using the resources of modern philosophy from Descartes to Heidegger. However, vero ad onor, is not too difficult, for those who know history dShe theology, recognize in huge projects and enterprise rahneriani, acts to impress the gullible with a prodigious production journalism, that touches all aspects of the Christian life, a gigantic as well as astute and impudent re-proposal of modernism already condemned by Saint Pius X at the time.

It should also be alert to recognize that the heresies of Rahner, First, we must clearly from a scoreboard in turn free from rahnerismo, unfortunately rare thing today, because now Rahner almost everywhere you purchased the fame of the great if not the sole and undisputed master of our tEmpo. Criticize Rahner seems to many an expression of a petty mind, resenting, closed and outdated, almost not even take into account. For others it seems shocking thing, intolerable and almost sacrilegious, or deserving of contempt or severe measures.

They accuse critics of Rahner's ignorance, while the real ignorant are rahneriani, that you are not bothered to personally deal with his difficult texts, and perhaps speak of Rahner hearsay or have some leggiucchiato his pious mystical elevation in an anthology of spirituality or one of those explanatory presentations of modern theology, so superficial as naive do-gooders. Those who like the undersigned has read all the works of Rahner during 30 years of studies and consultations with experts, familiar with the cunning of this man who always deftly mixes the real and fake and sweet poison propina not everything at once in a single work — you find immediately! —, but in small doses scattered in various books, it is only by connecting them to each other that you have the true and complete picture of imposture, a powder’ as the diligent investigator in the criminal investigation comes into possession of evidence only neatly putting together the scattered details, that, taken individually, seem insignificant.

Cop_IlConcilioTradito

The work of John Cavalcoli on Karl Rahner, the result of thirty years of scientific work: Karl Rahner betrayed the Council

To understand, therefore, Rahner, then it is clear that not just the material fact of having read it for thirty years, then if you proceed with partiality, fanatical subjection or eyes lined with prosciutto. Even many of his followers have spent a lifetime around their tutelary deity. To understand who is Rahner, the following conditions moral and theoretical: exclusive and selfless love for the truth, rectitude of intention, modesty in formulating interpretative hypotheses, acceptance of the positive aspects, honesty, prudence and humility intellectual, interest in the salvation of souls, possession of a good philosophy and theology (S.Tommaso d’Aquino and his school) and absolute respect for the Church's magisterium.
At the risk of going through a papal, I dare say that the last condition is the decisive one, and that includes all the others. E’ here that the rub rahneriano, as the rahneriani want to give to understand, scrambling, that their darling reflects the teachings of the Church and the Second Vatican Council.

There is, however, to rely on the criticism made by Rahner lefevriani, either because they do not know how to recognize the good sides of the theologian and is why, if they identify some of his heresy, accused of heresy and the Council, thus demonstrating that you have seriously misunderstood, because they think the Council would suffer the heresies of Rahner.
The fact is that the most outspoken and defiant rahneriani, who know that it is untenable thesis of fidelity to the Magisterium of Rahner, so they do not scruple to follow the style of their master with impudence and threatening tone, similar to those of Luther, accuses the Church, also to reconcile, to be retracted and intimate to update and welcome to his early theology, if you do not want to stay on the edge of the historical evolution of human progress.

karl rahner 4

… Rahner, if necessary can emerge as a sinister shadow

From official reports and authoritative comments, that we hear about what you are saying to the synod and the same aforementioned words of the Pope, it is evident that between the synod fathers is emerging from the shadow left Rahner, with its peculiar vision of man and moral: every man is in God's grace, tends to Dio, is in communion with God, so it is good and you save. God has mercy on everyone and not punish anyone. The sin, act as a single categorical and has no particular importance, however, because it is canceled by the inevitable presence of grace - at the same time just and sinner — and all the fundamental option exists for at least atematica and transcendental God. Human acts or particular dogmatic concepts are uncertain things, changeable and relative, that have no importance. The important thing is the pre-conceptual experience of faith - the’ “encounter with Christ” —, they all have, even non-Catholics and atheists.

So this is not to condemn errors or sins, but simply to promote what is positive in all (“scaling principle”). The distinction between licit or illicit unions of couples, regular or irregular does not matter. The fact is that we are all still journeying towards God, we know or do not know (“anonymous Christianity”). There is no contrast or a prohibited, but only the different, which therefore must be respected; then you should not be condemned as evil or false what is simply different.

We need not doubt that the Pope will follow this movement of ideas at the right time and the correct, as has already begun to make. But it still remains the basic problem that, until it's resolved, the hurt and distress will rise again for the whole Church, as an undigested food remains in the stomach. Until it is expelled, the torment remains.

For this, we are disconcerted when we hear the improvident little nun who climbs on straws in an attempt to answer the interviewer of Future, as to other interviewers, about his desire to “Christianize” something objectively blasphemous, therefore in itself and of itself diabolic [see who].

The song of this satanassa Italian American that the little nun has chosen to interpret is a very particular song: Like a Virgin, like a virgin, willfully ignorant that virgins to which the good people of God pours out affection and veneration, including lukewarm Catholics and those seconded from the life of the Church, they are extraordinary figures such as Lucia of Syracuse or Agata of Catania, just to stay in the Sicilian area of ​​origin of Sister Cristina. And neither Lucy nor Agata would have been glad to be accompanied in the blood of their martyrdom with the words of the song Like a virgin, launched by a brilliant businesswoman herself as Ms. Ciccone, in the eighties begins his career provOcando the audience with his own name of art, seen that universally, by believers and non-believers, Mary is identified with Mary of Nazareth. And for us who believe the Virgin Mary is the Mother of God, fMaybe it's good to remember it not so much nun butterfly, but to his Superior General, perhaps most of his young butterfly professes, seen that behind the bad pupils are always there and the penalty of bad teachers.

To understand Sister Cristina, trained in Sicily and became a nun in the Ursulines of the Holy Family, one must enter the very complex ecclesial world of this island, where there are ancient churches of apostolic foundation or personally visited by the Apostle Paul, such as the glorious Church of Syracuse, built for the Prince of the Apostles after that of Antioch: Ecclesia Syracusana First Divi Petri Et Filia First Post Antiochenam, Christ Annual [The Church of Syracuse is the first daughter of St. Peter and the second after the Church of Antioch, dedicated to Christ].

With a brief sua epigraph, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa in his Gattopardo summarizes the status and psychology of an entire society: "If we want everything to remain as it is, everything must change!».

And after four decades of devastation here finally comes to the supreme coup the army of those that Leonardo Sciascia used to define as men, the mezz'uomini, him ... but let's get straight to enunciate Sciascia his mythical classification, without inducing a priest to get dirty too much mouth:

"I have a certain experience of the world; and we say that humanity, and fill our mouths to say humanity, nice word full of wind, divide into five categories: the men, the mezz'uomini, the ominicchi, i (respectfully speaking) take a look and the quaquaraquà… Very few men; the few mezz'uomini, for I be content humanity stop with mezz'uomini ... But no, falls down even more, to ominicchi: who are like children who think they are great, monkeys that make the same moves of the big ... And even more down: the pigliainculo, ranging becoming an army ... And finally the quaquaraquà: that they should live like ducks in the puddles, because their life has no meaning and expression of that most of the ducks ... She, even if I grind to a halt on these cards as a Christ, she is a man ... "

This is the social environment, ecclesial and ecclesiastical, in which was born, grows, studied and form Cristina Scuccia, cream the confiscation, in Ragusa, in the beautiful areas of South Eastern Sicily, then moved as a nun in Milan. Whoever therefore believes that the problem is Sister Cristina, wrong. The problem is a particular church no longer able to express a proper sense, thinking and living Catholic; not that happy about this eliminates the root as a problem or as a real attack of treason everything that is to live a Catholic, Catholic thought and Catholic theological thinking, with all the logic and consistent pastorality that from this it follows.

Sister Cristina is therefore a natural result the culture of ocelots, the natural result of generations of priests who have confused with heresies modernist modernity; who for four decades have now ignored the theology of the great Fathers of the Church and who thanks to the poisonous school of certain masters answer you that they have never studied the metaphysics of St. Thomas Aquinas because during the first lessons at the theological studio they explained to him which is now outdated, finally reaching the priesthood after having been trained on texts by non-Catholic theologians from the German area and after having been peppered with Hegelianism in the course of philosophical and theological studies sometimes reduced to a painful farce, where are offered as unique and especially indisputable reference points - in addition to two Hegel e Rahner —, authors such as Schillebeeckx, Teilhard of Chardin, Cox, Heidegger, Schleiermacher, Kierkegaard, Barth, Bohnöffer, Bultmann, Moltmann, Cullman, Luther, Loisy, Freud, Descartes, Side, Gentile …

The problem of Sister Cristina is much more complesso, if analyzed from a socio-andSicilian church and using two literary geniuses as pertinent reading yardstick: Tomasi di Lampedusa and Sciascia. Therefore we must point out - which I point out to the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life - that Sister Cristina belongs to a religious congregation for which the Holy See should perhaps proceed as soon as possible with an adequate Apostolic Visitation, if its competent bodies were not too busy with other congregations, that in spite of some of their internal problems, in any case they always sang praises to God and to Our Lady Mother of God, not to the Madonna-Ciccone.

Madonna during one of his live performances blasphemous

The same withgregazione of nuns, in the heart of the Greek city of Syracuse he has found nothing better to do than changing their two former houses of formation in hotels, even in a Beauty Farm [see who], managed directly from sisters now transformed by consecrated virgins in entrepreneurs, devoid of life and common sense of religious life. A luxurious one beauty farm four-star and goes in disguise at the administrative level by “home Ferie” to which was given the name "House of Mary", with a spirit no less blasphemous than that of their younger sister who sings a hymn irreverent two-way virginity launchesed by a singer who has renamed Madonna in blatant contempt of Mater Dei.

Sister Cristina is only the visible tip of a state of degradation and decadence of the religious life of this congregation for which appropriate measures are urgently needed. On the one hand, we have in fact the Ursulines of the Holy Family housing in their luxurious and expensive beauty farm of the rich seventy-year-olds who go to relax with their beloved granddaughter of 25 year old, without any pious nun dreams certainly ask him the marriage certificate, or to deny such a lovely couple a double room; the other the emblem of the new generation of their sisters who sings the songs of the well-known pop star Madonna Satanassa, instead of shelling holy rosary of the Blessed repair Virgin Mary. Experience and priestly sensitivity teach me that this nun is not destined to remain in religious life and that she will eventually be engulfed by the entertainment world, to have contact with which a presbyter, a man and woman religious must have a maturity and a solidity of faith which protects them from certain dangers. I hope and hope that Sister Cristina does not end up like Sister Sorriso [crf. who] and that you return serenely to secular life, as it will be in the more or less near future.

[…] The world synod, for its part, has assumed a tone of doctrine that in reality is not its responsibility, given that there is not even an assembly reconcile, and the Popes have started a little dignity to do the taillights of the synods, with limited to validate and establish their conclusions, even if they do not say anything new from the point of view of doctrine nor could.

According to Rahner, the task of the Bishop It is to take note of the real "faith" or "effective" expressed by the people of God, as thematic or categorical expression and "aposteriorica" ​​of faith athematic transcendental and "priori", which is common to all men ("Supernatural existential") and then to non-Catholics and atheists themselves Explicit, from which the famous rahneriano concept of the "anonymous Christian" everywhere and always in grace, why all are saved and the damned in hell do not exist (gooders transcendental).

The bishop, according to Rahner, must strive to understand how can such faith and interpret it correctly, must approve and support, must then follow it as it evolves and nelle its historical expressions, dictated by the Holy Spirit, should translate into doctrinal faith, ufficial and institutional. But it is clear that the primacy is always for the existential faith of ordinary Christians with the common baptismal priesthood, infallible listening direct interpretation of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, though the dogmatic concepts with which it is interpreted that the Word is in constant evolution and for the various culture in which express.

The Assize del Concilio Vaticano 1

seated in the First Vatican Council, stampa vintage

The Second Vatican Council, as you know, has enhanced, promoted and stimulated the activity of the laity, of the religious, priests and theologians and made from fifty years, many have been and are the various initiatives, some of which excellent, others instead, Unfortunately, - and perhaps the most numerous - influenced by anti-hierarchical conceptions and populist or demagogic Church, a certain "church from below", a certa popular church, or some "spontaneous groups or" base "of the 70s, or "charismatic movements" of the 80s. So these initiatives have taken his hand to the bishops, which, or naively seduced or intimidated in front of such intrusive, powerful and sometimes threatening effervescence, does not deprive the rest of the good sides, have come to assume certain not everyone welcomes the role outlined above by Rahner, yielding to excessive indulgence or tolerance of mistakes and bad behaviors that were spreading.

peaceful protesterThe bishops, when there are "strong with the weak", they have become like notaries who limit themselves to registering and ad ufficializzare or at least tolerate the "faith" or should I say the tales that mostly circulate among the faithful particularly the most disseminated by the mass media and educational and cultural institutions, but then they treat hard those few who, faithful to the evangelical concept of the shepherd, dare to remind them of their responsibility.
At the same time the Council has increased the autonomy of the local church against Rome and established, as we know, le whatnferenze and episcopal synods of bishops worldwide to regular deadline.

Pope francesco

Il Santo Padre Francesco during a udienza

Indeed, the Holy Father Francis He wants to make the bishops share in his doctrinal authority. This will mean then that the synod will become a kind of periodic Council fixed term and one wonders if it is not too artificial and impractical. The development of doctrine can not be programmed, but it depends on imponderables related to Divine Providence.

this institution certainly very important in itself was intended to strengthen the initiative and the pastoral responsibility of bishops individually or collectively, but unfortunately in many cases ended up creating a figure of bishop conformist and opportunist, without a universal vision of the Church, closed in his diocese or in his nation, ready to become independent from the Pope, so as not to upset their brethren the most influential or the most respected or their bishops' conference of the nationalist.

Synod of Bishops on the Family 2014

Synod of Bishops on the Family, 2014

The world synod, for its part, has assumed a tone of doctrine that in reality is not its responsibility, given that there is not even an assembly reconcile, and the Popes have started a little dignity to do the taillights of the synods, with limited to validate and establish their conclusions, even if they do not say anything new from the point of view of doctrine nor could. This is not dignified for the Pope, which must take back their power driving towards the bishops.
The most serious drawback that is followed in all, without prejudice to the positive aspects, is that it has failed collaboration between the Pope and the bishops in teaching and defense of the doctrine of the faith. Of course, this function is not at all settled and we must recognize the great zeal with which such a man as the then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was acquitted at his office at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith over twenty years, much less can we ignore the numerous interventions of the Popes and of good bishops, not excluding synods and episcopal conferences worldwide.

Game that gets out of hand

The Holy Father takes flight to a ball game that was launched during its passage in St. Peter's Square. To his right the commander of the Vatican Gendarmerie Domenico Giani

As already noted, however, for many years, careful observers, the ecclesiastical authorities at all levels, by the Pope to the individual bishops, is not at all able to control a complex situation doctrinal and consequently moral, disciplinary and liturgical, is that it got out of hand and that has become ungovernable, with serious damage of the faithful. Often the data or the data theologian bishop or as prophet or seer take the place of the Magisterium, which is either ignored or ddespised. What do the bishops? Yes, of course, are watching, but with what mind? They can be happy? no cerly. It is not a pleasant sight to watch, ma, albeit in the midst of positive facts, a process of dissolution and disintegration of the Church, process that some will stop, because the Church is unwavering. However, God does not spare the trials and gives the means to overcome them.

pastoral staff

the pastoral staff who are challenging the bishops during the sacred celebrations

The means are: necessary that the bishops with a humble and courageous leap of faith in their own charisma, resume control of the situation. At the bottom of the flock of Christ, bewildered by intriguers and rebels, can not wait. The shepherd is smitten and the sheep gone astray. But God will never miss the good shepherds? In no way!
The Catholic world has still, thank God, at least in democratic countries, numerous media, of teaching, of pastoral action, of preaching: from the pulpits to the conferences of all kinds, from the parishes to school, from print to the internet, from publishers websites, contacts with movements and associations to those with private, from conference rooms to the squares.
And the themes of possible and desirable interventions specific and exclusive jurisdiction of the bishop are numerous and urgent. I'm not even to list.

That a bishop to intervene at the party kiwi or the firework display or meeting with the Buddhists or the benefit concert can be certain sympathetic and bring the bishop to the people. However, it remains to bring people to Christ. How come the bishops feel or appear so little if only they would be the most qualified to speak? Do not just "be between people "; we need to see what is being done among the people. Why then let the laity, as competent and good will of the debate or even more the decision or judgment on matters of faith and morals where instead so important and irreplaceable, by the command of Christ Himself, is the word of the pastor?

Cardinal Kasper and idiot profit paradigm

CARDINAL KASPER AND THE PARADIGM OF THE’USEFUL IDIOT

I offer my sincere esteem to Cardinal Kasper whose theology and ecumenism I do not at all share, but whose fidelity to his idea of ​​Pietro, pushed to the point of offering himself to the public slaughter as a target practice, I appreciate, in this poor Church of ours which looks more and more like a amusement park where no one controls who enters and who exits and in which the roller coaster is now free of technical maintenance, without all this, however, erodes our assurance of faith: the gates of hell will never prevail over the Church founded on the rock of Peter, to whom Christ gave the keys of the kingdom [CF. Mt 16, 18].

After the release of the libretto by Cardinal Walter Kasper, in which the cardinal celebrates the praises of the heresiarch Luther and of Protestantism, I propose again on the columns ofPatmos Island one of the first articles written shortly after the opening of our online magazine. Perhaps it is worth mentioning that when I published and wrote about some two years ago useful nonsense, ran the 19 October 2014, as anyone can check from our archive, where all our writings are collected in order of date. I was really wrong? [ 7 June 2016 ]

USEFUL-IDIOTS-150x150

one, none or one hundred thousand?

That of "useful idiot" is not a term abusive because if it were, I would not dare use them, all the more towards a bishop like Cardinal Walter Kasper, famous theologian whose cristologia and ecclesiology we can discuss, species in this church so free, collegial and democratic in which Alberto Melloni seems only to be granted a right of thought, of speech and expression, up to go to Catholic bullshitting without restraint directly at the Masonic Lodges [cf. My previous article, who, who, who], happy to host not so much the "builders of peace" [CF. Mt 1, 5-10] that this work will be blessed Christological, but the de-builders of the Church, for this very welcome to the Masons today do not attack us more directly from outside but from inside.

.

The term of purely political "useful idiot" that nothing, I repeat, has in common with the concept of human idiocy, those loyalists who were mentioned in the countries of the West defended in all ways and at all costs the Soviet regime, even against the evidence of the facts. And of this, the true champions, were not the placid Italian communists from the sacristy, but hardened communists French and Spanish.

In the days preceding the opening of the Synod on the Family I've read many accounts of real or alleged vaticanologi, I have isolated their words by certain ecclesiastical dramas going on and I allowed myself a smile, because these characters in the immediate present paralyzed and unable to understand what heavy and ironic give feedback on them tomorrow history, are becoming more similar to ufologists discussing extraterrestrial aliens and visits to our planet, exercising their sacrosanct right to alienate the tragic ecclesial reality in corso. For the time being the only ones to get out of this chorus of flatterers by Kominform [see who] seem to be Marco Tosatti [see who] e Sandro Magister [see who].

.

In certain events that escapes is to practice the obvious: Cardinal Kasper fully deserves the loyalty bonus, because lending itself as useful idiot - and again I repeat: always within the meaning of the word used in the political sense totally flattering - is making a great service, offering to the attacks of various fringes of the Catholic world, of various theologians and not least to the objections expressed gracefully theological everything from a group of cardinals and scholars who have just published a book that examines some burning questions that have formed the subject of discussion at the Synod on the Family [who].

We seek to be clear: Latin Americans respect the authorities provided it is united and moved by profound authority. If one confronts the typical Latin American in a decisive and determined way, if you want even with a respectful but light touch of authority, there are two solutions: or that reacts ammazzandoti, upand reacts by loving you. However, if you choose to love you, at that point he will be ready to be to get killed if someone were to dare to touch him in whom he recognized all the trappings of masculinity and power of the man who deserves as such all the more indefatigable than. And as we all know, today, one of these typical psychologies sits on the Chair of Peter.

.

Who agrees with Cardinal Kasper, tends to tacere, as agreed and just; those who do not is, attacks him. And ever when it comes to gentle attacks prelatizi, that it is settled practice of certain members of the College of Cardinals before addentarti with the bite of the cobra you sprinkle the anesthetic to bite, everything is alright; however, when it comes to certain hard and pure Catholics or certain blogs and sites in the so-called ultra-traditionalist area, they don't even know where that respect always due to a bishop and a collaborator of the Roman Pontiff lives, things change somewhat, because in this case the German cardinal was overwhelmed by insults in which the slightest offense was that of "apostasy from the faith".

.

I have some experience of life lived in the midst of the Latin American, from my closest and valuable contributor, and one thing with which I have learned to familiarize yourself is this: for a discussion of culture and custom tend not to act in a direct way, but in an indirect way. Other times it happens that the things that they say they would like to say to other. All this to protect their authority figure, the person or persons subject to certain thoughts and expressions, then to preserve the serenity of the relationship between them, the person or persons.

Let's try to analyze the obvious: it may be that the Holy Father has favored a real crawl space through an intermediary for the astute purpose of bringing out the rats in the open like the Pied Piper, to see who was in favor and who was against the hypothesis of certain discussions on delicate issues discussed in recent days at the synod on the family? It is my hypothesis, fperegrine bears, but it is worth reflecting on what, nothing else to give me wrong. In the event, however, was so, appear obvious to what extent the Holy Father could not have been put forward himself in the first person, because in this case no, in this climate of clerical cowardice, would never have come into the open [cf. My previous article, who], from the great defenders of the historical "non-negotiable values", but when they had to choose between certain non-negotiability and the possibility of finally reaching a prestigious bishopric, they promptly mitigated both the language is the fighting spirit, hiding behind the finger of spurious prudence; and in the face of his own interest or the possibility that made him see or hope purple red, if necessary they have become masters of negotiation even on “non-negotiable values”, rather: above all, on “non-negotiable values”.

I have much to disagree with on Cardinal Kasper's theology and on its ecumenism, from which I believe that only the deleterious Catholic-Protestantism can arise over time, place under the lines its reference points tend to be Kant and Hegel, over the onnipotente Rahner, with an eye of sympathy for the heretic Küng. I feel, however, to say how much I appreciate him more of certain fringes which now represent only the alleged Catholic tradition of themselves and that of their loved ones and untouchables ghettos they started to growl at the dog, while others instead of pretending not to know who is the master and the dog took off the muzzle telling: "Come on Fido, barks!

How many bishops and cardinals, from the tireless defenders of sound doctrine and values ​​are not negotiable, in his capacity as members of the Apostolic College, it crossed my mind to make that obvious which is also indicated with extreme clarity in the Gospel? And the obvious Christian and apostolic to do this would be: go to Antioch, ie in the Vatican, to the Casa di Santa Marta, clothed with manhood Pauline, take the Prince of the Apostles and ask: "Look here, 'Peter, you want to explain to your devoted and obedient brother apostles who share the honor and burden of the episcopate with you, what games certain fringes increasingly restless are trying to play under your eyes?

Il teologo Svizzero Hans Küng, in its long history the human and intellectual, he never abandoned his "dress scene", that is the "bad teacher" at odds with the authentic magisterium of the Catholic Church. His favorite themes are those who yesterday were replicated by the Archbishop of Milan, cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, and today they are vulgarized pseudo-prophetic literature of Enzo Bianchi. Are the reform of the Church, the abolition of papal primacy, a "new" moral addressed to implement the "sexual revolution" sessantottino - mold Freudian-Marxist -, granting the priesthood to women, l'euthanasia. Lately Küng, ill with Parkinson's, has come to announce the intention to use it himself assisted suicide, in imitation of Cardinal Martini.

Küng's career started in the sixties with significant interventions in the preparatory phase of the Second. With the tempo andar, its positions open to contestation have found more and more space in newspapers, with articles or interviews focused on this or that topic, thus gaining a significant reputation not only in the theological circles, but also among the general public. One of the joints of his battle and controversy was and is the virulent challenge encyclical Human life of Paul VI: ideal sacramental - and therefore certainly divine, but for this very mysterious - the family and procreation Christian Küng is reduced by a restoration of medieval, up to accuse the document Pauline and subsequent claims of the popes on the topic, "The main cause of the spread of AIDS in the world".

The controversy of Küng, in the years, invested primarily the pontificate of John Paul II St. [see who, who, who] and then Benedict XVI [see who, who] the first considered reactionary, the second even schismatic. But it is the blessed Paul VI, the pope who brought to fruition the Vatican, raged the controversy of the Swiss theologian, who could not tolerate his genuine insight reform of the Council, as opposed to an interpretation misleading - because historicist and humanistic - that was leveraging the "council of mass media», how keenly he had to say, then Benedict XVI.

The Rev. Prof. Hans Küng in a picture of maturity

Küng is the inventor of the conceptual frameworks that govern the many revolutionary proposals advanced in recent months by theologians and representatives of the worldwide on the occasion of the Extraordinary Synod on the Family called by Pope Francis. It will therefore be instructive to draw a doctrinal ecclesiology of the Swiss theologian. The ecclesiology of Hans Küng in fact deserves to be well known today because it has no theological weight marginal, indeed is precisely the philosophical-religious ideology dominant in the Catholic. The conceptual categories and the main sources of literature are those of the Lutheran Reformation and the religious philosophy of the matrix Lutheran, represented by the system in the nineteenth century idealism of Georg Friedrich Hegel and in the twentieth century by the "dogma of the Church" - the ecclesiastical Dogmatics — Karl Barth. The cornerstones of this philosophical-religious ideology are represented by historicism and dialectics immanentistic. The Catholic Church is thus interpreted as a historic moment of the dialectic of the Spirit - understood, this, not so much as the Agion Pneuma of Catholic dogma but rather as "the ghost» by Hegel —, which aims at a development in the near future that will see, as a first step, the removal of doctrinal barriers between Catholics and Protestants - with the full acceptance of the Lutheran view of "justification by grace alone" - and the creation of a single "Church of Christ" (ecumenism). In the end, as the second and final stage, the establishment of a "universal Church" based solely on ethical-political (the 'Weltethik»). This ideology permeates today, clearly identifiable as background a careful conceptual analysis, most of the proposals, doctrinal or pastoral, Catholic theologians most prominent, cominciare and Karl Rahner, that the same Hans Küng considers a master in theology and a model adopting Hegel's dialectic (1).

These teoil_falso_profeta (1)logi Catholics, many of whom became bishops, exerted a well-documented influence on the work of Vatican II, to then assume the role (arbitrary) the only authoritative interpreters of the Council in the next fiftyO, up to, today, the preparation and conduct of the work of the Synod on the possible changes to the dual prasis pastoral in relation to the problems of families.

A prominent figure of this theological current was Cardinal Walter Kasper, supported by most of the German and Italian by other theologians became cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi as Dionigi Tettamanzi and. His argument most characteristic, in line with the proposals of the theological-moral Hans Küng, is the need to accelerate the process of reform of the Church with a stronger adaptation to the moral conscience of the "men of our time" and alignment with the practice of ecclesial communities Protestant and Orthodox. In his speeches Leitmotiv is the need to de-dogmatise the Catholic Church, starting with a new pastoral family is separate and independent from the doctrine on the sacraments, temporarily not abolished but kept aloof (2). In Italy, the ideology of ecclesiological Hans Küng, especially as regards "ecumenical", is disclosed and constantly revived by Enzo Bianchi, "Prior" of the community of Bose, much heard by the majority of bishops and even the Holy See (3).

THE CONDITIONS DOCTRINE OF THE PROJECT

KUNGHIANO OF REFORM

CATHOLIC CHURCH

 

To understand well, in its theoretical and its practical implications, the ecclesiology of Hans Küng, it is essential to mention some biographical data, on the basis of the Swiss theologian works in which he narrated the process of his intellectual formation (4). From these data will be very clearly the nature Lutheran-idealistic reformers of his intentions and his ideal of Catholic Church life, based on its particular conception of the priesthood and pastoral, present in all his work, from the youth Justification the works of his maturity as Does God exist? and the "manifesto" conclusive "future Church", namely the Project Weltethos.

Hans Küng, born in 1928, is formed in a setting where you practice done some "inter-religious dialogue", by the contact quotidiyear, in the same class, with Catholics, Protestants and Jews (5). Although he had thought of becoming an architect medicoo, "Tended to something that was both more spiritual and more practical, more useful to young, so he decided to become a Catholic priest and theologian » (6). In following, these trends will become much more pronounced, that will have more resonance and evidence in its production. The show works like Truthfulness e Being a Christian, and then his activity in Rome as chaplain of employees and Sursee as a preacher in hospital (7).

Rome, the historic entrance of the Pontifical Germanic-Hungarian College

Arriving in Rome, In the 1948, Küng comes as a seminarian at the Pontifical German College and studied philosophy and theology at the Gregorian University. The Germanic, in those years, There were scholars such as Emerich Coreth, William Klein, W. Core, all engaged in the study of Hegel's Philosophy. Just at that time, In the 1952, Coreth had published an essay, titled The dialectical Being in Hegel's Logic. As stated in the same Küng, from him he learned to interpret the priestly spirituality and pastoral zeal in dialectical terms and storicistici, in frontal opposition with the doctrinal directives of the Magisterium of Pius XII, which included the recommendation not to abandon metaphysics and logic inherent in the Catholic theological tradition:

wilhelmklein

Father Wilhelm Klein

"He probably would not have lasted in those seven years without my spiritual father to the German College, Father Wilhelm Klein, which - prepared by a multiple activities as a professor of philosophy, as Provincial of the Jesuit Province of Northern Germany and as a visitor to the Society of Jesus from Scandinavia to Japan - carrying a horizon of views rare and very large […]. He was also the man who first made me careful about many philosophical and theological problems burning. I spoke with him especially of Hegel and then Karl Barth. And at first I showed him my brief theological manuscripts, that redigevo alone and that he mostly before he cut down in the most cutting edge and then force me to really think about a dialectical, that included already in the synthesis of the opposite " (8).

And it was Klein who led "Decisively" the young Küng to choose as a topic of doctoral thesis theology Barth. In another book, Küng, thanked for his help in drafting the text, remembers with gratitude Coreth, Small, Kern as his "venerable masters to the Germanic-Hungarian College in Rome», that, along with others, "I have given suggestions decisive for my theology in general and for the understanding of Hegel in particular ' (9).

Over the years, ranging from 1951 on Küng is mainly dedicated to the study of dialectical theology of Barth, and the theologian draws in Basel 1955 the licentiate thesis under the guidance of one of his professors160_160Karl_Barth of dogmatics at the Gregorian, ie Maurizio Flick, who would later become famous for his theory on the reduction of the dogma of original sin to a mere myth of origins. And Barth Küng recognizes then be grateful for having allowed to range overere the properly theological significance of Hegel's philosophy, then erasing not only the distinction between theology Catholic and Lutheran theology but also between theology and philosophy. Justification. The Doctrine of Karl Barth and a Catholic reflection is the first work of Küng and demonstrates the passion with which the theologians of Tübingen he devoted himself to assimilate the barthiano thought in the seven-year stay at the Collegio Germanico; the same Karl Barth wanted to emphasize then publicly:

"My joy comes first of all from the opening and the firmness with which she, at the German College in Rome […] as well as the brave fellow he studied my books and made it clear to himself dialectically the theological phenomenon that riscontrava » (10).

Another author passionately studied was de Lubac, then in the middle of the inevitable controversy for his book Supernatural. Historical studies (Paris 1946) that questioned the traditional doctrine about the gratuity of the supernatural. Such disputes, together with those on other issues relating to polygenism, evolutionism, to communism, led to the resolute stance of Pius XII in his encyclical The human race (1950). The Catholic scholar Antonio Russo, University of Trieste, admirer of Henri de Lubac, and therefore very understanding in regards to Küng, paints bleak the situation doctrinal, pastoral and discipline in the pre-conciliar Church, identifying with the vision of the Church that was typical of the progressives, and with them the young seminarian Swiss Hans Küng:

"In those same years, then, the spiritual atmosphere prevailing in Rome is anything but open to new. Magazines such as La Civiltà Cattolica host not infrequently articles as Perennial vitality of the Papacy; Action pacificatri519yx8Tqv1Lce of the Papacy in old age; Peacemaking and charitable of the Papacy in the age contemporanea; The Vatican beacon of cultural progress. Excommunicate the Communists and those who offer their support; and announce solemn pilgrimages, acts of devotion to Mary and "enthusiasm even plebiscitary"; proclaimed the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Holy Year of 1950, the Marian Year of 1954. The young theologian, Anyway, lived continuously in contact with both the "Roman theology" with both the spiritual and cultural environment of the Germanic, being uncomfortable and threatening to wreck his Roman conversio. So much so that his readings are oriented towards the deepening of positions and authors such as Hegel, De Lubac, but especially of Karl Barth, the study of which will shape it in a sustainable way, because the open "access to evangelical theology ", pushing to get passionate for theology » (11).

As sKung_Hans_01i Sciences, the influence received from Küng in the early years of its formation is decidedly Lutheran mold, and Lutheran is the conception of the Church and of ecclesial theology from the beginning that orients his studies. The result is a theological method, which proceeds from the substantial elimination of the Magisterium of the Church – especially the Pontificalor - as a basis for the scientific interpretation of the faith. Even the concrete life of the Church - the liturgy, popular piety - is seen as "outside", as something to be overcome or eliminated altogether because appartenent to the "Church of the past ', that should leave room for the "Church of the Future".

Küng warns a bitter annoyance to Marian devotion that the Church professes and practice, and conseguentmariatempioance with is brought to devalue, not only of popular devotion but also a solemn dogmatic as that of the 1954 relative to the Assumption into Heaven, in body and soul, Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Having disconoscithe UTO The power of teaching of the hierarchical Church, Küng instead of the Magisterium adopted as the guiding principle for theology, ie for the interpretation of what Küng always calls "the christlischer faith» (more "the Catholic faith»), the thought of Karl Barth Lutheran, which in turn introduces Küng to a practice of theology inspired exclusively to the Hegelian dialectic.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEOLOGICAL

ADOPTION OF Dialectic

HEGELIANA

It should be noted at this point that these methodological premises make the discourse on Church done by Küng is not exactly theological: none of his thesis can be considered - from a point of view rigorously critical-epistemological - as a hypothesis scientifically admissible, like one theological quaestio held, because the method he follows is by no means typical of ecclesial theology but rather to a "threadcopj170.aspsofia religious ", in the precise sense that I give to this term in my treatise on True and false theology (12). and that the thought of Küng is to be considered mere "religious philosophy" is determined not only by the fact that is inspired by Hegel's dialectic - which reduces explicitly Christian theology to philosophy, and this one "Phenomenology of the Spirit» (13) – , but also by the fact that even the thought of Barth transcends the narrow methodological limitations of the "religious philosophy"; indeed, as I reiterated in a dialogue with the epistemological Brunero Gherardini (14), the assumption of a Lutheran "Sola Scriptura», with the exclusion a priori of the Magisterium from the scientific determination of the object of theology (what else can it be but the faith of the Church), means that what the scholar calls "the christlischer faith"The"the word of god"Remains undetermined, or otherwise determined only by subjective choices, and then reduced to data obtainable only from the uncertain phenomenology of individual consciousness or historical-Community, that which is entrusted to interpret Scripture without the need for an ecclesiastical magisterium. Now, you can not develop a science without a clear determination of its specific object, which then depends on the adoption of the method more appropriate to interpret. A theology that does not have as its object the faith of the Church (and not the "feeling of faith" subjectively someone, inside or outside of the Church) can not be considered "theology" in the Catholic sense of the term, ie as ecclesial theology. E, within that theology, the ecclesiology of those who are not directly connected and essentially the Church's faith to the Magisterium of the Church is reduced to an ambiguous religious discourse which then ends up adopting the themes and rhetorical modes in a socio-political ideology, as was the case with the latest works by Hans Küng, come Projeckt Weltethos, that very little differ, in substance, by similar works of propaganda universalist ideology of the theosophical inspiration or Masonic. Indeed, for explicit admission of Küng, only after meeting with the works of Barth:

"I realized, what can be theology as a science. Barth kritischkonstruktive confrontation with the entire Christian tradition […] sat for me lasting yardsticks theological thought and action " (15).

Opera Masked ball: Archbishop woman. Below is a photo below right from the opera Funny mystery: women-priests

To put it even more explicit, and even more stringent in terms of epistemological, the ecclesiology of Hans Küng not be considered as "a theology with some mistakes": it is rather the negation of the "theology as a science" (theology as science), as a way to refer to the Church of Christ - that mystery of the Christian faith that the science and technology should take as their subject-specific and take into consideration - clearly shows that Küng refers to another. When parla di "ecumenism", It seems that simply refers to something – he detectable sociologically locates in the "lowest common denominator" of the various "confessions of faith" produced by Christian communities. This something sociologically need detectable then – just like Hegel in designing its historical synthesis of religious consciousness – to develop the project of "universal religion", that would mark the passing of the Catholic Church and all other Christian denominations, dialectical unity with Islam, with Buddhism, with Hinduism and also with atheism. Requests today Küng moves to speed up the "reform of the Church" (the annulment of the ecclesiastical magisterium and especially the primacy of the Pope, the synodical government in the Church, abolition of clerical celibacy, the admission of women to the ordained priesthood, the recognition of same-sex marriage, acceptance of euthanasia, etc.) are nothing but preparing what will be unavoidably tomorrow, will be fully realized when the fate inherent in the very essence of the Church as a phenomenon (= Hands20110604-302fesTazion momentary) of the Spirit. Nothing different, both in terms of ch and concepts, from what Hegel said in early work The Spirit of Christianity and its fate; but nothing like what is a speech propriamente theological, that begins with the unconditional acceptance of the truth revealed (the dogma) e continues with the elaborateaction of rational interpretation hypothesis that privileged instrument metaphysics. As he rightly observed at the beginning of the twentieth century Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange, at odds with the modernist theologians and cattolici believe we can reconcile the dogma with the evolutionism of Bergson, the truth of the fefrom, contained in the "dogmatic formulas", can not be understood by believers if not based on evidence of "common sense", that are substantially metaphysical in nature and which in their turn constitute a prerequisite for the rational scientific interpretation of the dogma, ie for theology (16). Effectively, without metaphysics, without the logic that it is intrinsically linked, especially without the principle of non-contradiction, the dogma is no longer the divine truth preserved by the Church, but can and should be contradicted dialectically, in accordance with the cultural and social changes (17). This is what comes to support Küng in the church (1967) and in Infallible? A request (1970):

"Every formula of faith, not only the individual but also in the whole church, remains imperfect, incomplete, enigmatic […] This fragmentation not only based on the character often polemical and narrow doctrinal formulations of church, but the necessarily dialectical character of every human affirmation of the truth […]. Every proposition can be true and false » (18).

So it is not surprising that the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued the following This orientation:

Franjo_Šeper

The Cardinal Franjo Šeper (Osijek, 2 October 1905 - Rome, 30 December 1981) at that time prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

"The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith fulfilling its duty to promote and safeguard the doctrine of the faith and of costume throughout the church has submitted to the two works of Professor Hans Küng, The church e Infallible? A question, that have been published in several languages. With two different letters, dated respectively 16 May 1971 e 12 July 1971, the congregation notified the author of the difficulties he found in his opinions and asked him to explain in writing how such views do not contradict Catholic doctrine. In a letter dated 4 July 1973 the congregaziProfessor Küng one offered a further opportunity to explain their ideas through an interview. With a sua lettera part 4 September 1974 he teacher. Küng also left out this possibility. On the other hand with his answers did not feel that some opinions about the church does not conflict with Catholic teaching but continued to support them even after the publication of the declaration The mystery of the church. Therefore, in order not remain doubts about the doctrine that the Catholic Church professes and because the faith of Christians is not in any way tarnished, this sacred congregation, invoking the doctrine of the magisterium shown in the statement The mystery of the church declares: In the works of Professor sopradette. Hans Küng some opinions that are contained, in different degree, are opposed to the doctrine of the Catholic Church, which must be professed by all the faithful. We note only the following most important now apart from a judgment about some others that Prof. Küng defends. The opinion that at least puts in doubt the dogma of the faith of the Church's infallibility and reduces it to a certain fundamental truths of the Church in indefectibility, with the ability to err in its judgments that the magisterium of the Church definitively teaches to believe, contradicts the doctrine defined by Vatican Council I and confirmed by the Second Vatican Council. Another error that seriously affects the doctrine of Professor. Küng regards his opinion of the Magisterium of the Church. In reality, he does not adhere to the authentic magisterium of the genuine concept according to which the bishops in the church are "authentic teachers, endowed with the authority of Christ and preach to the people committed to them the faith they must believe and put into practical life "; In fact, "the task of authentically interpreting the word of God, written or handed on, has been entrusted exclusively to the living teaching office of the Church". Even the opinion already insinuated by Professor. Küng nel book The church and according to which the Eucharist, at least in cases of necessity, can be validly consecrated by baptized without priestly order, can not be reconciled with the doctrine of the Councils of the Lateran IV and Vatican II " (19).

In 1979 Hans Küng accustom a revocata let missio canonical on the teaching of Catholic theology.

AN APPRAISAL OF THE TEACHINGS on ecclesiology

Historicist

 

flying license

Father Anthony De Mello S.j.. and his book: Pilot's license for eagles and chickens.

The ecclesiology of Hans Küng historicist, popularized by many authors nonfiction theological, found a note in a timely condemnation of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. It directly concerns not the Swiss theologian but an Indian follower, the Jesuit Anthony De Mello. In the document of the Congregation, made known in 1998 — the same year that Pope John Paul II published the Encyclical Faith and Reason - we read that in the works of De Mello is observed:

"A progressive distancing from the essential contents of the Christian faith. The revelation took place in Christ, he substitutes an intuition of God without form or image, to speak of God as a pure void. […] Religions, including the Christian, are one of the main obstacles to the discovery of truth. This truth, of altronde, it is never defined in its precise contents. To think that the God of their religion is the only one is, simply, fanaticism. "God" is seen as a cosmic reality, vague and onnipresente. His personal character is ignored and in practice denied ".

Bianchi, many faiths

Enzo Bianchi, Donizetti theater Bergamo, 20 September 2012 (public image available on all internet search engines)

This is the Hegelian conception of the Absolute which is not transcendent, it is not personal, but is identified with the Holy Spirit and thus become dialectic with History. The Catholic Church, once denied the absolute value of revealed truth, is relativized and reduced to a transitory moment in the development of consciousness of humanity destined to unity based on global ethics. Christ - says the document signed by Josef Ratzinger - is to be considered "As a master alongside others. […] Is not recognized as the Son of God, but simply as the one who teaches us that all men are children of God ".

In this complaint the Magisterium meeting the a priori condemnation of that 'atheistic humanism I have noted many times in the writings of another follower of the Swiss theologian, ie Enzo Bianchi, Christ comes to qualify as a simple "creature" [Ed. See previous article by Antonio Livi, who].

John Cavalcoli OP

In recent years,, is thanks to the intervention of the Church or of the Shepherds, and thanks to the publication of valuable works on the subject or to the fame acquired by skilled exorcists, as the Father Gabriele Amorth and other, in many Catholic circles has been recovered 067de-spraguealtar1awareness action of Satan in this world [CF. Pietro Cantoni, The Dark Lord, who], although much remains to be done to undoinate two persistent errors opposed to each other, the first, more prevalent in educated circles, consisting in the denial short existence deldigrandfather; The second one, instead present the working classes, which consists in spectacularization action satanic and in too much agocilitates with whom you would like to explain certain phenomena hateful or certain doom to repeat. It happens then to meet misconceptions about demtheyor both the first and in the second case.

With regard to the action ofthe Satan generally gives space and advertising, sometimes for some useless curiosity or search for success by the publications on the subject, the most striking phenomena, puzzling and impressive, as possessions, appearances and Satanism. This phenomenology, But, thank God, is rather rare.

Vice versa, exists uNo other aspect of the action of Satan, more frequent and more important, but less flashy and more neglected, and that is what we have to close all, it is of primary interest to our path of salvation, although he did not own the spectacle of the first, unlike ma, placing itself purely in terms of the spirit – the rest, Satan is not a spirito? – affects less sense, the emotions and the imagination and challenges the more delicate work of the intelligence, of consciousness and volontà, especially in relation to the exercise of the theological virtues of faith, the speranzand a charity, and the exercise of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

The phenomenon of possessions or harassment all in all is a tough test for the obsessed and certainly engages the skilled exorcist, but in the end does not affect or endanger the moral conduct of the patient, since, as is known, during the presence of the devil, the patient is in an unconscious state, so it can not exercise the will.

Instead, the entry of Satan into the consciousness of the subject lucid and conscious is the real issue about the working of Satan, as he, with its suggestions, seductions and temptations, seriously jeopardizes the spiritual health of the subject, pushing him to sin. In fact, all the action of Satan in this world can be summed up in this single end: deceive man precisely with "doctrines of devils" to persuade him to sin knowing sin, making him look evil good or good evil;.

The imagine Satan as a being frightening or repellent stop means on the level of metaphor and imagination, without grasping the true meaning of the satanic, that is to say without seeing Satan in his real danger that, I repeat, lies in its fine art to lead us to sin, to show us the sin as attractive.

 

do3sDkl7bLk

was the Prince of Light, the most beautiful of the angels

In this sense, Satan does not appear repugnant but otherwise looks fascinating, seductive and bewitching. Satan tries to dull our consciousness, yes you do not repent of the sin committed. This is the true characteristic, rest of the day for those who warn, s actionatanica. Or instills false guilt to block us in the fulfillment of the good and to lead us to despair.

In this respect, which is what should be there more to heart if we keep to our salvation, the working of Satan does not have an external character and material, relevant under, to emotions or states of our physical, as in the first case, but a thin appearance, inner, insinuating, we could say "serpentine", that's up toppunto the life of our spirit, our intimate, our ideas, our beliefs, feelings, trends or spiritual aspirations, our moral acts, our interpersonal relationship with others, our relationship with God. This raises the level of ideas, communication of thought, verbal messages, impulses or stimuli to the will.

The main aim of Satan is not even so much the corruption of passions but the corruption of the spirit. Do not push so much to carnal sins, but for the spiritual: the Superbia, the empietà, the presumption, the blind, hatred, the ipocrisia, the lie, duplicity. He poses the most serious obstacle to the achievement of good, of virtue, of God, obstacle that is not of the flesh but of the spirit or, as Christ says, not come from outside, but from the inside, from the heart, by the will.

He aims to make murky and false intelligence, unfair, double and the poor will. The sin of Satan was obviously a spiritual sin, since he is pure spirit, and for this the spiritual sins can be called "evil". These sins contaminate primarily the intellect and the will, thought and action, which are the powers proper to the spirit.

thought

a poster advertising the “creative thinking”

The first sin spiritual, the starting point of perdition, therefore, concern the thought: what St. Paul calls "diabolical doctrine". It consists in instigating the lie into the advocacy of lying about the most important values, which are those that concern the salvation, then the falsification of the Word of God, of the truth of faith, of the doctrine of the Church.

In the sin of thought obviously plays a willingness, since every sin leads to ill will. But then the diabolical sin also concerns those acts that relate to the specific commitment of the will, in other words exactly sins or action related to the operation, the practical implementation of the diabolical thought, and here we have all of the most serious acts of violence, of cruelty, of sacrilege, dell'incredulità, of the desperation, of injustice, the theft, dell'assassinio, dell'aborto, the sadomasochismo, of contention, of defamation, of denigration, of disobedience, of sedition, of the massacre, terrorism.

false-prophet

The wolf and the lamb …

The evil man can be moderated, often, tempering, measured, controlled, gentile, good manners, courteous, easy going, beneducated, sympathetic, Allegro, psychically normal, cultured, from fine stretch, apparently pious and serene; indeed the devil preferably choose these alien people from the excesses of emotional, by outbursts of anger, by uncontrolled impulses, people who do not seem suspicious, maybe in high places, prelates, theologians or religious, and are therefore subject to estimation and respect, to make them instruments of his action when he wants to do really serious damage to the souls and long-term: This is especially the heretics, whose malignant influence is able to last for centuries.

These are the authors of what St. Paul calls "doctrines of devils" [CF. The Tm 4,2]. The evil person can put on an appearance noble, may seem like a very spiritual person, a profondo teoreta, an inspired prophet, un Wall ente, a mystic, Giacchè, as St. Paul says, "Satan disguises himself as an angel of light" [CF. II Cor 11,14].

Satan knows to some extent simulate even the sanctity, although the trained eye can easily recognize counterfeits and frauds, for Satan since he is a business after all too difficult. Hence the proverb: "The devil is, but not the covers ". The fiction evil can not last long.

Holy Spirit

Artistic representation of the Holy Spirit

It falls just who wants us fall. Ordinarily, the devil does not aim so high, because few love holiness, and he wants to conquer the highest possible number of fools and blockheads. For this ordinarily lies beneath the features and style of successful people that draw the crowds, false philosophers, theologasters, sophists and clever impostors, reformers of the Church and society, genes of thought and science, seducers, political leaders, spiritists, Hypnotists, atMarket, Withthose, poets and maghi.

But we mention Paul's expression in its context, which is very interesting: "The Spirit expressly says that in latter times some shall depart from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, lies in hypocrisy impostors, already seared in their own conscience ".

First, the reference to the Holy Spirit, that is the Spirit of truth, used to give certainty of this statement. The "last days" or "fullness of time" in the language of the Bible represent the apocalyptic times, ie those conclusive and decisive, the most highly dramatic, the history of salvation, the timing of the final battle. Recall the apostasy of which the Apostle speaks [Ii Ts 2,3]. Primarily concern the future, but can also affect the present, as early as this will decide our salvation, it builds our salvation.

The same coming of Christ, according to the Gospel, inaugurated the "last times" foretold by the prophets, yes the last in chronological order, but especially intensive: times more full of meaning, time solving, also called "end times", end of this world of sin and the beginning of the new world of justice, time of the final battle of the forces of good against those of evil.

In this final struggle emerging doctrines most dangerous, which are precisely the "doctrines of devils". They must be exposed and refuted with the same power of the Spirit, which reveals the appearance and the danger. It is the Holy Spirit, Spirit of truth, accompanied by prayer, that discovers and banishes the unclean spirit, the spirit of falsehood.

These doctrines are aimed above all the destruction or falsification of faith – – heresy, by that faith which is the beginning of salvation. The devil tries to suppress the Christian life to the root, turning off the light of faith with doctrines who make it appear false, odious, irrational, degrading, inhuman, intolerant, illiberal, exceeded, enslaving and many other deceptions such.

Iconography of the Apostle Paul with book and sword

St. Paul is very strict in judging these "seducing spirits" who spread heresy. Indeed, declares that they are "seared into their consciousness"; therefore are not in good faith, which, however, can happen when one defends heresy without knowing that it is a heresy. In this case, since the time of St. Augustine the Church speaks of heresy "material", who is not guilty, since the subject exchanges involuntaryously the error to the truth, and the truth for error.

Instead heresy veritable, this "Formale", there is real guilt, the fact that the heretic knows that his idea is heretical and everything defends presenting it as Catholic truth, or simply excluding it as if it were contrary to Catholic truth. It is a grave fault, well described by the Apostle with the expression "seared into their consciousness", as if to signify the fire of hell in this life begins to haunt the heretics.

Certainly it is not always easy in practice to distinguish the formal heretic from the material, but it is very important, though very different is the behavior that must be taken in the two cases. However there are signs that indirectly but with certainty allow us to distinguish and then to adopt the appropriate behavior that is necessary in the two cases.

The essential difference between the two types of heretic is given by the presence of certain characteristics moral: the formal heretic is superb, conceited, unfair, arrogant, obstinate, ambitious, vindictive, cruel, scornful and mocking towards opponents, an implacable hater of those who dare to criticize or rebuke, smart guardian of his image or his look, so as to obtain the highest possible reputation in the world, committed to seek ways and to form disciples and collaborators who support him in his unholy activities.

The heretic is the subject of fanatical admiration from the followers, that place it above any other authority, is almost a god. A classic example is Luther, though of course we should recognize in him some quality, as his "deep religiosity", as he said Blessed John Paul II.

Conversely the heretic simply material is actually orthodox and can also be a holy. You can not not even properly say heretic, but it is only one person who errs. Simply does not realize his mistake, and if they become aware, would reject decisively, but God can allow for a long time and maybe even for life not noticing. It is therefore not guilty of ignorance, so-called "invincible", or caused by insufficient training received or the inherent limitations of his intelligence or misinterpretations or misunderstandings insurmountable maybe related to the environment, language or character flaws or his psyche.

Rosmini 03A

Blessed Antonio Rosmini, a life of holiness. Have fallen into the error of doctrine involuntary, not at all precluded the recognition of the heroic virtues.

The heretic material, we might even say heretical pseudo-, errs only in certain points within a system of thought essentially orthodox and indeed from this point of view can be of great value and do very well to the culture and the Church. It can even be a mystic and a master of holiness. It is faithful to the Church, conscientious, concerned about orthodoxy, enemy of heretics, humblee, pious, prudent, Modesto, disinterested, magnanimous, charitable, generous, ready to correct himself when he realizes the error, gentle and patient with opponents, who may mistreat him, not attached to his ideas, not worried about a worldly fame, but to please God unsoloed, not closed in his ideas, but always ready to learn. Famous example is the Blessed Antonio Rosmini.

As stated in the passage from St. Paul, Satan is the major contributor of Hypocrisy. How often Jesus throws accusations of hypocrisy! And against whom? Against the tax, prostitutes and sinners? No; against priests, Scribes and Pharisees! What a lesson for us priests, for us religious, Rated to perfection and the guide of souls! So between us that the devil is the most suitable soil to sow his doctrines!

peacock's tail, emblem della vanity

The first thing to do in life - And this is especially true for those who are called to insegnare theology or the truths of faith, and to lead souls to salvation - is to act in good conscience before God, detached from human glory, seek God first and at all costs: if men approve, well, and names willthey try, patience. It is therefore necessary to avoid human glory and not be a slave to other people's opinion. Instead the Heretic first seeks himself and the favor of men; God and religion are just a means for him to succeed in the world and to get a fleeting glory that opens to him and to his disciples on the road to perdition.
