As we had long promised to our Readers, The Island of Patmos will offer you a series of video lessons by the Dominican theologian Giovanni Cavalcoli.

.

In this first video, shot in May at the splendid Ligurian convent of Varazze, Father John addresses the great theme of the immortality of the soul in relation to the mystery of salvation. God the Father desires that all men can be saved, and offers all means, tools and ways of salvation. God so desired our salvation that he sent his Only Begotten Son to us, the Word of God incarnate.

.

However, it is necessary to remember, in this era of do-gooders and fakes mercies, that salvation is offered to all, but that not all men will be saved. It gave, who created us free and endowed with free will, will fully respect this freedom of man; free to choose to walk towards eternal bliss, or free to choose to walk towards the flames of Hell [following video …]

For Catholic morality, gambling is not always considered a sin, but may assume that when gambling is offensive to justice and charity, exposing us to vice structured on the addiction that comes from our own free choice.

the conference on compulsive gambling promoted by Lions Club, at which he gave a talk Ariel S. Levi Gualdo on the relationship between Catholic morality and gambling

Reducing people slaves irrational-emotional feelings, of illusion and dreams, It is not the worst form of slavery?

Modern slavery It is worse than that of the ancient Romans, it was a legal institution of civil law; an institution that provided for the emancipation, the slave liberation. And once it becomes Liberto, the former slave, species in the imperial era, He could make even brilliant careers. Instead of modern slavery, not codified in any law, because the democratic systems that promuono psychological slavery are those who condemn slavery firmly, but then made the same resulting in exercising massive controls on masses of slaves, for which it is not expected that legal possibility of emancipation already planned rather than two millennia ago in the Roman civil law.

About Gambling, The Catechism of the Catholic Church uses a much stronger end of the term "addiction", uses the term "slavery". And here I would point out that not all addictions are in itself and of itself bad, sometimes they are not even harmful. Indeed, addiction", It can arise from our own glossy initial choice which can then escape our control, until enslaving, but nevertheless it starting from an initial act of our free will. There are in fact two different forms of slavery: We can be enslaved by a violent total deprivation of liberty, or we can be enslaved by various forms of psychological dependence, almost without realizing it [follows the conference video …]

THE PROBLEM OF LANGUAGE AND Doctrinal NEOLINGUA OF NEW THEOLOGIANS: «FACTS WERE NOT to live like brutes but to follow virtue and Knowledge»

aerial view of Ortigia, the heart of the ancient Greek city of Syracuse

In this Lectio I was sent to keep by the Knights of the Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem and by the Members of the Lions Club in the ancient city of Syracuse on 1 April 2016, I have dealt with a theological subject a lot delicate: the loss of language for the correct transmission of the mysteries of faith and dogma, explaining how over the last half century of history, the accuracy of the metaphysical language, It will be replaced within the Church a Newspeak drenched sociologisms e theologians. The heart of Lectio focuses on the passage from the Gospel of Matthew where it is told of Jesus who feels tenderness towards men who "seemed like sheep without a shepherd", for this, "he began to teach them many things" [Mt 6,30-44].

image of Syracuse cathedral built over the ancient temple of Minerva [VII sec. a.C]. That of Syracuse is an ancient church founded by the will of the Apostle Peter by Bishop Martian and then visited by the Apostle Paul [cf. At 28, 11-16]

Finally the warning Pauline which today sounds more dramatic than ever topical and on which the whole is structured Lectio:

.

«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 to fairy tales " [II Tm 4,3-4].

.

I am particularly happy to recall my teacher and brother priest Giovanni Cavalcoli, son of the Dominican and illustrious disciple of St. Thomas Aquinas, with which I share with many years worth, love but also with that theological hope that combines with faith and charity, the difficult ecclesial and theological situation we are living. Part of this Lectio it is also the result of long discussions and in-depth exchanges that have taken place between us over the past three years.

"GOD IS CATHOLIC», EC TEACHES THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL OF JOHN

.

Not long ago, the happily reigning Pontiff Francis, conversing with the reporter happily atheist Eugenio Scalfari, he has declared: «I believe in God. Not a Catholic God, there is a Catholic God, God exists'. And saying this has taken a concept already expressed in autumn 2007 Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini and be recorded in the book titled Nighttime conversations in Jerusalem. Maybe it is not for me to argue late Bishop of Milan, celebrated to death by all the left Radical-chic anti-Catholic in Italy and beyond; but I can say quietly that night, old cardinal, perhaps they would do better to go to sleep, thus avoiding damage to sow through their sleepless-theological dialogues.

… the professional devastating blankets for beds

I thank the Vatican Television Center from which I took pictures of this movie. I thank Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, My spiritual director, who has agreed to appear with me on video. A devotee thanks all'insigne Dominican John Cavalcoli, academic pontifical, that opened my mind on Thomistic principles of metaphysics feline; the young Thomist philosopher and theologian Jorge Facio Lince that helped me to learn the lessons taught to me by the distinguished Dominican theologian.

I promise to Father Ariel and Jorge, as my personal penance in this jubilee year, avvoltolarmi no longer covered in woolen winter beds of their rooms facendoglieli then find promptly undone when they return home.

Through this act penitential I hope to gain the indulgence offering daily, as cat Catholic consecrated secular, my prayers for sinners of the class of cats Aristocats, because contrary to their cats of existential suburbs They are poor and, as poor, are all good, saints and sound; because the Church of Christ is no longer the Church of all men of good will, but the Church of the Poor.

… the professional devastating blankets for beds

Alas, I can not sleep a family of refugees cats Mohammedans as I wished, for the Father Ariel told me he threw me out of the house and sent to live in the hotel who had made up his mind to me certain ideas rather unrealistic.

At that point I thought about that “threat” and I remembered that I, when I was little - think: I weighed only four ounces! - I was torn to certain death by the Father Ariel and his collaborator, that when the celebration of the Holy Mass in the Catacombs of Priscilla were intent on returning home, When they found me abandoned, taken to scream in Via Nemorense. As you can see they have not collected in a periphery existential, but in a Roman residential area of ​​wages district, where they could live many more poor than they dwell in neighborhoods ultra-popular, Why, as he has always taught me my good Father: anyone who is deprived of Christ is a poor. It is in this fact that we measure real poverty: be deprived of the grace of the Father Creator, Son of the Redeemer, Holy Spirit comforter who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
