"THE WAY OF THE THREE KEYS" FANTATEOLOGICAL NOVEL BY ARIEL S. LEVI of GUALDO

.

Having translated in the form of a novel, hovering between fantasy and dystopian, the essence of hindmost, it is an effective - indeed brilliant - way to fill that void that has made Catholicism sterile, which for half a century has been groping in the dark in a continuous succession of self-destructive experiments. hindmost is a beautiful term that combines the ultimate realities of every Christian in a catechetical and pastoral form in an apocalyptic perspective understood in its most genuine etymological meaning: revelation.

Telling in the light of faith the vicissitudes of the life of an established professional through the lens of hindmost: a choice of other times and a rather unusual topic in the current Catholic panorama. This is what the author proposes in this novel fantasy-theological in the balance between dystopia and fantasy, retrace in a pastoral and catechetical form the fundamental moments of the spiritual life of every Christian to prepare him responsibly for those ultimate realities - taught him many decades earlier during the stages of Christian initiation and then disregarded or forgotten - but essential in the apocalyptic perspective towards revelation.

.

Who we are, where we come from, where are we going? These are the deepest existential questions in the life of each of us. The path of the three keys it is a paradigm of the journey that each man is called to travel through the numerous stages of his earthly existence. It is born, you live and die. Those who are aware of this know they have a past behind them, to live a present that flows fast and a future that is becoming more and more imminent, indeed, he is already here and at the end he will present us with a bill, sometimes quite salty.

.

This is the drama of the transience of life, an interminable succession of alternating experiences. Affections are on the one hand on the scales, friendships, the joys, emotions, professional satisfaction, disappointments weigh on the other side, suffering, the mortifications, the diseases and those tragedies that each of us, crescendo, is called to face.

.

More and more innovative technological applications every day and consumerist propaganda flatter us to live the era of modernity, in a world folded into more materialistic hedonism where the appearance and selfish satisfaction of our pleasures and needs have in fact clouded our spiritual essence, the only fundamental individual wealth, the ability to think about the deepest reasons for our existence asking ourselves why, what is our role in creation.

.

This literary work marks the human and spiritual maturity of Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, refined dogmatic theologian and historian of dogma, that by combining his theological skills with a profound knowledge of the human psyche, he masterfully translates the deep and mysterious existential themes of the protagonist into a novel, successful man, in which each of us can easily identify. Narrator of recognized talent since the publication of his historical novel Nada s security, the Author manages to lead the Reader through concrete spaces and landscapes where the dialogues of the characters follow one another, making to taste, from picture to picture, even the most minute and crude details of human weaknesses, where he often loves to hide the deepest teachings of the Catholic religion with original and never predictable artifices.

NEW EDITORIAL: «FROM PROZAN TO PROZAC» A BOOK BY ARIEL S. LEVI di GUALDO AND IVANO LIGUORI ON THE WRECK OF THE DRAFT LAW AGAINST HOMOTRANSPHOBIA

.

«It is possible that the LGBT world is inhabited only by poor victims and by no perpetrators? It is possible that for an unworthy priest suffering from psychic disorders, guilty of molesting teenagers, the entire Catholic Church is exposed to the public pillory, while the same investigative journalists and television presenters would never dare - and do not dare out of fear - to go and check what happens with minors in search of money in certain gay circles?».

In 2018 the bill against homotransphobia was presented, approved by the Chamber of Deputies in November 2020 and rejected by the Senate in October 2021. Design which the Catholic Church and the Bishops of Italy have never opposed. Indeed, long before certain proposals reached the House and the Senate, the Catechism of the Catholic Church decisively and precisely condemned all forms of discrimination against homosexuals in the edition of 1992.

.

To oppose and raise the alarm that the text hid the figure of the crime of opinion between the lines have been secular jurists and politicians, bluntly labeling it as a "liberticidal law proposal".

.

The Authors of the work, Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo and Ivano Liguori, in their capacity as presbyters and theologians they have expressed their opinions on this delicate subject several times, offering reflections to the readers of our magazine The Island of Patmos, collected today in this book adorned with hilarious and prophetic expressions addressed to lobby gay ideologized by Paolo Poli, great master of italian theater.

.

Lately, in this necklace, has been published The coup of the politically correct, an essay by Francesco Mangiacapra who analyzes with great clarity the theme of the law proposal on homotransphobia, which we recommend reading.

.

In the introduction to their book the two authors write:

.

fathers Ivano Liguori and Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, authors of the book: From Prozan to Prozac

"We who are two priests and theologians have never pulled back - our publications show -, when the respect for the truth required direct public and severe criticisms of the ecclesial and ecclesiastical world. And if sometimes, for only telling the truth, we have paid the consequences, it was a more than acceptable tribute. We are indeed heralds and faithful servants of the truth, with all that that can entail.

Now let's try to immerse ourselves in reality: have you ever heard in the various talk show televisions - which could not be such in the absence of quote gay ―, an LGBT representative who publicly and severely criticizes his world?

It is possible that the LGBT world is made up only of great people and above all the lines? It is possible that the LGBT world is inhabited only by poor victims and by no perpetrators? It is possible that for an unworthy priest suffering from psychic disorders, guilty of molesting teenagers, the entire Catholic Church is exposed to the public pillory, while the same investigative journalists and television presenters would never dare - and do not dare out of fear - to go and check what happens with minors in search of money in certain gay circles?

In the LGBT world, everything is fine, everything's perfect? What the Holy Doctor Augustine indicates as the Heavenly Jerusalem, perhaps it has its own angelic natural home in certain gay circles? This is what makes certain ideologized and radicalized LGBT fringes surreal and not credible. And someone, to groups so folded into irrational emotions, he also intended to give a law to shut up and prosecute those who do not think like them?

Asking certain questions does not constitute an incitement to hatred of gays, lesbians and transsexuals. It is simply a matter of considering them for what they are: human beings like everyone else, for better or for worse. But if they lobby and pretend to present themselves as people without a shadow of a blemish, or worse as a corporation of untouchables, in that case it will be appropriate not to give them certain laws and let them wallow in the pool of their dreamlike perfection, where everything is good and idyllic, because all the bad guys and the persecutors are only on the other hetero-side.

We do not hesitate to highlight the defects of our visible Church and its clergy, always looking at man as such, to whom we have never asked for licenses of heterosexuality or homosexuality, accepting it and loving it for what it is, how Jesus Christ welcomed and loved him. Because we live in the world of reality, aware that faith is born of reason, not from the irrational emotions of a certain rainbow world ".

"THE GOLPE OF THE POLITICALLY CORRECT" AN UNMISSABLE BOOK BY FRANCESCO MANGIACAPRA WHICH ALSO ANALYZES THE HAIR OF THE NAKED KING POLITICALLY CORRECT

“When democracy is corroded by the cancer of the politically correct, it turns into a dictatorship of minorities, an anti-democratic regime whose integralism is constituted by the denial of objective reality to favor a fanatical extreme sense of respect towards all, in which, in order not to run into a potential offense to the detriment of certain categories of people, and discriminates, the freedom of thought and expression of majorities is denied and abjured.

A homosexual who does not identify with the powerful gay lobby he ends up ostracized and receives the applause of that sovereign and Christian public they so abhorred: this is what happened to the former gigolo Francesco Mangiacapra, known for having presented to the Vatican a dossier on fifty gay priests of his former clients.

.

"The gigolo and the priest friend" is the preface written for the book by Francesco Mangiacapra by Father Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo, founder of the Editions The island of Patmos. And this is already a program [click here to open the PDF with the back cover]

.

The lead hood of "politically correct" it weighs on a society indifferent to real violence, but ready to exhibit at the Pillory, for a joke or a harmless satire, who dares to oppose the single thought. Despising freedom of thought, it has come to propose a law that punishes not so much words, works and omissions but the thoughts of the non-aligned. In The coup of the politically correct Mangiacapra analyzes some significant themes of modern civilization, ranging from the dynamics relating to immigration policies, to the dysfunction of the canonical organisms towards a large slice of the population to favor a minority; analyzes the rampant hypocrisy of the “politically correct” and the ease with which this is spread, blurring the less attentive minds that demean themselves, embracing philosophies of thought that often lead to limiting the faculty of judgment and expression of those who get involved in this vortex of fake respectability.

.

"When democracy is corroded by the cancer of politically correct" says Mangiacapra: «It is transformed into a dictatorship of minorities, an anti-democratic regime whose integralism is constituted by the denial of objective reality to favor a fanatical extreme sense of respect towards all, in which, in order not to run into a potential offense to the detriment of certain categories of people, and discriminates, the freedom of thought and expression of majorities is denied and abjured. A tyranny that claims to de-legitimize civil society from the faculty of opinion on any social minority group, political or religious because they have all become undeniably sacred and untouchable ".

.

Mangiacapra's essay has the merit, first of all, not to be a product dictated by emotionality, but rather a long-considered research and therefore rich in articulated objective analyzes. An illuminating critique of an elite emerges - whose Modus Operandi has now risen to a system - which requires to regulate everything according to the assumed superior ability of its members to read and interpret the psycho-physical, ethical and health problems of today's society and consequently to apply the solutions - they say - evolved, more suitable and effective in the interest of certain, particular minorities, of which they present themselves as philanthropic benefactors. The mentality underlying the rule ends up establishing the dictatorship of the small minority, favoring "the most intolerant", in the face of an inattentive majority, flexible, subtly circumvented and then harassed. They act according to a very precise and sophisticated socio-political strategy through which the ideological fanaticism of a few – who pass off a series of secular dogmas as ethical imperatives – it actually introduces a creeping totalitarianism into people's heads, managing to cloud common sense and the collective interest of the majority. They are recognized as advocates of the politically correct and for this alleged merit they are supported by advertising and pseudo-information campaigns well orchestrated by the media through newspapers, magazines, cultural programs, investigation and in-depth analysis, TV series, film, talk show where some of their members are regular guests, very active on social networks and followed by hosts of followers.

.

On a superficial reading it could be concluded that Mangiacapra proposes a misanthropic vision, misogynist and racist of life, but in reality the object of criticism is not the single individual or the single issue but the exploitation that a certain political and intellectual band makes about the most controversial issues of our time: the Author does not hate women but disputes vulgar feminism, he does not hate animals, but he disputes exacerbated animalism, he does not hate foreigners but disputes reckless policies on foreigners. Clear is the purpose of conducting arguments that have the aim of dismantling the national-popular propaganda that a certain intelligentsia he wants to feed us through the media.

.

A politically incorrect essay in a regime where the right of criticism has become “an inversion of the burden of proof”, and the do-gooders imposed by law rise to the official doctrine of liberal-democratic totalitarianism. Topics for which, for years, the gay activist for sexual self-determination and civil rights, it is censored on social networks and ostracized by the lobby of the LGBT associations themselves.

.

Finally I am pleased to inform all our readers that starting from the printing of this work, the books for sale are available both with the usual soft cover and with the hard cover, as indicated below:

NEW BOOK BY FATHER ARIEL S. LEVI di GUALDO - «PIUS XII AND THE SHOAH: BEING GRATEFUL TO THOSE WHO HAVE SAVED YOUR LIFE IS A HUMILIATION THAT SOME CANNOT HOLD "

In a few days the Holocaust Memorial Day will occur, which means remembering all the victims, including Saints, Saints and Witnesses of the Catholic faith who died in storage Nazis together with the Jews, all of them united by belonging to the same human race, all victims of the terrible "banality of evil" [Hannah Arendt, Eichman in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, publishing 1963]

The Jews hunted by the Nazis e saved by the Catholic Church they attested their devout gratitude to Pius XII throughout their lives. Then came the Zionist grandchildren of the survivors of the Shoah, born twenty years after the end of the Second World War, mostly former Communists who had cynically opportunistic transmigrated to Right parties after the fall of the Berlin Wall, which left them inconsolable and lost orphans by Karl Marx. A rough team that starting from 1967 begins to attack the figure of the Pastor Angelicus with books, articles, documentaries and films built on false historians generated by blind ideological hatred of Catholicism and the Papacy.

.

And so it was that an army of grandchildren devoid of measure and a sense of ridicule begins to deny the testimonies of their grandparents who survived the death camps, which is to say:

.

"Not no, because you persist in believing what you have seen and experienced, instead of believing what I tell you?».

.

PROLOGUE

taken from the work: Pius XII and the Shoah

.

This book constitutes the V Chapter of my substantial work of non-fiction Herbs Amare, the century of Zionism, written twenty years ago between 1998 and the 2002.

Over the following years, looking forward to finding a publisher interested in publishing my work, I have inserted from time to time some updates related mostly to new current events of particular interest. The book was published at the end of 2006 and was distributed with good audience and sales response until 2014, when I withdrew from the Publisher the publishing rights for issues on which I postpone by virtue of my spirit of Christian charity.

Herbs Amare it is an articulated discussion in which I operate above all a clear separation between the Zionist Movement, political phenomenon born in the early twentieth century in the season of nationalist upsurge and Judaism, which is the religion of the spiritual entity of the People of Israel.

Whoever equates anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism acts the absurd.

The scourge of anti-Semitism cannot be used to defend the ideologies of Zionism, which remain questionable, starting from the creation of the State of Israel, born through methods that it is legitimate to analyze and, if necessary, disapprove on a historical and political level.

When I was writing this book, the Israeli-Palestinian crisis was particularly heated and the Jewish communities of the diaspora active in the defense of any policy pursued by the State of Israel, without hesitating to react irrationally, but also aggressive and offensive.

Indeed, not a few Jews and Jewish institutions of the diaspora, under the pretext of defending Judaism and keeping alive the memory of Shoah, they tried to legitimize the ideology and policies of the Zionist Movement in every way by taking refuge behind the Nazi extermination camps and thus silencing any adverse voice, thus equating anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism.

In those years, in Italy, all this was aggravated by the internal political situation. The parties of the Right, in particular the National Alliance heir to the old MSI-DN (Italian Right National Social Movement), he strongly felt the need to rebuild his virginity in the face of history and to free himself from accusations of connection with the old fascist ideological roots.

Thus it happened that in the administrative and political elections that took place between the end of the Nineties and the beginning of the New Millennium, Right parties began to nominate well-known exponents of the Italian Jewish Communities. All this really bordered on the tragicomic, because certain candidates were characters who until a few years earlier were members of the old Communist Party. Others even came from the ranks of the more radical left, from Lotta Continua to Proletarian Democracy.

Like this, in front of the questions, but also to the completely understandable teasing addressed to them, these former communists, if not worse, former members of the radical left, to justify their candidacies in the Right-wing parties they replied that they were candidates "... because the National Alliance defends the State of Israel".

Herbs Amare it has never been contested on the merits of the contents. And when several times I was invited to debates, all interlocutors who could have seized the opportunity to try to publicly deny me refused to participate. This usually happens on two separate occasions: when the Author is an ignoramus who raises illogical questions and senseless analyzes that make comparison impossible, or when it exposes facts and truths that are impossible to deny that lead to avoid public confrontation.

Several readers have recently suggested that I take the V Chapter dedicated to the figure of Pius XII and publish an essay dedicated to the specific theme. I took the advice and published this self-titled essay: Pius XII and the Shoah.

In this regard I would like to clarify that at the time of writing I was simply a scholar committed to deepening my research studies in the historical field, juridical and socio-political and the idea of ​​becoming a priest was then quite far from my aspirations ...

The grace of the vocation to the priesthood "struck me" long after when it worked Herbs Amare it had been done for years, kept a few years in the drawer, then published at the end of 2006. I received the Sacred Priestly Order in Rome even later, May 1 2010.

It would therefore be ridiculous if any individual or institution ever protested over the past years, decided to do it for this re-edition because today I have meanwhile become a priest and a Catholic theologian.

This delicate historical discussion opens with the sentence of a nephew who says:

"Not no, because you persist in believing what you have seen and experienced, instead of believing what I tell you?».

Starting from this joke, I show how the Jews saved by Pius XII over the years lavished themselves in devoted and grateful thanks, starting from their religious and lay Authorities, to follow up with the highest political authorities of the newborn State of Israel.

Until their pro-Israeli Zionist grandchildren arrived, born twenty years after the end of the war, former communist militants who emigrated to the Right for political convenience, who through books and articles devoid of historical dignity begin to deny what their grandparents had declared as protagonists and eyewitnesses, paying the highest honors to the Supreme Pontiff Pius XII.

Since it is very difficult to believe in the principle of randomness, I remember that certain burst attacks on Pius XII were born starting from 1967, after the Six Day War, when the Holy See made its voice heard condemning the acts of violence and the occupation of the Palestinian Territories by the Israeli Army.

From then on, absurd falsehoods about Pius XII began to be built, followed by black legends denied by real historical data. And while numerous Jewish communities of the diaspora shouted and shouted at the anti-Semite against anyone who dared to criticize the discriminatory policies carried out by the "perfect", "Divine" and "heavenly" State of Israel, at the same time, however, it was allowed to publish books that infamous Pius XII from the cover title: Hitler's Pope^[1]. With the magazines and monthly information periodicals of the Jewish communities that these books were advertised before they even went into distribution.

The architects of this I play the massacre, they don't want to condemn a few pages, or certain unedifying characters who have also crossed the history of the Church, like that of all the most disparate civil and religious societies of the present and the past. They long to condemn the Catholic Church in its entirety in a kind of new Nuremberg Trial, brought to the dock as Nazism was brought there after the war. Above all, what they basically crave, it is to condemn the truths of faith that the Church announces.

Don't realize this, for Catholics it is very risky. Unfortunately they will realize it when serious damage will fall on the whole Church, dragged as a criminal association to the bar of the accused in the new Nuremberg Trial, where she will not be convicted on the basis of evidence and truth, as it happened for Nazism, but of false black legends created by the worst historical denial driven by destructive anti-Catholic hatred.

When in a completely different season of my life I wrote Herbs Amare, while I was covering one status which was not my current one, two decades have passed since then. Today I must say that the herbs have become even more bitter, indeed perhaps poisonous.
