[…] it is not excluded, as clearly evidenced by the experience, that there are religious embroiled in serious sins, worse than some secular, and there are even more holy holy religious laity. A bill in fact are the means of holiness and a bill is holiness itself. Be secular or to be religious are only means to be saints […] If religious life, still today, fifty by Council, It presents serious shortcomings and defects, not to mention scandals, This is due to the false interpretation and therefore the non-application of the conciliar decrees.

THE LEGISLATIVE POWER OF THE CHURCH

[…] is important that, as Catholics, we strive to acquire, especially as priests, theologians and pastoral workers, with the help of the Holy Spirit and in communion with the Church and the Pope, a consummate capacity for discernment, that allows us, as far as possible, to distinguish the levels of authority of the laws of the Church, so as to practice jointly and with conviction, in the service of the brothers, a sincere and generous obedience in the holy freedom of the children of God.

AT THE GATES OF CHRISTMAS: COMMENTS atheism JOHN Cavalcoli

.

[…] Blessed Paul VI gave to the Society of Jesus as a special task the struggle against atheism; but unfortunately the company not only did not produce anything significant in this field, but it was conniving with communist guerrillas in Latin America and has given full freedom to act as a theologian Karl Rahner, which it supports the possibility of an atheist in good faith, therefore it is not guilty.

[…] from here we see how foolish it fideism Lutheran, that under the pretext of exalting the truth of God's Word, reduced to mere opinion, if not in fallacies and errors that philosophy of Aristotle, that for centuries the Church used, with the mediation of St. Thomas, for the interpretation of the data of faith.

THE MIRACLE OF ADVENT: BORN AGAIN

And new presbyter, particularly we theologians do not recover a metaphysical dimension of philosophy and Christian life we ​​could never do real pastoral evangelizing, just mere philanthropy, mutandoci shortly priests assistants-social-surrogate; nor will it be possible to do theology according to the etymological sense of Theos-logos but only religious sociology. In either case, it will not be possible to support, carry on and develop a spiritual and ecclesial Christian.

The theoretical basis of thomist synthesis. A criticism at the thought of Dominican philosopher and theologian Joseph Babu

THE THEORETICAL BASIS OF THOMIST SYNTHESIS. A CRITICISM AT THE THOUGHT OF DOMINICAN PHILOSOPHER AND THEOLOGIAN JOSEPH BABU

.

[…] the idealist does not care so much about the actual, how much to build a system of ideas. The real to him is only an opportunity to build his system, giving shows inventive and genius. He therefore conceives philosophy as if it were an artistic work; not so much as if it consisted in seeing, but in doing. So the idealist philosopher is at the service of others to lead them to the truth, but it is a skilled speaker who wants to impress others with its paradoxical and amazing beats or dialectical inventions, as would a juggler, mage or magician.

Two days ago I dedicated an article to the case of Mons. Kryzstof Charamsa through a public gesture that has brought suffering to many of his brethren in the Holy Priesthood, said to be homosexual and have a companion with whom he moved in the Basque country [cf. WHO]. At the time I did the studies, Mons. Charamsa held at the license degree in dogmatic theology a seminar dedicated to "God and human suffering». Today I wanted to pull out from my archives an old study discussed with him on this issue, based on the Apostolic Letter Saving pain of St. John Paul II. In the meantime, cease not to pray that soon the father can celebrate and kill the fatted calf to celebrate the homecoming of Kryzstof presbìtero Charamsa.

5. Baptismo

Whenever I take a child in my arms to baptize him, so that it may be cleansed by the mystery of grace from the stain of ancient original sin, my mind is thoughts related to the mystery of life, of death and human suffering; and every time, during the phases of the sacred rite of baptism, I think to myself that the creature, at the origin of life, It was not created to get sick, grow old and die […]

POPE FRANCIS AND IDEALISM

John Cavalcoli OP

John Cavalcoli OP

.

Today it has become clear and common ground, after the powerful and decisive words of Pope Francis, that there is no room in the Church for the idealism, just as there is no room for those philosophical doctrines, that, for different reasons, prevent, they destroy or falsify the knowledge of faith and therefore the truth of faith. The idealist, so, can no longer be, as it was believed for a long time, pedantic companion with a realist on the Gospel and in communion with the Church, ma, as the conductor Jorge Mario Bergoglio made us understand, is an abusive traveler, without ticket, who is cornered: you pay the ticket or realist, and then you can travel with me and passengers on the train of faith and salvation; or take another train, where do you hope to get to Christ maybe more surely and more quickly of the realist.

The question of the validity of priestly orders today, AND THE PROBLEMS OF THE FRATERNITY OF SAINT PIUS X

The tragic mistake which is fallen Bishop Marcel Lefebvre, certainly due to a subtle deception of the devil, was formed in his mind an adamant as mistaken belief, that the teachings of the Council, He appeared to be polluted by a secularist mentality, anthropocentric and modernist, They consequently compromise the high, traditional dignity of Holy orders, degrading it and asservendola to profanity, at depths, Not to mention the mistakes of the modern world.
