COMEDY IN THE TIME OF ADVENT. BUT GOOD FOR ALL TIMES

«The Holy See will not remain silent in the face of serious disparities, to injustices and violations of fundamental human rights in our human and global community, increasingly fragmented and prone to conflict" (S.S. Leone XIV, text WHO)».

The list of serious disparities, of injustices, violations of fundamental rights, in particular, the violation of human rights that takes place directly "in the home" of the Supreme Pontiff, without anyone stopping you - on the contrary: they also get offended and become even more violent towards anyone who dares to ask for them to stop -, they are longer than litany Lauretane. Because ultimately we are and remain the same as always: ready on the one hand to defend in the public square the dignity of the last of the illegal Muslim immigrants landed on the Italian coasts, or even the dignity of embryos, and then beat the faithful servants of the Church inside the clerical rooms when the world's cameras are turned off.

But then it is known: the ecclesiastical world is the only place on Earth where reality has decided to disguise itself as a permanent allegory: a theater of power in which the martyrs act against the light and the sinners go on stage with bright lights in liturgical costume rather than that of clown.

But let's not fear: in the appearances in liturgical dress the Lord does not look for miracles; in his martyrs against the light, instead, always recognizes the Church that He founded.

COMEDY IN ADVENT. BUT SUITABLE FOR ALL SEASONS

«The Holy See will not remain silent in the face of the grave disparities, injustices, and violations of fundamental human rights within our increasingly fragmented and conflict-prone human and global community» (H.H. Leo XIV, text HERE).

The list of grave disparities, injustices, and violations of fundamental rights — in particular the violation of human rights committed directly “within the household” of the Supreme Pontiff, without anyone putting a stop to them (indeed: they even take offence and become still more aggressive toward those who dare ask that they cease) — is longer than the Litany of Loreto. Because, in the end, we are and remain what we have always been: ready, on the one hand, to defend in the public square the dignity of the last Muslim clandestine migrant landed on Italian shores, or even the dignity of embryos, only then to beat the faithful servants of the Church inside clerical chambers when the world’s cameras are turned off.

But then again, it is well known: the ecclesiastical world is the only place on earth where reality has chosen to disguise itself as a permanent allegory — a theatre of power in which the martyrs perform in backlight and the sinners step onto the stage under full lights wearing liturgical vestments instead of clown costumes.

But let us not be afraid: in those who merely appear in liturgical attire the Lord does not seek miracles; yet in His backlit martyrs He always recognises the Church He Himself founded.

COMIC IN ADVENT TIME. BUT GOOD FOR ALL TIMES

«The Holy See will not remain silent in the face of serious disparities, injustices and violations of fundamental human rights in our human and global community, increasingly fragmented and inclined to conflict" (S.S. XIV lion).

«The Holy See will not remain silent in the face of serious disparities, injustices and violations of fundamental human rights in our human and global community, increasingly fragmented and inclined to conflict" (S.S. XIV lion, text HERE).

The list of serious disparities, injustices and violations of fundamental rights — in particular the violation of human rights consummated directly “at home” of the Supreme Pontiff, without anyone putting the brakes (it's more: They even get offended and become even more aggressive towards anyone who dares to ask them to stop.) — is longer than the Laurentian Litany. Why, in the background, we are and continue to be the same as always: capable, on the one hand, to defend in the public square the dignity of the last Muslim clandestine to reach the Italian coasts, and even the dignity of embryos, and then beat the faithful servants of the Church in the clerical halls when the cameras of the world are no longer looking.

But, besides, it is well known: The ecclesiastical world is the only place in the world where reality has decided to disguise itself as a permanent allegory — a theater of power in which martyrs perform against the light and sinners appear on stage with the lights at full brightness., dressed in liturgical vestments instead of clown costumes.

But let us not fear: In the troupes dressed in liturgical habits the Lord does not look for miracles; in its martyrs in backlight, instead, always recognize his Church.
