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].

QED …

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 ]

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.

ET, Michelangelo, Judgement and … the Vaticanists

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].

Cardinal Walter Kasper

From the ongoing affair, that Cardinal Kasper is making out of it? It is a bishop of the Catholic Church, is a cardinal elector no longer octogenarian, President Emeritus of the Pontifical Secretariat, theologian appreciated and rigorously imposed as the only verb in certain theological studies full of all the worst modernist and pro-Protestant heresies, that is, almost all of the existing ones… so it has very little to lose, little or nothing to gain, as opposed to other bishops always on the track instead groped no longer know how to please the Supreme Pontiff in a desperate attempt to get him the benefits and promotions …

a manifestation of popular faith in Peru

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.

The Pied Piper

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”.

Cardinal Walter Kasper during an interfaith prayer

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! I want to see who will answer, but above all as. Then, in time and place, I'll think of it, perhaps in the way that no one can imagine ... ".

Peter and Paul in Antioch, Byzantine mosaic

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? Assuming they play under your eyes and it is not you who make them move like pawns?» [CF. Gal 1-2,7.14].

… qua the command!

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 shooting target, 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].

… I will give you the keys of the kingdom

Like it or not some people today to Peter called Francesco, and to him we owe devout and filial obedience. If you want to use and abuse the Catholic Church to be more, the question changes, since memo other with respect to the Church founded by Christ above Pietra precise, which is that of Peter. And today the stone is Francesco, Bishop of Rome and Pontifex Maximus, without the possibility of any Catholic discussion, if faithful to Catholic tradition we want to be, regardless of whether the Holy Father may or may not surround himself with bad company, of bad advisors and even of “useful idiots”.
