Beautiful article, stupendous refutation of a colossal nonsense that is now circulating even outside the Web e, speaking out of the teeth, mi fa inc….re bad because he totally lacks respect for a great man like Joseph Ratzinger – Benedict XVI.
But if we had to make a list of nonsense that circulate reaping victims among the most naive people within the People of God, we would never make it out alive.
I myself had a fight on FB with a girl who spends her time advocating for the separation of men and women in liturgies, with the resurgence of the use of the veil for women, going so far as to stage real battles of principle to enforce it. Or other fanatics who claim that the Novus Ordo masses, udite udite, they are not valid because the devil is attracted to the use of Italian, while the Eucharistic prayer in Latin makes him flee (sic!). Mind you, I'm not exaggerating at all, I know firsthand.
Back to more serious topics, I take the liberty of inviting you to read this article with an enlightening comment by Mons. Giuseppe Sciacca, secretary of the Apostolic Signatura and auditor general of the Apostolic Chamber. Its conclusions are based on canon law, as is normal considering the office he holds, but in any case the article by Father Ariel I proceeded to print it and set it aside to deepen it, it deserves to be meditated on well!

Dear Savior,
you were right to post the article by H.E. Mons. Giuseppe Sciacca, which I know well, but unfortunately I forgot, despite having read it with great interest at the time, to inform our Readers.
In my entirely personal opinion, but I think it is founded, after Cardinal Mario Francesco Pompedda (1929-2006) I think he is one of the best canonists we have today worldwide.
I fully share yours “anger”, precisely because it deals with a situation that I too experience with an irrecoverable family member.
Years ago I was fascinated by his religiosity, by his fervor in praying, from his humility. But here is that in the period of look down unthinkable scenarios open up, “devourers” of virtue, which made me perceived the clear feeling that a “second terrible virus” was raging against men. Since then the belief has been spreading that the vaccine is the work of the evil one and modifies our DNA, that the Mass is valid only if in Latin, that Communion should be accepted only through the mouth, that our beloved Pope Francis should be mocked and feared as an anti-Christ, like all of us his followers disciples of a heretic.
I let you imagine the sterile attempts at persuasion and the disagreements in the family context. Providentially I find here, in the phrase of the Gospel of Matthew reproposed to us by father Ariel the most adequate solution:
“«Whichever city or village you enter, do yourself whether there is worthy, and stay there until you leave. Entering the house, salute. If the house is worthy, ………”
Thanks for the reported comment of Msgr. Sciacca
Reverend Father, I ask for your kindness, to also open a Telegram Channel where I am very popular for the work of evangelization with my publications and to seriously evaluate the great opportunities this Application offers. It can also interact with us. The Channel can be private and only those with a clearly visible phone number have access to it. I love how much he writes and he can be really explanatory in the videos he posts, even if not listed, are Youtube. It could also help many confused souls who are abandoning Facebook and other social platforms. I pray the Lord enlighten you in this regard.
May the Lord bless you greatly for this article written by you and that, if not all, at least someone is starting to think!
face simon,
I assure you that I will speak with the other Fathers and collaborators of The Island of Patmos to take very seriously what you suggest to us.
We will try to make it possible to enter the Telegram channel.
With sincere gratitude
Dad, a wise invitation that of Simona, which he has brought to light as well as through His words, the virtuoso style of your exhibitions, the topicality of the themes and even more the dialectic (of which, I confess, I would like to have a few crumbs), knowledge and a lot of Truth are transferred to us. I personally was fearfully fasting on the meaning of specific terms, of their origin and/or modification in the course of the history of the Church. So I often repeat myself if it's not a real shame that so much generous wealth and training remain “enclosed ” within the magazine, select few, and instead do not attempt wider and more prodigious channels of communication and exchangeability. Yup, there is the television space, but very rare and limiting. This is your latest article, eg, of such an analytical capacity, which contrasted very well with the ” vagueness” of content of that “freely” journalism in question, which I stumbled across as soon as it was published, well, I decided to share your latest article immediately with several friends who do not know you yet and know nothing to oppose the wise lies that circulate.
I assure you that at the beginning of the year we will organize ourselves in this direction.
In the meantime, I thank you for the timely and valuable advice that will absolutely not fall on deaf ears.
Dearest from the Precious Father,
unfortunately yesterday I had a confirmation of his words. A “trust” e “tried” friend, which I hadn't heard in a while and which I knew hadn't gotten vaccinated for the usual reasons, to my invitation heart in hand to provide, to my intention to personally accompany her to the vaccination center as well as to my offer of help in case of adverse reactions after the usual tirade Grande Reset, on hidden powers and on the newspapers bought by Minister Speranza (???), here it comes out that our happily reigning Holy Father is a demon, that the real pope is Benedict XVI and that Radio Maria it's the truth.
I don't tell you the pain, the anguish and rage that such blasphemies have brought me. I was dumbfounded and dumb. AND (era?) one face person, a powder’ material and individualistic, but believer and, in his own way, faithful to the precepts of Holy Mother Church. Too prone to miracles and the more introverted Marian cult, that yes.
the, in conscience, I don't feel like leaving it like this, but I really don't know which way to take it.
Good evening and thanks for the confirmations that you give me, and always related to the most pressing doubts.
Dear Gianni,
when some people close themselves off to reason, they reject reality and refuse to make logical reasoning based on common sense, helping them is always very difficult, sometimes it seems almost impossible.
If you try to make them think good-naturedly, they feel challenged or worse attacked, not to mention how they react if one tries to prove them wrong, worse than ever.
In these situations we can only limit ourselves to listening to the person, avoid contradicting her, and wait with wise patience for even a tiny crack to open.
If the person remains stubborn, the evangelical maxim tells us clearly what to do:
«Whichever city or village you enter, do yourself whether there is worthy, and stay there until you leave. Entering the house, salute. If the house is worthy, your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. Whoever will not receive you or will not listen to your words, leave that house or town and shake the dust off your feet ' (Mt 10, 11-14).
I sincerely thank you for your precious teachings. I always follow you with keen interest and please continue to “thunder” as he usually does.
See you soon and may Our Lady accompany us.
As a lost sheep, I can only agree with her. Such important theological issues should be dealt with in high-level settings, by competent scholars and by theologians enlightened by an ardent faith.
Unfortunately the current Catholic Church is torn apart by tendencies of all kinds such as the German bishops inclined to Protestant tendencies, struggling between married priests and “women priests”, let's not talk about the rampant homosexuality in the ranks of the consecrated, idols in the Vatican, communion for the remarried, amuchina instead of holy water, Eucharist in hand, de facto abolition of the old order of mass, etc. etc.
Lastly, the video in which Bergoglio confessed that he did not know why Jesus had to suffer the martyrdom of the Cross.
We little sheep are increasingly lost and are still waiting for an answer to “dubia” of the 4 long-forgotten high prelates.
Why Bishop Viganò is not excommunicated while priests suffer the sanction for less than a tenth of his statements?
I pray the Almighty to send the Apocalypse as soon as possible, so we will stop arguing and the truth will triumph.
Praised be Jesus Christ. We adore you, Christ, and we bless you. Because through your holy cross you redeemed the world.
Caro Gian,
as far as it is "emotionally" understandable, sometimes some tend to face certain problems, undoubtedly very serious, as if the Catholic Church had only a present, rather than 2000 years of history behind and destined, according to the promise of Jesus Christ, to survive until the end of time. How it will survive we do not know, but we know he will survive because Christ God said so.
In the fifteenth century the bishops of present-day Germany did much worse than the debates between "married priests" and "women priests" and several of them were not pastors in charge of souls but powerful feudal lords.
Maybe, the problem of homosexuality was a novelty that marks the decline and decadence that the Church is experiencing today. Because this too is old history, proves it Free Gomorrhianus of Cardinal Pier Damiani, later saint and Doctor of the Church, who launched thunder and lightning against the widespread sodomy of the clergy as far back as the 11th century.
As a priest and theologian, I have the duty to inform you that the Church has never granted Holy Communion to the divorced and remarried and whoever attributes this "granted faculty" or this "subversion of doctrine" to the post-synodal apostolic exhortation love joy, evidently he has not read that document, in which there is absolutely no provision to that effect. As far as the divorced and remarried are concerned, the discipline contained in n. 78 from the Familiar Consortium of the Holy Pontiff John Paul II, which no one to date has repealed.
In love joy the pastoral care of divorced and remarried persons is recommended and pastors are invited to evaluate the different situations on a case-by-case basis. Moreover, something that the Church has always done and certainly not for eight years now. And I tell you this as a confessor, for instance: grave sins against life, such is, for example, abortion, they are by no means all alike, because there are different situations and different conditions and facts that may have prompted a woman to have an abortion, thus making this sin, very serious in itself, different in severity from person to person. There may even be exceptional cases in which, such a grave mortal sin, in a particular and specific situation it can even be reduced to a venial sin, for example in the case of a woman forced with coercion or a woman without real awareness of what she was really doing. Or perhaps freedom is not at the basis of sin, awareness and deliberate consent?
All of these are perhaps inventions of the “Church merciful of the new course"? No, is the teaching of one of the greatest doctors of Catholic morality, also proclaimed Saint and Doctor of the Church, Alphonsus Maria de 'Liguori.
Idols in the Vatican? A me, that I also know the spaces of the Vatican and sometimes I visit them with a certain assiduity, also accessing those spaces not allowed to visitors, it does not appear that in the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament of the Papal Archbasilica of St. Peter they removed the Eucharist reserve and replaced it with some idol, nor do I know that they evicted the relics of the Blessed Apostle Peter from under the altar of confession to replace them with a pagan idol.
If the Ecclesiastical Authority establishes that the Eucharist is taken in hand with reverent devotion, why putting it to the mouth, in times of pandemic from Covid-19, there is a risk of transmitting infection from one faithful to another, one adheres to what the Church has established, without crying out for sacrilege, where there is no sacrilege. This said by a priest who always avoided giving Communion in his hand, but which adheres scrupulously to what the bishops have established, because they are the teachers and apostolic custodians of the faith. This without certain faithful who believe they know better than the Successors of the Apostles tearing their clothes apart over every trifle and, believing that he respects the Blessed Sacrament better than others, they find nothing better to do than contest the bishops.
I am very happy that restrictions have been placed on the celebration of Holy Mass with the the old order, because it is the case to say: whoever is a victim of his evil mourns himself. Indeed, it is something ascertained and documented that an exalted fringe of the faithful is anything but a minority, for years he used that venerable rite against an entire council of the Church and against the liturgical reform of the Holy Pontiff Paul VI. What I regret is that they didn't come to this decision many years earlier, avoiding so many problems for the bishops and for us priests by those not a few faithful who had instituted the so-called Party of True Tradition and who used the sacred liturgy to move serious and heavy objections to the Church, to the council and to the liturgical reform.
The Cardinals “gods dubia”I met them, one in particular, Cardinal Carlo Caffarra. And this Cardinal would have answered her by explaining that the Supreme Pontiff is not required to respond to the pleas addressed to him, for example in the form of dubia. If not, then he doesn't answer, it cannot even be judged for this, because the Roman Pontiff is not subject to the judgment of any human authority. But mind you, not for eight years now, but always.
I'll explain right away why the confused and confusing Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò is not excommunicated. For this simple reason:
1. He never said that this is a false and satanic Church, a multinational of lies governed by the Antichrist;
2. He has never declared that the reigning Pope is an illicitly and invalidly elected antipope;
3. He never declared that all of us who celebrate the sacred mysteries in communion with him celebrate invalid Masses and administer invalid Sacraments and instead of feeding the faithful with the Body of Christ we feed them with the body of the Antichrist and that our celebrations are satanic Masses;
4. Because he never said that on the death of the reigning Pope another antipope will be elected as cardinals cannot elect a legitimate pope to succeed him;
5. Ecc… ecc …
That is why this Archbishop has never incurred excommunication.
I would not invoke, boldly as she does, the impending doomsday, because I think maybe the first to be judged could be me. Because he sees, usually, the universal judgement, those convinced that God always and only judges others always invoke him, never them, but above all that he judges them as they believe he should judge them and that they should be judged.
I bless her and wish her every good and grace from the Lord and, above all … carry on with Maria!
Now I finally know what to answer to so many catconfused, thank you for everything Reverend Father, May the Lord bless you greatly!
face simon,
together with my brothers Ivano Liguori and Gabriele Giordano M. Scardocci, we try to make Catholic information as much and as best as possible, in a very particular way when certain dangerous rabble-rousers confuse the sheep of the flock that Christ God has entrusted to us shepherds.
This is the purpose of our priestly mission, this is the purpose of The Island of Patmos.
I bless you from my heart
Certainly these are hard times for some good shepherds, but they are just as hard for the sheep that wander astray …. so confused and disoriented by the many false calls.
Bleating sheep that no longer know how to recognize the reassuring voice that leads them back to safety in the fold ….
The great divider (the greek devils) he is always at work sowing tares and confusing minds and souls, in and out of the Church.
