EVER CHALLENGE THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE THAT ARE ONLY WORKS WITH THE RESULT OF HUMAN HAND

.

Since we are men of faith, we believe in Divine Providence. Having then by the grace of God, certainly not because of us, a faith enough “adult” and solid, we know that Divine Providence can never be challenged through works that are not of God but the work of man, linked to personalities of ecclesiastics or lay people who give life within the ecclesial world to works behind which pride and vanity are often hidden, not infrequently the megalomania of men who say they have received specific missions entrusted to them by God, when in fact they only talked to themselves, believing, the best scenarios, he had spoken with God; at worst, some people are aware that they are playing on the mysteries of faith to deceive others for personal purposes, often pure profit.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands.
They have mouths but can not speak; they have eyes and do not see;
They have ears but can not hear; there is no breath in their mouth.
Let those who manufacture them and whoever trusts in them be like them.

[Shall 134, 15-18]

Dear Readers.

.

Giovanni Cavalcoli and me, our collaborator Jorge A. Faccio Lince, Roman cat Hypatia who watches over the island of Patmos, we are pleased to inform you that from 1 January to 30 April this magazine has already reached three million visits.

.

The number of 3.000.000 of visits was touched last year in the entire course of 2015, while in this new year it was reached and exceeded in just the first four months.

.

.

Thanks to the readers we incurred those management costs that Giovanni Cavalcoli as a Dominican priest, I as a priest of the secular clergy, we had no personal means to cover.

.

For the year operating expenses 2016 readers have offered 1.700 Euro, a single benefactor donated 3.500 EUR to reach the amount of 5.200 € required.

.

We illustrate you the activities that we would like to start and which consists above all in this:

.

.

- The record Patmos Island and enroll albo of journals at the National Association of Journalists, because being made of a magazine, it is right and proper that it is properly registered;

- Open the Editions The Island of Patmos, having among other things already several authors to be published and several works by Giovanni Cavalcoli and Ariel S. Levi Gualdo who have already had spread and who still, Although out of print, there have been repeated requests from numerous readers;

- Print The Isle of Patmos as a quarterly magazine, collecting in three issues a year the main items, species of Theologica, then sending it by subscription.

.

Since we are men of faith, we believe in Divine Providence. Having then by the grace of God, certainly not because of us, a faith enough “adult” and solid, we know that Divine Providence can never be challenged through works that are not of God but the work of man, linked to personalities of ecclesiastics or laity who at times give life in the ecclesial world to works behind which pride and vanity are often hidden, not infrequently the megalomania of men who say they have received specific missions entrusted to them by God, when in fact they only talked to themselves, believing, the best scenarios, he had spoken with God; at worst, some people are aware that they are playing on the mysteries of faith to deceive others for personal purposes, often pure profit.

.

If what we intend to do is God's work, so that made it a better service to the Church of Christ and the truths of faith of which we are for the priestly ministry and theological mission devoted announcers, in this case the Divine Providence will still fleshed once through you at least giving us the means to begin, namely the need to proceed with the registration and enrollment of the island of Patmos in the register of specialist magazines and to open the Editions The Island of Patmos.

.

We are able to print and sell books on-line, in paper and electronic format. We have already contacted several bookshops in various Italian cities that have given us the availability to put our books on sale. Widespread distribution will only be possible in the future, if the company will be fine, because giving books to a distributor implies initially unsustainable costs. But it will be possible to order and receive by mail our books and find them in some libraries of Rome, Florence, Bologna, Genoa, Milan, Torino, Novara, Verona, Catania, Cagliari.

.

We decided and chose to move to this way because veterans of experiences not happy with the publishing world.

.

From 2006 I I started to publish my books with the Mauro Bonanno Publisher brand [Rome-Acireale], soon becoming one of its best-selling authors. Between 2006 and the 2013 said to the press 5 books, two of which were particularly good sales and were the subject of attention from the national and international press.

.

Write certain books Author coast in all directions. often certi texts require years of study, work and research. The result I got, however, was nothing short of disappointing: despite my numerous requests I have never been able to have the Editor nor the reports on sales; I lack the satisfaction of knowing how many copies my books had sold! And if I never got the reports, let alone a penny royalties Author. All this after signing contracts rejected by the Editor in key parts: the annual report and the payment of royalties Author.

.

The drop which caused the vase to overflow it was when the Publisher - whom I met in 2005 come intellectual left - It was discovered Mazzinian and it became a Freemason. And neglecting several necklaces, including the theological which I founded and direct, he began to publish dozens of texts on Masonic history and esotericism. What they promised him four Masons suburban I do not know, But one thing is certain, Despite the arcane intrigues of Freemasonry, at the time it did not become either Luigi Einaudi nor Arnoldo Mondadori.

.

nurturing towards Freemasonry the pious Christian contempt that I have always harbored towards idolatry and the profanation of the Name of the Creator, more so I did not mean to accept that a publisher who did not pay the wages due to the worker had, however, means to make gifts to the Lodge, not least also with the proceeds from the sale of my books. Nor could I forget the warnings I addressed as a confessor to various Catholics about the fact that Freemasonry is incompatible with the very essence of Christianity. And although I was in charge of the books written by me, certainly not those published by Bonanno Publishing Group, which brings together the brands Bonanno Publisher, A&B e Tipheret, I thought not opportune to introduce the name of a priest and a theologian faithful to the precepts of the Church within a Group become a circle of Freemasons, the texts of which [cf. WHO, WHO, WHO] they are still distributed today by a Catholic distributor, the Dehoniana Books S.p.a.. And when of this I informed the good Dehonian Fathers in due time, asking if the Dehoniana distribution chain was always under their control and if by chance they had also agreed to distribute Masonic esoteric texts, I didn't even have the grace of an answer.

.

Since the Publisher He had breached contracts, I informed him through an attorney that they were believed to be dissolved and released from any obligation I came in possession of my works. The Publisher, specialized in re-founding companies that under another name carried on the same activity by distributing the same authors who had also signed contracts with previous companies, via the new administrator, what in legal jargon is called loggerhead, he fulfilled my request and withdrew my books still in distribution from the market. This is the reason why my books are no longer on the market: I have imposed the withdrawal I for non-compliance of the contractual agreements of the Publisher who had published them and disseminated.

.

This experience has undoubtedly marked me, so that, although several publishers have asked me over the last three years my books in publication, I refused to grant them, having experienced how small publishers in a country like ours where the sale of books is below that of the countries of the Third World. I have decided, in conclusion, not to publish anymore free the amor Dei, for the benefit of those who presume to grant the “great honor” to offer free your hard work for the benefit of others.

.

publishing companies series exist, however, they hardly publish books niche addressed to readers ranging between specialist and interest in certain topics dealt with in depth. Just look at the rubbish published or distributed by the Society of St. Paul, a Publishing House which, although headed by a religious congregation, distributes texts by heretics such as Hans Küng in the chain of its libraries, Vito Mancuso and the late Andrea Gallo. All while certain bishops on the one hand, certain more clericalized secular clergy on the other hand, seem committed only to show the private or public disagreement with the tremebonda apostolic exhortation love joy, because all the problems are concentrated in the latex of a condom or a pre-marital relationship, issues on which - as we all understand - lives or falls the whole mystery of faith. Then, for the rest, if the Pauline Sisters recommend Küng or Mancuso for reading in Catholic bookstores as texts of high Catholic spirituality, nothing to say, nothing to be shocked and nothing on which to do battle. This is why, these days when I see clergy and laity enter into other people's bedrooms with sling goldsmith, as I have already stated I am assaulted by hives. This is not because the cardinal sin of lust and adultery with it has been declassified, never! But simply because lust is not the only one of the deadly sins, but above all it is neither the first nor the most serious, place in the first place - as long I keep repeating - is the pride, the satanic queen of all the worst deadly sins. And transform the sex and human sexuality in the motor center of the whole mystery of evil, in its own way really of clerical-pathological [I refer to my previous article, WHO].

.

That said capita, Dear Readers, how important it is to salvage the one hand, publish and disseminate on the other hand, the books of the great Fathers of the Church and of the great theologians of the past and present in a world in which, Within the Catholic bookstores managed directly by religious congregations, They do it by Carlo Maria Martini masters, Bruno Forte, Walter Kasper, Enzo Bianchi, Vito Mancuso … This is the work that we have set ourselves but for which we do not have the means to complete even the first necessary paperwork, heretics because they always find money, grants and sponsors, We're not. And unfortunately, in this society that thought is passing from the liquid to the vaporous thought, immersed in the dramatic shortage of historical memory, where everything is increasingly paralyzed and immediate finalized, no projections into the future, we run the risk safe that before many years, works of extraordinary importance to the heritage of faith, end up hopelessly lost.

.

To start the business we need them 4.000 Euro to complete the paperwork for the online magazine and for the opening of the Publishing House; 6.000 euro for the press and the sale of the first 10 books. On the one hand still we ask for help to the readers, on the other, with the help, We ask an answer that only you can give to men of faith: all this, it is the will of God to serve Christ, the Church and sound Catholic doctrine? If so, the help will come, if it will not come, then it means that we are wrong and that even if we in good faith and animated by a total lack of interest we are wrong.

.

So they think and act men who in faith They believe in Divine Providence but that never would challenge the Divine Providence to carry out their works which do not come from God.

.

And to conclude me back to mind the words of an old parish priest who with enormous sacrifices succeeded in building the new parish church, on which he had the following plaque placed in a discreet corner: "This church was built with the precious advice offered by the rich and with the money offered by the poor".
