Because once to become parish priests had to pass a competition with real test papers and not now?
Old Testament
Father Ivano would like for a moment to make a point on the situation also for my inner clarity.
If one takes a greek myth knows that the facts narrated are not history but a ciosa completely different and therefore these event nevessità have to be translated from the language of myth in a different . The interpretive keys of the myth are perhaps disappeared forever, and then the thin anfibologie that underlie the narrative expression are unknown to us, they appear to us only as naive stories, often spicy, certainly it not apparently deserves to be examined with great care and effort by skilled philosophers who were Julian and Virgil.
The Old Testament we have instead told is history-indeed ierostoria – so it should be able to be investigated by the tools now have the history and they suffragabile. And yet examined, it dissolves. The primordial couple? Pia fraud; the Flood? Fola, i giganti? Better to let it go, The land herem della Promessa? Peoples counted down extinct still exist in the text, Jericho and its walls? Dead and buried for centuries, the passage of the Red Sea ? Scenegiatura to Cecile de Mille, the glorious temple of Solomon? A blatant false history for timing incongruous.
So if it says that those who here writes with a single mortal sin is not redeemed can go to hell, likewise it allows me to say that cho has reconstructed the history of pro domo sua, He can not hope to be more credible and hope also that I believe that it is the "word of God" saw the strictly political and interestingly character of this ancestral reconstruction of events.
So the problem is that now the Christians all go to school and raise doubts that perhaps are the same as those that arise from those insights that Marcion was placed at its time. Hence the natural alienation denounced by the parish priest.
If I'm wrong correct me quietly
prejudice father Ivano
the reported problems are not perhaps a result of the council Vatican 2 ?
Thank you
Thanks for the article. In my laziness spiriuale I'm coming just now really understand what being a priest, (Parish priest or brother in particular), sia il “craft”, the most beautiful vocation, totalizing human experience, and simultaneously the most “difficult” of the world.
I realize how humanly impossible for a priest without the help and the grace of the Holy Spirit carry out pastoral service without falling into utter despair, and this not only today but I always. The problem nowadays is that it has joined the extreme fragility of modern man who wants to do without the God who revealed himself, but if we are allowed to live in these times it is at these times that we have to deal. Regret things as they were 40, 60 O 300 years ago it is useless, except to try to ” collect as much good had been sown and in turn sow for those who will”. So thanks for sharing this reflection
“Another important thing to know is that the apostolic work proceeds in stages, as well as a relay race: I reap what others have sown earlier [cf. GV 4,37-38] or I sow what others after me will be called to pick up”
A great example is St. Giocomo
only Convert 7 people and wanted to leave the Iberian Peninsula,but the Holy Virgin appeared to him (He was still alive)he said:
“My son has given you this land….
Then we all know how that turned the history of the great Catholic Spain
I really enjoyed this article on the answer to the questions on.
The first part sincerely are things I hear from 40 years and I got bored, when I hear the priests who reason to get angry methods and strategies…. But then this was taught in the seminary (then they sent to the people 40 year old).
I thank God that my pastor allows us to Adoration…..
Gentilissimo Luigi,
thank you for partial appreciation of my article. Do not arise that I could not understand whether the part of the script not to his liking refers to the letter-vent of the priest, or to my analysis. However, I feel I must make some clarifications.
Even theology – which it is a science – uses his method and applies the strategies. Maybe to us these terms are more reminiscent marketing or other more secular disciplines but only semantic value of the words can not be considered an absolute evil. Indeed from a sense point of view, the Incarnation of the Word has a very strong strategic value, if we think that God would be able to use other more appropriate ways to a god and not as simply human. Instead he chose a woman and her husband and this ordinariness of family life, according to human dynamics. Is this not a strategy? Of course, a divine strategy that even after 2000 years we have to understand.
Do not be too hasty to dismiss everything with the phrase “indeed this was taught in the seminary (then they sent to the people 40 year old)”. He sees those teachers who no doubt were not perfect, they still threw the blood on the books and sacrificed in teaching and when I think that another might consider this their testimony as something trivial or obvious, Well a while I get angry… I also had teachers less good than others but always keep the memory and try to keep the little good that they tried to send me to their office as teachers of the faith.
another aspect, university study, as the theological, He does not live alone academic mediation of the teacher, but also of personal study, personal readings, Community discussion and…prayer. So the success or failure in studies is given by all this, as well as the benefits that can be drawn.
When we think of the great Fathers of the past, We never remember that they were not only intelligent and educated but also deeply pious and God-fearing. This is to say that the teaching dystonia can occur either because the only rational teacher is solely because Pietist professor. E’ need to find a happy medium. Being a teacher, species in theology, It is not easy and I think that deserves respect, It deserves respect as the disciple who learns in good faith, trying to see that teacher Christ himself. The fact that this tradition has been handed down from 40 years means nothing, if it has not been implemented, gutted, included, applied, metabolized and depth has always been from the beginning. Or maybe we think that the time factor is a discriminating disabling the transmission of doctrine? That being the S. Gospel that has well over 40 year old, would already accantonare.Un last thing, I also thank her with her parish priest who educates its faithful to prayer of adoration exposing SS.mo Sacramento, but certainly his parish priest will, just as I know that I have pastor, that the faithful need as well as also of Christian education Prayer, pastoral expressing faith, Community human realities as well as strategies and methods announcement that the ancients knew and preachers that are taught today in that part of the biblical and pastoral theology which is called homiletics.
For this reason the invitation, if you feel the need to judge, to do it with the tenderness of those who love and grace with that of those who do not know all the implications of a question.
The blessing.
