The
Danger of Don Alessandro Minutella
This
article was first written as the second part of the article, “Only
a Remnant of the MMP Will Remain”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.com/2018/08/only-remnant-of-mmp-will-remain.html;
https://josephdwight.wordpress.com/2018/08/17/only-a-remnant-of-the-mmp-will-remain/).
This
article was a reply to a couple of
emails from a woman “very torn”
here in Italy who is part of the Marian Movement for Priests (MMP).
The Subject of her email is: “The silence of the Marian Movement of
Priests”. Since the MMP is so important to Our Lady, I spent some
time in gathering information which regards the problems and the
division in the MMP after the death of Don Stefano Gobbi. This woman,
Assunta, who had the courage to open her eyes in this period of great
confusion, was tempted to follow Don Minutella.
Don
Alessandro Maria Minutella (Palermo, Italy, 1973) was a priest of the
diocese of Palermo and pastor of the Parish of Pope Saint Gregory at
Boccadifalco (Pa). He received his doctorate in dogmatic theology at
the Pontifical Theological Faculty of Sicily with a theses on the
relationship between the theology of purgatory and the mystical dark
night in the writings of Saint Catherine of Genova. At the Pontifical
Gregorian University he continued to complete a doctorate in the
history of Christian dogma, with a theses on the
Christological-Trinitarian eschatology of Hans Urs von Balthasar. Don
Minutella became the head of a traditionalist Catholic group of
Palermo, “The Little Nazareth”, which does not recognize the
election of Pope Francis. He was notified with a decree of
excommunication for “the heresy and crime of schism” on November
13, 2018.
Here
is the second part of the article, “Only a Remnant of the MMP Will
Remain”.

REGARDING
DON ALESSANDRO MINUTELLA, after having
read the whole Blue Book, it is not the style of Mary to do as does
Don Minutella. Also a similar thing happened to me as to Don
Minutella, having lost my parish because I preached the whole Gospel
according to the CCC and not just the easy parts (Cf.
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2015/05/road-perdition.html;
http://cibo-spir.blogspot.it/2016/11/festa-falsa.html;
http://cibo-spir.blogspot.it/2014/01/attirare-la-gente-chi.html;
https://youtu.be/OhcOkeUhmsA).
Yes Don Minutella was treated unjustly by his bishop of Palermo.
Shortly before his bishop, Mons. Lorefice, put sanctions on Don
Minutella, Mons. Lorefice, after having been given a bicycle, rode
his bicycle in the cathedral, with the liturgical vestments and the
miter
(http://www.marcotosatti.com/2017/03/31/palermo-il-vescovo-in-bicicletta-toglie-la-parrocchia-e-impone-il-silenzio-al-prete-critico/).
But I cannot image that I call the priests of Italy or of the USA to
me, as did Don Minutella. I also cannot image saying to others that
Our Lady directly gives me messages! I have had several experiences
and studies and writings on the criteria of discernment regarding
private revelation. Visit (in Italian: “Discernimento –
Veggenti Falsi”
(http://cibo-spir.blogspot.it/2015/04/discernimento-veggenti-falsi.html).

https://priv-rev.blogspot.com/.
Mary
is the great general with more than five stars in this great battle
between “the woman clothed with the sun” and the “great red
dragon” (Rev 12), not a particular priest such as Father Joe or Don
Minutella or Don Laurent L. or the Bishop Fellay (the superior of the
SSPX)!!! With the “Arch of the Covenant” of the Old Testament the
walls of Jericho came tumbling down (Joshua 5:13 – 6:27). The “Arch
of the Covenant” of the New Testament is Mary, who carried in her
womb God for nine months. How many times in the Blue Book Our Lady
tells us that we priests must become little children in the arms of
Mary, repeated often by Don Stefano Gobbi, “two month old babies in
the arms of Our Lady”! It is Our Lady who God has chosen to crush
the head of the serpent (Satan) in the period of time (Gen 3:15)!
When
will the Queen of Heaven and Earth intervene?
“These
children of mine should not be afraid to give themselves to me
completely. They are now living in times of great confusion; in many
of them faith in my Son and trust in me is diminishing. Bad example
is everywhere increasing, and how discouraged are many of them
becoming discouraged! This is the time to call on me, to yearn for
me; this is all I am waiting for in order to reveal myself to them.
That which most touches my Heart is TO
HEAR THEM CRY LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN. Can
a mother not be moved before her little child who is crying? Behold:
when everything will have come tumbling
down, ALL
THAT WILL REMAIN WILL BE THE STRENGTH OF THEIR TEARS
that will compel me to intervene in an amazing and terrible way. And
my triumph will begin with these beloved sons, my priests.”
(February 23, 1974).
In
the end there will be a great risk that Don Minutella will lead many
people in the same situation and into the same attitude of many
schismatic groups, or he will leave
many people very deluded and discouraged because in this period it is
God who permitted the false pope “a
destroyer”, as our just punishment
(“The “Prophecy” of Saint Francis
(Assisi)”;
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/11/prophecy-st-francis.html),
due to our great lack of prayer and the general indifference
regarding sin; behold why Satan has great power in this period.
Jesus
lived 30 years in the hidden life with Mary and Joseph; He spent 3
years in the public life, and 3 hours on the cross to redeem the
world. It is not the moment to organize
a revolution against the Roman Empire
(or today against the New World Order) as Barabbas or Judas Iscariot
tried to do 2000 years ago; during his passion Jesus could have
called down “more than twelve legions of angels” (Mt 26:53) but
he did not! But it is the moment to be with Jesus on the cross and
Mary at the foot of the cross in this period of the purification of
the Body of Christ, the Church (cf. CCC 675-677). Having done
perfectly the will of the Father, Jesus lost almost all of his
followers on earth, He was humiliated on the cross publically, and He
suffered more than we can imagine. Jesus was a priest on the cross
and often in the Blue Book one finds the words of Our Heavenly Lady
who prepares her priests for the same great vocation of our Lord
Jesus, of our “immolation” with
Jesus.
What
was the reaction of the great majority of the poor and of the slaves
under the Roman Empire? They were on
the bottom of society and getting stomped and of course they were
resentful and they were waiting for a hero to come and stomp the
people who were stomping them! But the true Christians, the few true
followers of Christ, OVERCAME their
RESENTMENT and forgave their enemies,
loved their enemies like Christ did on the cross and Mary at the foot
of the cross. This is how Christianity came about, but that was sure
is a miracle of grace, to overcome resentment by forgiving and loving
their enemies! That was grace!
This
reaction of RESENTMENT is typical of
wives with difficult husbands or of husbands with difficult wives, or
with parishioners with pastors not virtuous, or subjects under a
dictatorial king or government.
Did
things go better after the FRENCH REVOLUTION, or after the COMMUNIST
E SOCIALISTIC REVOLUTION in Russia and in other countries???
Do things go better for the wife and children when the wife does not
do as did Saint Monica and all the holy wives in the history of the
Church?
When
Archbishop Lefebvre
was treated badly and unjustly by his fellow bishops, he broke away
and many people followed him who were looking for a hero to come and
“stomp the people who were stomping them”.
Were
not even the apostles hoping that Jesus Christ would free them from
Roman domination and “stomp the people who were stomping them”?
BUT WHAT EXAMPLE DID CHRIST GIVE US IN
THIS SITUATION? What example did all
the true saints in the history of the Church give us in similar
situations? Did Mary, the Mother of Jesus, seek a hero who would free
her divine Son during his passion??? Or did Mary totally conform her
will to the will of her divine Son who did the will of his Father in
heaven? Our human nature prefers to cut off the ear of the high
priest’s slave (Jn 18:10) than to submit to the Father’s will and
undergo the crucifixion!
In
the history of the Church, WHAT WAS THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TRUE REFORMERS AND THE FALSE REFORMERS OF THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH? Which reformers
produced truly good fruits for the Church and for souls and which
reformers produced bad fruits for the Church and for souls? It takes
time to recognize the tree by its fruits (L, 6:44; Mt 7:16-18).
Unfortunately the false reformers, who lacked true humility and
wisdom, caused considerable damage to the Church and to many
misguided souls.
“TO
THE PRIESTS OUR LADY’S BELOVED SONS” (October 18, 1975;
http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/):
“My
Adversary will one day think that he is celebrating a complete
victory: over the world, over the
Church, over souls. It will be only then that I will intervene -
terrible and victorious - that his defeat may be all the greater when
he is certain in his conviction that he has conquered once for all.
What
is in preparation is so extraordinary that its like has never
happened since the creation of the world. That is why everything has
already been predicted in the Bible. The terrible struggle between
me, the Woman Clothed with the Sun, and the Red Dragon, Satan, who
has now succeeded in seducing many even with the error of Marxist
atheism, has already been foretold to you. The struggle between the
angels together with my children and the followers of the dragon led
by the rebellious angels has already been foretold to you. Above all,
my complete victory has already been clearly foretold.
You,
my sons, have been called to live through these events.
It is now the time for you to know
this, that you may be consciously prepared for the battle. This is
now the time for me to begin disclosing part of my plan (not the plan
of Father Joe or the plan of Don Minutella!!!).
First
of all, it is necessary that my Enemy have the impression of having
conquered everything, of having everything now in his hands. This is
why he will be permitted to penetrate even into the interior of my
Church, and he will succeed in plunging the sanctuary of God into
darkness. He will reap the greatest number of victims from among the
ministers of the sanctuary.
This
will in fact be a time of great falls on the part of my beloved sons,
my priests. Satan will seduce some of
them by pride, others by love of the flesh, others by doubts, others
by unbelief, and still others by discouragement and loneliness. How
many will have doubts about my Son and about me and will believe that
this is the end of my Church!
Priests
consecrated to my Immaculate Heart, my beloved sons whom I am
gathering together for this great battle, the first weapon that you
must make use of is trust in me. It is your complete abandonment to
me. Conquer the temptation of fear, of discouragement, of sadness.
Distrust paralyzes your activity and greatly benefits my Adversary.
Be serene; be joyful!”
And
then regarding Don Minutella, there is always the danger of the
mentality of the schismatic traditionalists who lack true humility.
Visit: “The Great Difficulty In
Overcoming Pharisaism - The Difference Between Schismatic
Traditionalism and the False Pope Prophecies”
(http://schis-trad.blogspot.it/2016/05/overcoming-pharisaism.html).
When I celebrate the Mass in a parish of the diocese, during the
“Eucharistic Prayer”, I say: “Remember,
Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world, and bring her to the
fullness of charity, together with Francis our Pope and N. our Bishop
and all the clergy.” If “Pope Francis” was not canonically
elected, as is indicated in “The
“Prophecy” of Saint Francis (Assisi)”
and in many other indications
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/01/pope-benedict-xvi-force-to-resign.html),
the prayers automatically go to Pope Benedict XVI. When I celebrate
the Mass in private with friends who have their eyes open, during the
“Eucharistic Prayer”, I say: “Remember,
Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world, and bring her to the
fullness of charity, together with our Pope and N. our Bishop and all
the clergy.” For me, and I believe before God, Pope Benedict XVI is
the valid pope!
It
is not prudent or humble or in the ways of the messages “To the
Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons” for a priest, like Don
Minutella, to criticize or condemn the
priests who during the Mass name in the
Canon the name “Pope Francis”. Because many priests who say these
words, does not mean that they are not faithful to the Magisterium of
the Church of 2000 years, to the Truth that does not change with the
world. When there will be “Soon Oath of Blind Obedience to
Bergoglio”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2018/02/soon-oath-of-blind-obedience-to.html),
or “The Abomination of Desolation”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2018/04/the-abomination-of-desolation.html),
at that point when I celebrate the Mass in a parish of the diocese I
will say: “Eucharistic Prayer”, I say: “Remember,
Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world, and bring her to the
fullness of charity, together with our Pope and N. our Bishop and all
the clergy.” But when these things happen, I will lose my income,
and everything, but Our Lady will be near as she was near to Jesus on
the cross!
For
Don Minutella do say that the priests who during the Mass name in the
Canon the name “Pope Francis”, that their Mass is not valid, is
a great error and imprudence on the part of Don Minutella
and indicates the lack of humility.
During
the International Spiritual Exercises, at Collevalenza – Sanctuary
of Merciful Love (Madre Speranza), June 29 – July 5, 2003, Don
Stefano Gobbi offered to over 200
priests and to over 10 bishops of the Marian Movement of Priests the
following meditation. In the SECOND of
four meditations given by Don Stefano
Gobbi during this week of Spiritual Exercises (“The Woman Clothed
With The Sun In Search Of The Little Ones”;
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2016/02/children-of-woman.html),
he said:
“Our
Lady, however, assured: "From
the outside nothing can harm this Work."
(December 7, 1974). From the outside, that is from religious
authority, nothing will be able to harm it ... And so what does he
do? He tries to destroy it from within hitting its members. And he
strikes them in one way only: by destroying their smallness.”
In
the Blue Book, “To The Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons”
(http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/),
Our Lady tells us very often THE
FUNDAMENTAL IMPORTANCE TO BECOME SMALL,
so as to be totally docile instruments in the hands of “the Woman
clothed with the sun” (Rev 12:1) who will crush the head of the
serpent (Gen 3:15), the “great red dragon” (Rev 12:3), in this
period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21)!
IN
THE LAST SIX YEARS, NOT ONLY FR. MINUTELLA, THERE ARE MANY CARDINALS,
BISHOPS AND PRIESTS WHO ARE BEING SILENCED IN THE CHURCH IN MANY
HIDDEN WAYS:
Tosatti:
Vatican Unofficially Restricts Bishop Schneider, Cardinal Burke
(November 6, 2018;

“Behold
my doubts as a priest and religious” (Padre
Gabrielle Rossi, FAM):
Dear
readers, the letter that you find below was sent to me by a priest
and religious, belonging to a great congregation present in many
countries. It is a significant witness, which brings to light a
reality much more diffuse than what might be imagined. (…)
Since
last December I was suspended “a divinis” from being the general
superior: I can no longer celebrate Mass in public, nor preach, nor
confess. I can only celebrate privately. (…) Signed, January 16,
2019
(https://spir-food.blogspot.com/2019/02/p-gabriele-rossi-fam-suspended-divinis.html).
“A
Letter to My Bishop”
(https://spir-food.blogspot.com/2019/02/a-letter-to-my-bishop.html).
How
difficult it is to live as the saints, in particular regarding
humility and to be detached from the works.
From the Diary of Saint Faustina we read (no. 984):
“My
Jesus, I understand well that my perfection consists not in the fact
that You command me to carry out these great works of Yours-Oh
no!-the soul's greatness does not consist in this, but in great love
for You. O Jesus, in the depths of my soul I understand that the
greatest achievements cannot compare with one act of pure love for
You. I desire to be faithful to You and to do Your bidding. I am
making use of my strength and my reason to carry out all You are
asking of me, O Lord, but I have not the least shadow of attachment
to all this. I do it all because such is Your will. All my love is
drowned, not in Your works, but in You yourself, O my Creator and
Lord!”
The
Novus Ordo Mass is a good valid Mass
even though many groups, schismatic traditionalists, say that it is
not valid. The problem is that many priests and bishops do not obey
the Liturgical Books.
The
Novus Ordo Mass is valid and licit. It
was the organized bad interpretation which cause all the problems, as
was explained by Mother Angelica
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/10/politically-correct-in-church-ewtn.html)
and by Padre Gabiele Amorth
(http://www.speroforum.com/site/article.asp?id=2879;
http://www.vaticans.org/index.php?/archives/61-An-interview-with-the-Vaticans-chief-excorcist,-Father-Gabriele.html)
and by many others. Pope Benedict began the reform of the reform;
this demonstrated clearly that Pope Benedict knows well that the
Novus Ordo Mass is valid and licit, but that the problem was the lack
of obedience. To encourage people to appreciate the guidance of the
Church in the Liturgical Books and to not lose or to rediscover the
greatness of the Mass, Pope Benedict allowed all the priests in all
the dioceses of the world to be able to celebrate the Tridentine Mass
without the permission of the local bishop. Pope Benedict knew well
that the majority of the bishops do not obey the Magisterium of the
Church, both on the left and side of the spectrum, but also on the
right side of the spectrum. Pope Benedict XVI in his first homily as
pope said: “Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the
wolves.” – Pope Benedict XVI homily during papal inauguration
mass) (April 24, 2005;
http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/homilies/2005/documents/hf_ben-xvi_hom_20050424_inizio-pontificato_en.html).
Preparation
for the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION
Our
Mass right now is valid, but we are being prepared for what we read
in these prophecies. I think very few Catholics know The
Four Conditions For A Valid Mass: A
Mass of the Roman Rite is invalid: 1) WHEN the celebrant of the Mass
is not a validly ordained priest, 2) WHEN the priest does not have
the proper intention, 3) WHEN wheat bread or grape wine is not used,
4) or WHEN the words “This is my Body” or “This is … my
Blood” are not SAID
(not silently)
by the Priest during the consecration of the Mass.
(http://www.cuf.org/faithfacts/details_view.asp?ffID=188).
Most
likely the hidden nullification of the Mass will be done by not
fulfilling the fourth condition.
THE
FOURTH CONDITION FOR A VALID MASS IS THE FORM:
Christ
took the bread and the cup and gave thanks; He broke the bread and
gave it to his disciples, saying: "Take and eat, this is my
body." Giving the cup, he said: "Take and drink, this is
the cup of my blood. Do this in memory of me." Accordingly, the
Church has planned the celebration of the Eucharistic liturgy around
the parts corresponding to these words and actions of Christ. The key
phrases which confect the Eucharist are "This is My Body"
and "This is ... My Blood," which when SAID
(not silently)
by a priest with the proper intention and matter, truly show the
priest acts in the Person of Christ. The other parts of the
Eucharistic prayer are, according to St. Ambrose (also quoted in
Summa Theologica), essentially preparatory; "by
all the other words spoken, praise is rendered to God, prayer is put
up for the people, for kings, for others, but when the time comes for
perfecting the Sacrament, the priest no longer uses his own words but
the words of Christ." St. Thomas
Aquinas also explains this requirement in great detail in the Summa
Theologica (Third Part, Question 78, Articles 1 through 6). Changing
the words of the preparatory parts of the Eucharistic prayer is
illicit and gravely sinful for the priest, but would not invalidate
the Eucharist as long as "This is My Body" and "This
is ... My Blood" are SAID
(not silently).
THE
CATECHISM OF THE COUNCIL OF TRENT (or The Catechism for Parish
Priests) states very precisely that “the
form consists of these words: This is My Body and This is ... My
Blood”.
“The
ESSENTIAL
signs of the Eucharistic sacrament are wheat bread and grape wine, on
which the blessing of the Holy Spirit is invoked and the priest
PRONOUNCES
the words of consecration spoken by Jesus during the Last Supper:
“This is my body which will be given up for you.... This is the cup
of my blood....”.” (CCC 1412).
Abate
Ildebrand Scicolone, OSB, blasoned
liturgists and fixed guest for the weekly liturgies of the CEI, who
goes around Italy to teach the catechists, said: “If one does not
believe that there is the body of Christ in a Host, in reality you
eat only bread, the sacrament does not arrive but not only in the
sense that it is not arrived at in the sacrament, but also that in
that bread there is not Jesus” (“IF ONE DOES NOT BELIEVE”!?!?!)!
The presence of Jesus in the EUCHARIST
does not depend on what a human being thinks or believes; it depends
on God!?!?! Have we totally lost the
faith, and there are no bishops to protect the sheep from the wolves
such as Abate Ildebrand Scicolone, OSB?!?!?
There is nothing new under the sun; most protestants have had similar
beliefs for centuries! The pastors are forced (by Card. Vallini) to
buy the so-called “The Eucharist Makes the Church” ("L'Eucarestia
fà la Chiesa") (edited by Abate Scicolone, OSB), which is full
of liturgical inaccuracies and doctrinal errors, that MUST be given
to each catechist!
We
find in this new catechism A REDUCTION OF THE EUCHARISTIC REALISM,
to consider, that is, the Eucharist almost as only a rite of
communion, of socialization, forgetting very easily that in the
Eucharist there is truly present Christ risen – with his risen
Body.
The
Eucharistic doctrine of Scicolone is perfectly super imposable to
that of Kiko and Carmen (NEOCATECUMENAL WAY),
since the liturgist that was his teacher is of the same school of the
innovators of the post councilors that greatly impressed the young
Carmen. Compare Scicolone’s teaching aid with the catechism on the
Eucharist that Kiko and Carmen hold during the Retreat of the Amen
(Convivenza dell'Amen), at the end of the initial catechism. One does
not find any difference: the substitution of the dogmas of Faith in
the Redemption and in the expiatory-propitiatory Sacrifice of Christ
with the Father, with the Pasqual mystery of passage from death to
life of the Lord, which makes them say that it is not with the
Holocaust of Christ on the Cross by which we are saved, but only with
His resurrection from the dead. Because of this the Mass is no longer
an all-consuming contemplation-adoration of the offering of Love of a
God who is consumed for us, to which we unite our little personal
cross, but it becomes a jolly festive banquet of the remembrance of
Easter, that draws everyone from death to life (without any
importance given to how much this giving of life to us cost Jesus.).
Visit: “Neocatecumenal Way - a Trojan Horse in the Church”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.com/2018/07/neocatecumenal-way-trojan-horse-in.html).
CONTRAST
THIS WITH THE TEACHINGS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
regarding the Most Holy Eucharist in the Catechism of the Catholic
Church (CCC 1356-1381;
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P41.HTM).
I
believe that we will lose the Eucharist in all the public churches of
the world by way of a new Missal, probably during the first half of
2021 (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2016/12/signs-god-vs-satan.html).
But before this great sacrilege of a mandatory invalid mass for all
priests and bishops under the jurisdiction of the false pope, I
believe the false pope will demand an Oath
of Blind Obedience from all the priests
and bishops under his jurisdiction
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2018/02/soon-oath-of-blind-obedience-to.html;
https://josephdwight.wordpress.com/2018/02/14/soon-oath-of-blind-obedience-to-bergoglio/)!
I believe also that the two corresponding prophecies of Lucia of
Fatima and of Saint Pope Pius X will be fulfilled before we lose the
Eucharist, that is, at some time in the future Pope
“Joseph” will be killed! (“Saint
Peter returns the keys to Jesus”;
http://spir-food.blogspot.com/2018/09/saint-peter-returns-keys-to-jesus.html;
https://josephdwight.wordpress.com/2018/09/17/saint-peter-returns-the-keys-to-jesus/).
The Freemasons can also employ various diversions or distractions at
their disposal, even terrorism and major conflicts, so as to take our
attention away from the greatest devastation of taking away the
Eucharist in all the public churches in the world. In any case, how
many bishops, priests or lay people know the four conditions
necessary for a valid Mass, or even care?!?
SAINT
PADRE PIO said: "It would be
easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do so without
the HOLY MASS."
This saint also said: “The ROSARY
is the weapon for these times”!
“In
those confusing years after the Second Vatican Council when many
priests left the priesthood, it seemed up for grabs the doctrines and
the liturgical ceremonies of the Catholic Church. I have since
discovered how the forces of evil were
rather well
organized right after the council to interpret the documents of the
council in a false way so as to change
the true teachings of the Church in the Catholic universities and
seminaries so as to lead, in a subtle and prideful way, many
Catholics, priests and seminarians away from the true teachings of
the Church”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2016/05/is-pope-catholic.html).
During
the International Spiritual Exercises, at Collevalenza – Sanctuary
of Merciful Love (Madre Speranza), June 22-28, 2008, Father Michael
Gaughran offered to over 200 priests and to over 10 bishops of the
movement these words in a meditation, with the title of the
meditation, “The Church, The Movement and
the current times”
(http://wordbelife.blogspot.it/2014/11/spiritual-food-1411.html):
“[IT
IS AN ATTACK ON THE TRUTH OF GOD.]
It
grew gradually. It is enough to think of a subtle change that
happened around the time of the Second Vatican Council. With the
arrival of the “experts” there developed the fashion of
theologians (Note 1), regardless of whether or not they deserved the
name; the fact that they had published a book, in general that was
enough. This continues and, with this, the center that guides the
Church in the minds of many, has shifted from where God had placed
it, in the hierarchy, the Pope and the bishops in union with him, and
became the various opinions of all sorts of writers. [The students
collected the books.] So, this has had an impact not only on the
priests, but also on seminarians in many universities. This is the
first part of the attack: the attack on the truth of God, the
foundation of the Church. (…)”
It
is much easier to put the blame on the highest ones in charge instead
of making an examination of con science on how each of us have
contributed to the confusion in the Church today. The “schismatic
traditionalists” often put the blame on the highest ones in charge
and thus also the Second Vatican Council instead of the great number
of priests and bishops today who do not obey the true documents of
the Council and the Liturgical Books of the Catholic Church and thus
modify the Holy Mass as they want and how the people who want to put
man at the center of the Liturgy instead of maintaining God at the
center of the Holy Mass!!! “The
liturgy is a gift to be received in humility, not something we
construct for ourselves, not a fabrication”
(The Titular Bishop of Manaccenser and Auxiliary Bishop of Melbourne,
Most Rev. Peter J. Elliott, MA Oxon, MA Melb, STD; “The
Neocatecumenal Mass”;
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2015/02/the-neocatecumenal-mass.html).
What could Pope Paul VI, Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI do
if the great majority of the bishops and priests do not obey?!?
A
Mass of the Roman Rite is invalid: 1) WHEN
the celebrant of the Mass is not a validly ordained priest, 2) WHEN
the priest does not have the proper intention (that is, the priest
has the intention to do what the Church would do), 3) WHEN wheat
bread or grape wine is not used, 4) or WHEN the words “This is my
Body” or “This is … my Blood” are not SAID
(not silently)
by the Priest during the consecration of the Mass. (“Soon No More
Eucharist!”;
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/03/soon-no-more-eucharist.html).
THAT
WHICH DON MINUTELLA AND OTHERS ARE TRYING TO INSINUATE
recently is that if “Pope Francis” does not believe in the
divinity of Jesus Christ, as did many Arian bishops more than 1600
years ago, all the Masses celebrated by
priests who say the phrase in the
“Eucharistic Prayer”: “Remember,
Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world, and bring her to the
fullness of charity, together with Francis our Pope (“una cum” –
in union with “Pope
Francis”) and N. our Bishop and all the clergy” is
not valid! It is true that if a priest
(or a bishop) “manifests”
his intentions openly to not believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ,
then his mass is not valid because “the
priest does not have the proper intention”. Regarding “2) WHEN
the priest does not have the proper intention (that is, the priest
has the intention to do what the Church would do), IF
A PRIEST IS TOTALLY DISTRACTED OR EVEN IN MORTAL SIN, THE MASS IS
VALID AND THERE IS THE EUCHARIST, even
though the priest in mortal sin commits another mortal sin
(sacrilege!) because he celebrated in the state of mortal sin. The
Mass depends on God, expressed in the phrase in Latin, “Ex opera
operato”, otherwise, the Church (and the Mass) would have ended
centuries ago, because Jesus founded his Church on twelve sinful
apostles, not twelve perfect angels from heaven. The fact that the
Church is still here on the earth after more than 2000 years, is a
great proof that the Church, the Body of Christ, is not only human
but also divine, as Jesus has two natures: human and divine!
Up
until a about year ago, Don Minutella
limited himself to explaining clearly how “Pope Francis” has
promoted many heretical and destructive things. But now he is saying
to people that all the Masses are invalid when the priest who during
the Mass names in the Canon the name “Pope Francis”!
“EX
OPERE OPERATO” is a Latin expression of the Catholic doctrine about
the sacraments.
It
literally means “by the fact itself of having done it”. It refers
to the fact that in the sacraments the sin of the minister cannot
invalidate the result of the sacramental action. For example,
sacramental absolution given by a priest in mortal sin maintains all
of its validity, since the minister has the intention to do what the
Church would do.
The
use of the expression was developed in the Catholic Church on the
occasion of the opposition with the protestant doctrine: Martin
Luther held the idea in fact that a priest in mortal sin could not
administer the sacraments.
There
is contrasted with “ex opera operantis”, which to the contrary
affirms the necessity of the holiness of the minister for the
sacrament to be valid.
In
a similar way, the same Council of Trent, defined the infallibility
of the pope, which does not depend on the personal holiness of the
pope, but on the promise of Christ.
THE
TEACHING OF THE COUNCIL OF TRENT:
The
Council of Trent defined on March 3 1547 against Luther that the
sacraments confer grace “ex opera operato” (can. 8), and thus
depend on God (can. 7):
“If
anyone shall say, that by the said sacraments of the New Law grace is
not conferred through the act performed (ex opera operato) but that
faith alone in the divine promise suffices for obtaining grace; let
him be anathema.” (Sess. VII, ca. 8; Denz 1611).
The
phrase “ex opere operato”, as one can deduce from the discussions
of the fathers of Trent, does not mean “automatically”, almost as
if the sacraments might be magic rites, that act on a person
independent of the person’s will, but rather means “independently
from the intentions NOT MANIFESTED
by the minister”, to which is asked
to put exactly the sign “at least with the intention to do what the
Church does” (can. 11), that is at least with the intention to
carry out the sacred rite.
The
purpose of this clarification, wanted
by the council, was to take away from the faithful any doubt of
conscience on the validity of a sacrament in the case of a minister
who “fakes it” in administering the sacrament, but with the
intention, non manifested, to not administer it. The Council says: if
the minister has carried out correctly the rite (ex opera operato),
God has worked and thus “ex parte Dei (= “for that which depends
on God”) the sacrament is complete.
For
the efficaciousness of the sacrament there can be lacking on the part
that depends on the Christian, but regarding the possible bad
dispositions that could render the sacrament non efficacious, he
cannot not be conscious of, because the bad dispositions must be
“manifested”
by the minister of the sacrament.
The
Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC; ed. 1992, promulgated by Pope
John Paul II; http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HTM)
explains “ex opere operato”: CCC 1127-1128.
This
above all does not mean that every priest who during the Mass names
in the Canon the name “Pope Francis” believes
as “Pope Francis” believes, that is, this does not mean that all
the priests who had an Arian bishop more than 1600 years ago believed
AS DID THEIR ARIAN BISHOPS!
Now
to put in a difficult situation the simple faithful, TO
DEPRIVE TODAY, in a very perverse world, the faithful of the
traditional Mass because it is
celebrated naming in the Canon the name of “Pope Francis” IS
A GREAT IMPRUDENCE AND ERROR, which
exposes the conscientious faithful to the proximate risk of not being
able to live in the state of habitual grace, depriving them of all
the Sacraments administered “una cum”. Holy Mother Church, in the
Council of Trent, did the exact opposite, that is, to dispel from the
faithful every doubt of conscience on the validity of a sacrament in
the case of a minister who “fakes it” in administering the
sacrament, but with the intention, non manifested, to not administer
it. If there was not this “SILENCE OF
THE MARIAN MOVEMENT OF PRIESTS”,
there would be much less temptation for the members of the MMP to be
deceived by Don Minutella or by other groups or by schismatic
traditionalist groups, as Professor Don Ivan Pojavnik wrote: “In
addition, by virtue of its ambiguity, the circular letter has led a
number of members away from the Movement of Our Lady to another
movement. … Don Stefano said, "We must be intelligent
children, that is, children with open
eyes, and not stupid children, that is,
with eyes closed”." The devil wants those few people who have
not followed the easy way of “ignorance is bliss” and have
struggled to keep their eyes open to the hidden and dangerous
pitfalls of the devil, and thus Satan offers subtle temptations that
can deprive these people in the state of grace the sacraments or to
at least to lead them outside of the true Church which is undergoing
the crucifixion with Jesus in the period!
As
written above, let us repeat for clarity in this case.
The
key phrases which confect the
Eucharist are "THIS IS MY BODY"
and "THIS IS ... MY BLOOD,"
which when SAID
(not silently)
by a priest with the proper intention and matter, truly show the
priest acts in the Person of Christ. The other parts of the
Eucharistic prayer are, according to St. Ambrose (also quoted in
Summa Theologica), ESSENTIALLY
PREPARATORY; "by
all the other words spoken, praise is rendered to God, prayer is put
up for the people, for kings, for others, but when the time comes for
perfecting the Sacrament, the priest no longer uses his own words but
the words of Christ." St. Thomas
Aquinas explains this requirement in great detail in the Summa
Theologica (Third Part, Question 78, Articles 1 through 6). Changing
the words of the preparatory parts of the Eucharistic prayer is
illicit and gravely sinful for the priest, but would not invalidate
the Eucharist as long as "This is My Body" and "This
is ... My Blood" are SAID
(not silently).
This
means that if the priest says (not silently) during the Mass, "This
is My Body" and "This is ... My Blood," with the
proper matter (bread and wine) and intention (what the Church intends
to do), the Mass is valid. Thus as St. Ambrose and St. Augustine and
St. Thomas tell us, all the other words outside of the words of the
consecration, "This is My Body" and "This is ... My
Blood," are “ESSENTIALLY
PREPARATORY”
and thus do not change the validity of the Mass, even if a priest
says the words, as he has said since the time of his ordination to
the priesthood, in the “Eucharistic Prayer”: “Remember,
Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world, and bring her to the
fullness of charity, together with N. (name of present pope) our Pope
and N. our Bishop and all the clergy”! This
phrase does not at all alter the validity of the Mass
as the Church has always taught since the time of St. Augustine!
Thus,
totally contrary to what Don Alessandro Minutella says to his
followers and to his YouTube viewers, ALL
the MASSES celebrated by priests
who say the phrase in the “Eucharistic
Prayer”: “Remember, Lord, your Church,
spread throughout the world, and bring her to the fullness of
charity, together with N. (name of present pope, “Francis”) our
Pope and N. our Bishop and all the clergy” are
VALID!
To
repeat this concept a little more clearly and simply, Jesus
is the primary minister of the sacraments,
and thus the individual who is administering the sacrament does not
have to be in the state of grace to confect the sacrament validly. As
an example, a non baptized person and not in the state of grace can
baptize validly. But this also holds with regard even to the
priesthood and going to Mass. So if you go to Mass and the priest is
in the state of mortal sin, the Mass is valid. The Donatists in the
time of St. Augustine held that the priest had to be in the state of
sanctifying grace in order for the sacrament to be valid. Saint
Augustine said no to the Donatists, because it is Jesus Himself who
is the primary minister of the Mass, not the priest. And thus even if
the priest is in the state of mortal sin, the Mass would still be
valid provided that he had the right intention, the right words and
the right matter of bread and wine.
Charismatic
gifts are given for the sake of someone else.
These gifts have nothing to do with the holiness of the individual
who has the gift, even though in our humanness we tend to get caught
up in that if someone is speaking in tongues or if someone has the
gift of healing or whatever, and we think that they must really be
holy. This is not necessarily true at all! It is just the person to
whom God chose to give that gift. The priesthood is a charismatic
gift and thus this gift is given not because of the holiness of the
individual, but rather it is given for the sake of other people. Thus
if God can use any of the charismatic gifts, even if the person is in
the state of mortal sin, and the priesthood is a charismatic gift,
that too can be exercised even if the priest is in the state of
mortal sin.
What
the Donatists said is that both orthodoxy as well as being in the
state of grace are necessary for the validity of the sacraments.
It was St. Augustine who was the opponent of the Donatists in this
case, and he said that since Christ is the primary minister of the
sacraments, their objective efficacy and validity do not depend on
the subjective state of the minister. What is necessary is that the
individual who is performing the sacramental rite confers the
sacramental sign through the proper matter and form while having the
proper intention. Having said that, the person who is actually
performing the sacrament is bound by conscious to administer the
sacrament in the state of grace. So the sacrament is still valid even
if the minister is in the state of mortal sin, but he is bound by
conscience to be in the state of grace when he is saying Mass or
hearing confessions or whatever the case may be. To do otherwise
would be a sacrilege. So if a priest is in the state of mortal sin
when he says Mass, he commits a sacrilege. At the same time however,
we need to be clear, that the Church actually says that if the
priest, let’s say that a priest goes out on Saturday night and does
something really idiotic and now is in the state of mortal sin, what
is he supposed to do on Sunday morning? The Church says you say Mass
for the people. The priest could come out and say that I’m in the
state of mortal sin and so I cannot say Mass. That will not fly too
well. The people are there; they have a right to have Mass and the
Church says at that point, for the good of the people, the greater
good is the good of the people, even though it is a sacrilege on the
part of the priest. For the sake of the people of God it is a
necessity to have their confessions heard or as the case may be.
Another
reason for removing the sacraments from the subjective state of the
minister is to provide certainty and peace of mind for the faithful.
Think about this for a second. What would happen if every Sunday you
came to church and you had to wonder if the priest was in the state
of grace or not. Another words, if as the Donatists said that the
sacraments are valid only if the priest is in the state of grace, and
if he is not, then it is an invalid sacrament, and you did not
receive Communion, you did not receive Jesus, according to the
Donatists. So what the Church says, you should not have to wonder
about whether or not the priest is in the state of grace or in the
state of mortal sin, when you come to Mass. The Church tells us that
it is the Lord who is going to do this; yes He is going to work
through the human person, it is the Lord who is doing it. And
therefore we do not have to worry about the subjective state of the
priest. The priest has to worry about his own subjective state just
as each one of us need to worry about our own subjective state. But
it is not our concern whether the priest is in the state of mortal
sin or not when it comes to the validity of the sacraments.
Yes,
I do believe we will soon lose the Eucharist in all the public
churches of the world with a new Roman Missal for the whole world in
which the consecration of the Mass will be deleted or there will no
longer be the words, "THIS IS MY
BODY" and "THIS
IS ... MY BLOOD," SAID
(not silently).
This will happen “before the manifestation of the Antichrist, “the
continual burnt offering” (Dan 8:11; 12:11), will be taken away,
and the “sacrifice and offering” will cease (Dan 9:27), which
Jesus foretold (Mt 24:15). This sacrilege
is the ultimate “ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION”
(Mt 24:15; Mk 13:14; 2Thess 2:3-4; Dan 9:27; 11:31; 12:11)!” (“The
Abomination of Desolation”;
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2018/04/the-abomination-of-desolation.html).
I personally believe that this will happen around Easter 2021 and
will last for three and a half years until the end of the period of
the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21) (“Signs of God vs. Signs of
Satan”;
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2016/12/signs-god-vs-satan.html).
“And from the time that the continual burnt offering is taken away,
and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be a
thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he who waits and
comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days” (Dan
12:11-12; 7:25; 9:27). PERHAPS
“comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days”, which
is 45 days after the end of the “abomination that makes desolate is
set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days”,
will correspond to the feast day of Christ the King, November 24,
2024, which PERHAPS
will be the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of the
universe!?!
We
have not yet arrived to “The
Abomination of Desolation”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2018/04/the-abomination-of-desolation.html),
when it will be ordered from the summit of the church to change the
Liturgy of the Holy Mass, in the whole world, to the point that the
Mass will no longer be valid in all the public churches. When we
arrive to the Abomination of Desolation it will be much worse than
today: “The moments which are approaching are more
serious than you can possibly imagine”
(“To the Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons”; May 20, 1974), as
indicated also by Jesus (Mt 24:15)! Certainly, there are already some
priests and bishops who are doing a liturgy of the “Mass” with
the protestants, and do not “say” the words of the consecration.
This is the moment of the crucifixion of the Body of Christ, the
Church (CCC 675-677); we must have patience and good will, without
the hidden pride of protagonism in the name of Mary or of Jesus or
crusaders for the “truth”, in order to remain at the foot of the
cross with Mary, to not run away with a particular group as those of
the “schismatic traditionalists” or with a group with Don
Minutella. I have already tried that way with my parents and with my
sister (http://necedah-cult.blogspot.com)
which does not lead to true humility with Mary at the foot of the
cross, but to pride and to feel better than the others, and to
condemn the others, in the sectarian mentality. I do not want to
repeat my mistakes
(http://schis-trad.blogspot.it/2008/03/rebuttal-to-schismatic-traditionalists.html)!
During
the consecration of the Mass, if the words “This is my Body” and
“This is … my Blood” are not SAID
(not
silently) by the Priest the mass is
invalid, the bread remains bread and the wine remains wine and there
is not the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ present.
Such a mass would be a great SACRILEGE!!!
Let
us read the words “To the Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons”
(December 31, 1992; http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/),
to understand that this “Abomination
of Desolation” is not a question of
saying or not saying “together with
Francis our Pope and N. our Bishop ...”, but there will be “The
Abomination of Desolation” when the
Liturgy of the Mass will be changed by the false pope, by the “man
of lawlessness”, from the summit of the church in all the public
church in the world:
“The
fourth sign is the horrible sacrilege,
perpetrated by him who sets himself against Christ, that is, the
Antichrist. He will enter into the holy temple of God and will sit on
his throne and have himself adored as God.
`This
one will oppose and exalt himself against everything that men adore
and call God. The lawless one will come by the power of Satan, with
all the force of false miracles and pretended wonders. He will make
use of every kind of wicked deception, in order to work harm.' (cf.
2Thes 2:4,9-10)
`One
day, you will see in the holy place he who commits the horrible
sacrilege. The prophet Daniel spoke of
this. Let the reader seek to
understand.' (cf. Mt 24:15)
Beloved
children, in order to understand in what this horrible
sacrilege consists, read what has been
predicted by the prophet Daniel: `Go, Daniel; these words are to
remain secret and sealed until the end time. Many will be cleansed,
made white and upright, but the wicked will persist in doing wrong.
Not one of the wicked will understand these things, but the wise will
comprehend.
`Now,
from the moment that the daily Sacrifice is abolished and the
horrible abomination is set up, there shall be one thousand two
hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he who waits with patience and
attains one thousand three hundred and
thirty-five days.' (Dn 12:9-12)
The
Holy Mass is the daily Sacrifice, the pure oblation which offered to
the Lord everywhere, from the rising of the sun to its going down.
The
Sacrifice of the Mass renews that which was accomplished by Jesus on
Calvary. By accepting the Protestant
doctrine, people will hold that the Mass is not a sacrifice but only
a sacred meal, that is to say, a
remembrance of that which Jesus did at his Last Supper. And thus, the
celebration of Holy Mass will be suppressed. In this abolition of the
daily Sacrifice consists the horrible sacrilege accomplished by the
Antichrist, which will last about three and a half years, namely, one
thousand two hundred and ninety days.
The
prophet Daniel tells us: “And from the time that the continual
burnt offering is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is
set up …” (Dan 12:11). This speaks of A TIME, A SPECIFIC MOMENT
when “the continual burnt offering is taken away”! Before the
manifestation of the Antichrist, “the continual burnt offering”
(Dan 8:11; 12:11), will be taken away, and the “sacrifice and
offering” will cease (Dan 9:27), which Jesus repeated (Mt 24:15).
This sacrilege is the ultimate “Abomination of Desolation” (Mt
24:15; Mk 13:14; 2Thess 2:3-4; Dan 9:27; 11:31; 12:11)! And Our Lady
tells us, “And thus, the celebration of Holy Mass WILL BE
SUPPRESSED”, and also, “which will last about three and a half
years, namely, one thousand two hundred and ninety days”, which
again, indicates A TIME, A SPECIFIC
MOMENT!
This
period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21), of the “Abomination
of Desolation”, is a very specific period. Certainly the followers
of the Antichrist will slowly prepare for this period. But this
period when there will not be the Most Holy Eucharist in the public
churches throughout the world will last three and a half years. Our
Lady tells us:
“The
Sacrifice of the Mass renews that which was accomplished by Jesus on
Calvary. By accepting the Protestant doctrine, people will hold that
the Mass is not a sacrifice but only a sacred meal, that is to say, a
remembrance of that which Jesus did at his Last Supper. And thus, the
celebration of Holy Mass will be suppressed. In this abolition of the
daily Sacrifice consists the horrible sacrilege
accomplished by the Antichrist, which
will last about three and a half years, namely, ONE
THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY DAYS”
(December 31, 1992; “To The Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons”;
http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/).
A
few passages of Our Lady that refer to the Abomination of Desolation:
“My
Church will be shaken by the violent wind of apostasy and unbelief,
as he who sets himself against Christ will enter into its interior,
thus bringing to fulfillment the HORRIBLE ABOMINATION which has been
prophesied to you in Holy Scripture. Humanity will know the bloody
hour of its chastisement: it will be stricken with the scourge of
epidemics, of hunger and of fire; much blood will be spilt upon your
roads; war will spread everywhere, bringing down upon the world
incommensurable devastation” (March 15, 1993).
“The
time will come when, unfortunately, this error will have even more
supporters; and in the Church, the perfume of adoration and of the
Holy Sacrifice will be, as it were, extinguished. And thus the
ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which has already made its way into the
holy temple of God, will reach its culmination” (December 24,
1977).
“The
man of iniquity will enter into her interior, and he will bring to
its culmination the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION, foretold in the Holy
Scriptures. r Do not lose courage, beloved children” (January 1,
1994).
“There
will enter into the Church the man of iniquity, who opposes himself
to Christ, and who will bring into her interior the ABOMINATION OF
DESOLATION, thus bringing to fulfillment the horrible sacrilege, of
which the prophet Daniel has spoken. (cf. Mt 24:15). My secret
concerns humanity. Humanity will reach the summit of corruption and
impiety, of rebellion against God and of open opposition to his Law
of love. It will know the hour of its greatest chastisement, which
has already been foretold to you by the prophet Zechariah. (cf. Zec
13:7-9). Then this place will appear to all as a bright sign of my
motherly presence in the supreme hour of your great tribulation. From
here my light will spread to every part of the world, and from this
fount will gush the water of divine mercy, which will descend to
irrigate the barrenness of a world, now reduced to an immense desert.
And in this, my extraordinary work of love and of salvation, there
will appear to all the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of her who is
invoked as the Mother of Mercy." (March 11, 1995).
“When
there will have entered into her the man of iniquity, who will bring
to fulfillment the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which will reach its
climax in the horrible sacrilege, as the great apostasy will have
spread everywhere, then my Immaculate Heart will gather together the
little faithful remnant which, in suffering, in prayer and in hope,
will await the return of my Son Jesus in glory” (May 13, 1994).
“This
merciful action of mine will be exercised in helping her to carry the
cross of betrayal and abandonment, when the apostasy becomes general
and the man of iniquity foretold by Sacred Scripture enters her, he
who will bring the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION into her interior. My
merciful action will become still stronger when my children will be
persecuted and imprisoned, tormented and led to martyrdom. It is then
that I will manifest myself to them in an extraordinary way,
according to a mysterious design which my Immaculate Heart has, for a
long time now, already outlined in all its particulars.”
It
is not easy in this “thick, cold fog”
of the greatest confusion in the history of the Church. Our Lady
tells us: “Darkness, with a thick, cold fog, has entered the
Church, obscuring it in the splendor of its truth. For this reason,
every day, my word is forming you to the spirit of wisdom, that you
may always see, in the light, the truth which my Son has taught you
and proclaim it with courage to all in its integrity.” (“To the
Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons”; February 9, 1985). For many of
the faithful there is a great desire to have a strong guide in this
period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21), in this period of
our just punishment from God. “The good as well as the bad” will
suffer!
In
the final message of the Blessed Virgin,
October 13, 1973, on the anniversary of the last apparition and of
the miracle of Fatima, at Akita,
Japan, she said to Sister Agnes Sasagawa: “As
I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father
will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a
punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen
before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of
humanity, THE GOOD AS WELL AS THE BAD,
SPARING NEITHER PRIESTS NOR FAITHFUL. The survivors will find
themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms
that will remain for you will be the Rosary and Sign left by My Son.
Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. WITH
THE ROSARY, PRAY FOR THE POPE, THE
BISHOPS, AND THE PRIESTS. The work of the devil will infiltrate even
the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing
cardinals, bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate Me
will be scorned and opposed by their conferees, churches and altars
sacked, the Church will be full of those
who accept compromise and the demon
will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of
the Lord. The demon will be especially implacable against souls
consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the
cause of My sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there
will be no longer pardon for them.”
(http://www.miraclerosarymission.org/akita.htm).
Pope
John Paul II said to a group of pilgrims in
Fulda, West Germany, in November 1980, speaking about the secrets of
Fatima, that: “We have to be prepared to suffer, before long, great
trials which will require of us the disposition to sacrifice even our
life for Christ. Through your prayers and mine, it is still possible
to diminish this trial (predicted at Fatima), but it is no longer
possible to avert it, because only in
this manner can the Church be effectively renewed. How many times
has the renewal of the Church been brought about in blood!
It will not be different this time.”
A
woman in Perugia, who organizes the Bus to go to the Cenacles in
Umbria, more than a year ago treated me
badly, without respect, because on the Bus I gave to a few people
Padre Quartilio’s letter; she said to me that Don Roberto A. says
that you cannot give anything written to the people. I did not return
to that bus. Later I said to this woman that Don
Roberto A. does not have the authority to command anyone.
How many times in the Blue Book Our Lady told us that She is the head
of the Movement, and no one else. Don Laurent L. does not have the
authority do command anyone. But the people who are not mature only
know how to command in a structure (which Our Lady does not want in
the MMP), instead of dialogue to seek the truth, that comes from God,
together, with the help of the documents of the Church and also from
the Blue Book. When I said to a priest in my area that if I follow my
head (instead of God) I will go to hell, this priest strongly
objected because, as so many priests today, is totally in the
mentality of subjectivism and relativism, which means that the truth
comes from ones own head!!!
As
Padre Quartilio G. explained well in his letters, it
is Our Lady who is in charge of the cohort who will crush the head of
the ancient (Gen 3:15), as Saint Louis
de Montfort explained well 300 years ago in his classic book: “True
Devotion to Mary”.
“As
for the rest, leave it to me. THIS IS MY WORK ALONE, and no one will
touch it, because I am jealous of it with the very jealousy of God.
This work is willed by me for the great triumph of God and the
conclusive defeat of Satan. Do not become uneasy if you find that
movements inspired by souls to whom I have revealed myself are
springing up here and there: on the contrary, all is part of my great
plan. And so each thing must be in its place. Your place is the
Marian Movement of Priests. Through my priests, an immense number of
the laity will again be consecrated to my Heart and entrust
themselves completely to me. With simplicity and WITHOUT
ORGANIZATION, let them give themselves
to me as a little child gives himself completely to his own Mother”
(June 7, 1975; “To the Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons”;
February 9, 1985; http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/).
Our
Lady did not say that no INTERNAL interference
will be able to harm this work of mine, but she said:
“No
OUTSIDE
interference will be able to harm this work of mine” (July 30,
1974; May 27, 1974; December 7, 1974).
“For
my Movement of Priests, I will manifest myself through you, you, AND
NO OTHERS (not Don Laurent L.!!!); you
are the instrument chosen by me for this mission. This must be
understood by everyone in order to avoid any confusion whatsoever
with which my Adversary will attempt to obscure my work. Those who
will accept it through you will receive the gift of my most pure
light" (August 23, 1975).
“Difficulties,
misunderstandings and sufferings are permitted by me that
this work of mine may be purified yet more.
I want it to be purified of every human element that it may thus
reflect only my most pure light” (May 3, 1976).
Don
Stefano Gobbi was humble and was very
happy that Our Lady guided all in the Movement. In the “Introduction”
of the Blue Book one finds:
“In
these times of grave danger, the Mother of God and of the Church is
taking action, without hesitation or uncertainty, to assist first and
foremost the priests, who are the sons of her maternal predilection.
Quite naturally, this work makes use of certain instruments; and in a
particular way Don Stefano Gobbi has been chosen. Why? In one passage
of the book, the following explanation is given: "I have chosen
you because you are the least APT
INSTRUMENT; thus no one will say that
this is your work. The Marian Movement of Priests must be my work
alone. Through your weakness I will manifest my strength; through
your nothingness I will manifest my power." (July 16, 1973).”
"You
have not understood, my son, that I have
chosen foolishness to confound wisdom, and weakness to vanquish
strength” (September 27, 1973).
I
do not believe that Don Laurent L. believes to be foolishness or
weakness; this is why Don Laurent L
does not dialogue with people who he considers to be foolishness and
weakness, with people who are not at his level of intelligence and
wisdom, who are not in agreement with him! I believe also that after
the stroke of Mother Angelica
(the founder of the worldwide television channel, “The Eternal Word
Television Network” (EWTN) in 2001, many of the ones in charge of
EWTN believed to have more intelligence and wisdom than Mother
Angelica
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/10/politically-correct-in-church-ewtn.html).
From
the “True Devotion To Mary” by
Saint Louis Mary de Montfort, we read:
“But
Mary's power over the evil spirits will especially shine forth in the
latter times, when Satan will lie in wait for her heel, that is, for
her humble servants and her poor children whom she will rouse to
fight against him. In the eyes of the
world they will be little and poor and, like the heel, lowly in the
eyes of all, downtrodden and crushed as is the heel by the other
parts of the body. But in compensation for this they will be rich in
God's graces, which will be abundantly bestowed on them by Mary. They
will be great and exalted before God in holiness. They will be
superior to all creatures by their great zeal and so strongly will
they be supported by divine assistance that, in union with Mary, they
will crush the head of Satan with their heel, that is, their
humility, and bring victory to Jesus Christ.” (no.
54).
Assunta,
you wrote: “Also Pope John Paul II,
perhaps having perceived something, warned the cardinals …” You
will find in the article “Pope
Benedict XVI Forced To Resign”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/01/pope-benedict-xvi-force-to-resign.html)
that Pope John Paul II’s Apostolic Constitution Universi Domini
Gregis clearly forbids the cardinals and bishops, under pain of
automatic excommunication (i.e. immediately imposed, without
necessity of declaration), the canvassing for votes to manipulate the
Church. The constitution of a “Mafia” like the Sankt-Gallen group
is in clear violation of that papal order. In another section
“Universi Domini Gregis”, Pope John Paul II expounded further on
this. I believe that there was a coup
d’etat, to manipulate the Church, not only at the conclave of 2013,
but also something similar in the Marian Movement of Priests
after the death of Don Stefano Gobbi! “Only a remnant of the
Movement will be ready for the heroic climb of Calvary up to the end,
but with this remnant Our Lady will obtain her triumph.” The
vote of a cardinal in a conclave, who has been automatically
excommunicated is not valid.!!! This is the first proof (among
others!) that Bergoglio was not elected canonically, as Saint Francis
of Assisi warned us about centuries ago!
If
you read the book by ANTONIO SOCCI
“It is not Francis” (in Italian: “Non è Francesco”) and then
his successive articles, one discovers founded motives for the
invalidity of the election of Bergoglio that contradict in many
points the regulations of the conclave:
The
successive articles in Italian of Socci which demonstrate the
invalidity of the election of Bergoglio:
L’anticipazione
Della Premessa Di “NON E’ Francesco” E Delle Prime Pagine Del
Capitolo Sul Conclave Del 2013
- Anche I Bergogliani Sono Ormai Sconcertati Da Bergoglio (LA Mia Risposta Alla Canonista Sull’invalidita’ Del Conclave 2013)
Come
Sara’ Il Giubileo (MENTRE Si Scoprono Due Nuove Irregolarita’ Del
Conclave)
It
is not by chance that Our Lady, and also Don Stefano Gobbi, did
not make any provision for the movement before the death of Don
Stefano Gobbi. On the contrary, Our
Lady says: “THIS IS MY WORK ALONE, … WITHOUT
ORGANIZATION” (June 7, 1975).
"Do
not be concerned about the spread of the Marian Movement of Priests.
Let me act; trust me. (…) Do not look at the results. My way of
acting and of evaluating is so different from yours. You do not have
to be numerous, but you must be holy.
And I will lead you all to great
holiness, if you all truly entrust yourselves completely to me."
(October 13, 1973).
But
after the death of Don Stefano Gobbi there was lacking trust in Our
Lady on the part of some insecure priests,
and thus “for motives of health Padre Quartilio G. had to resign;
during the spiritual exercised of 2013 at Collevalenza there was
nominated as General Responsible padre Laurent L., french.”
(“Pastor of the Whole World – Biography of Don Stefano
Gobbi” (“Parroco di Tutto il Mondo – Biografia di Don Stefano
Gobbi”), by Mariadele Tavazzi; San Paolo, 2015; p. 134).
I
was happy that Padre Quartilio Gabrielli, who passed much time with
Don Stefano Gobbi, had the COURAGE
to offer the following meditations at the International Spiritual
Exercises in 2016:
Satan
is pushing many people off the Barque of Peter, the Church,
on the “port side” (left side), who do not follow the laws of God
infallibly interpreted by the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. But
also on the “starboard side” (the right side) of the Barque of
Church, there are many who believe they have the “fullness of the
truth and means of sanctification” and thus do not feel they need
to dialogue with anyone or any group who do not totally agree with
themselves, as did the Pharisees and Scribes, and as have done so
many people and groups in the Church and outside of the Church
throughout history, especially today in a world and in a Church full
of confusion. It is true that the one true Church, the Catholic
Church, has the “fullness of the truth and means of sanctification”
(Lumen Gentium, no. 8), but an individual person or an individual
group in the Church is not the Magisterium of the Church, and thus
does not have the guarantee, the charism of infallibility, to
INTERPRET the doctrines of the Church infallibly. This is why the
humility to take the risk to dialogue is always necessary, as Pope
John Paul II often encouraged us to do. It is so easy to slide back
into what the Second Vatican Council sought to eradicate - to bring
the Church back to true humility and to eliminate in the Church this
triumphalism of being the true Church, with the fullness of Truth and
the means of sanctification (LG 8) (“Evangelization
VS the Trilogy of Devils in the Church: Triumphalism, Clericalism and
Juridicalism”; http://trueevangelization.blogspot.com).
Thus
we understand that it is difficult in this period for those who pray
and keep their eyes open to the organized destruction of the Body of
Christ, the Church. It is difficult to do as Our Lady at the foot of
the cross seeing the destruction of the Body of Christ on the cross.
There is a great temptation to do protagonism alone or in a special
group, or to do as Peter “having a sword, drew it and struck the
high priest’s slave” (Jn 18:10; Mt 26:51). One finds indications
on a few blogs, such as “GloriaTv”, the conviction and the
conclusions that the more that evil goes forward today in the Church
that this means that the extreme right or the schismatic
traditionalists or Don Minutella are even more correct!?! A criteria
of discernment must be based on the Divine Revelation and the
Magisterium of the Church of 2000 years, non on a reaction against
the people on the left side in subjectivism and relativism. “Saint
Thomas Aquinas tells us that virtue lies in the middle between the
two extremes which is usually the more difficult path requiring much
patience, discernment and humility. Let us not Satan push us off the
Barque of Peter, the Church, on the “port side” (left side) nor
on the “starboard side” (the right side). Let
us welcome the words of the first successor of Don Stefano Gobbi,
Padre Quartilio Gabrielli
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/05/ready-to-die-for-christ-truth.html):
“Dear
ones, let us not be fooled, it does not help to put our heads in the
sand; not just the messages of Our Lady
where she talks about loving each other; but also these and many
others, where she talks to us to unveil to us our mission.
(…)
It's
been almost two months since I wrote to all the ones in charge of the
M.M.P. and of the M.M. the two letters of great uneasiness and
disappointment as to how the Movement is run in these times, in which
they are called to defend the Truth and to uncover error, and
especially about the loss of the true spirit left to us by Don
Stefano. I have tried in so many ways to make it clear to the One
in charge and to his assistant that the Movement was betraying the
purpose for which it was desired by the Immaculate Heart of Mary for
these times.
(…)
Another
very current point, in my opinion, is not so much the problem of
organizing trips or anything else. After Don Stefano's death, I do
not believe that one should copy what he did, given the fact that he
received a particular charism; now in
most of the world there are people in charge named by Don Stefano,
they themselves already know what they must to do. Now the most
important commitment is that everyone live and does what Our Lady
asks, the rest, even to fill up the stadiums, is not needed. Let us
remember the example that Don Stefano quoted very often, the example
of Gideon. Let us not forget, Our Lady
speaks of the small remnant; she says "not so many, but saints".
Questo
che sto dicendo può sembrare come un abdicare agli impegni del
Movimento: in alcune cose esteriori sì, ma, se approfondiamo bene,
Lei non ha bisogno di mezzi umani, (tantomeno di disquisizioni
umane). Quindi vorrei che si sappia, anche per chiarire lo scopo
delle due lettere che ho spedito per email, di cui qualcuno si è
persino scandalizzato: ora dico che il Movimento non ha bisogno di
strutture, non ha bisogno dello statuto, non ha bisogno di resoconti,
non ha bisogno di pagare viaggi o altro per fare 8 giorni di esercizi
spirituali a Fatima, ora occorrono Sacerdoti, con il CROCIFISSO e
la CORONA del ROSARIO, occorrono laici che sostengono e si uniscono
in preghiera con loro un “cuor solo e un anima sola”, perché la
seconda Pentecoste avvenga prima possibile.
What
I'm saying may seem like abdicating the commitments of the Movement:
in some exterior things yes, but, if we go deeply, She does not need
human means (even less human disquisitions). So I would like it to be
known, also to clarify the purpose of the two letters I sent by
email, of which someone was even scandalized: now
I say that the Movement does not need structures, it does not need
the statutes, it does not need reports, it does not need to pay for
trips or anything else to do 8 days of spiritual exercises in Fatima,
now there is needed priests, with the CRUCIFIX and the ROSARY, there
is needed lay people who support and join in prayer with them "of
one heart and soul” (Acts 4:32), so that the second Pentecost takes
place as soon as possible.
Quindi
colui che guida il Movimento penso debba innanzi tutto incarnare lo
“Spirito” del Movimento e nello stesso tempo tenere presente la
figura di Don Stefano.
The
M.M.P. becomes a reality not in the figures,
in the resonance of names, in the efficiency of the organization, but
insofar as one listens to Our Lady and one follows the work of the
Holy Spirit, to the praise of the Most Holy Trinity. (Introduction -
Spirituality, pp. 25, 26)
So
the one who guides the Movement I think must first embody the
"Spirit" of the Movement and at the same time keep in mind
the figure of Don Stefano.
(…)
I
have always thought that the one who is designated as the Person in
charge must keep in mind the figure of Don Stefano, but above all he
must embody "the spirit of the Movement" as it comes from
the messages of the "Blue Book". For this reason, rather
than saying "I am the one in charge"
his job is to help keep faith in the messages of the Blue Book and
the charism left to us by Don Stefano. Everything else: organizing,
doing, even recalling: She will take care of things when someone does
not behave well. Let us keep in mind the example of Don Stefano, and
I would say also let us read and re-read the messages of the first
ten years of the Movement, where we find messages that formed Don
Stefano, and certainly if we live them they will form the true
"Apostles of the last times”. These "Apostles of the last
times" are not formed by the circular letters which we can
write, Our Lady says that She forms them, and that as the first thing
they must be:
(…)
Regarding
the second commitment of the M.M.P.: unity and loyalty to the Pope. I
would like to know if we as the Marian Movement of Priests must keep
silent about the errors which destroy the true faith, generating such
vast apostasy, which we find well
described in most of the messages, to the point of reaching an
unbelievable extension, because it has arrived "even to the
summit of the Church" (June 13,
1989).
It
seems to me that Our Lady asks us to unmask the error and to defend
the Truth "even at the cost of shedding our blood."
Padre
Quartilio G. tells us: “Now in most of
the world there are people in charge named by Don Stefano,
they themselves already know what they must to do.” It
is enough to continue the essential things – the Cenacles, the
Rosaries, Adoration, Confessions … In
any case, I believe that time is short
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2016/12/signs-god-vs-satan.html).
There is not needed a one in charge who does not dialogue with the
people who are not in agreement with himself and “defends a total
and unconditional infallibility of Pope Francis. With this great
mistake he has confirmed those members of the Movement who sleep
as naive children in Gethsemane at this
hour of the Church’s agony, and he has put to sleep many others. In
addition, by virtue of its ambiguity, the circular letter has led a
number of members away from the Movement of Our Lady to another
movement” (Professor Don Ivan Pojavnik in the letter of Padre
Quartilio).
When
I entered into many Catholic groups in Facebook, my first post was
always:
“To
let people know at least a little about myself, as I wrote in other
communities:
I
am a diocesan priest in Perugia, Italy. I graduated from UCLA, Math,
1974. We are truly in the period when “the woman clothed with the
sun” (Rev 12:1-2) will crush the head of the serpent (Gen 3:15),
which is rather well explained by Saint Louis de Montfort, “True
Devotion To Mary”.
Over
three years ago a priest in my diocese committed suicide. Our
Cardinal decided to put aside the topic of our monthly meeting to
talk about this. Many younger priests lamented at that time the lack
of support by the Cardinal. I then spoke before the more than 100
priests present with the Cardinal and told them that I took the
advice of Archbishop Fulton Sheen 14 years ago to spend more than an
hour every day in church before our Eucharistic Lord in the
tabernacle. From that time on, even though I live alone, I never felt
any loneliness whatsoever. I told them that when I suggested this
practice to 20 priests in our diocese, all of them said that they did
not have time. I responded to them that if I do not spend at least
one hour with Jesus in the Eucharist every day, I end up offering to
people a poor priest, Father Joe, instead of offering them Jesus
Christ.
Please
pray for priests and bishops because we have a tremendous
responsibility. Pray that we truly are willing, and will be willing
when it is even more difficult, to be ready to do as Christ, the Good
Shepherd, to lay down our lives for the sheep (Jn 10:11), to lead
them to Christ, the Truth which does not change with the world, and
which sets us truly free (Jn 8:32), even though the Truth of God is
very often uncomfortable and outright rejected, scorned and hated in
our world today!”
“The
whole of man’s history has been the story of DOUR
COMBAT with the powers of evil” (CCC
409). “Prayer joined to sacrifice constitutes the most powerful
force in human history.” – Pope John Paul II. The true solution
is to climb to Calvary with Jesus and Mary! “Suffering
is the greatest treasure on earth; it
purifies the soul. In suffering we learn who is our true friend. True
love is measured by the thermometer of suffering…” (Diary of St.
Faustina, no. 342). Visit: “The Great
Gift of the Cross”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/09/the-great-gift-of-cross.html).
Satan
has great power today to be able to manipulate and infiltrate groups
of people. But the people on their
knees before Jesus in the Eucharist in the tabernacle, with the
Rosary, with much humility and faith and love, Satan cannot harm.
“Make frequent visits to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and the
devil will be powerless against you.” – St. John Bosco.

Dear
Assunta, here is a few thoughts to help us in this period of great
confusion. As Padre Quartilio G. wrote in his letters, Our Lady want
simple things, such as the Cenacles, sacrifices, adoration, Rosary.
Let us allow Our Lady to do the rest. I try to offer the Truth in the
period of confusion, but “WITHOUT ORGANIZATION”, which Our Lady
asked u sto do. At my index web sites, I wrote:
There
is less prayer than ever before, more
sin than ever before, even worse, indifference as if sin no longer
exists, and so we have given much greater power to “the father of
lies”, Satan (Jn 8:44). In particular Satan has more power to
“disguise himself as an angel of
light” (2Cor 11:14), to offer his
very deadly beautiful lies as if they were the “truth that sets us
free” (Jn 8:32)!
Thus
it is very important in these times of
great confusion, when even Catholic
bishops are no longer in agreement about the fundamentals of our
faith and morals, to not only pray much and to study the Catechism of
the Catholic Church for adults, but to
keep our eyes open so as not to fall into the beautiful lies of Satan
presented as if they were the Truth!

deceptions of the ancient serpent, visit one of my index web sites to

Since
this web site is no longer found, I offer one of the articles which
regards Don Minutella (when I get time I will translate this into
English):
“La
mia affettuosa lettera a Don Minutella” Di Finan Di Lindisfarne”
Date:
03/04/2017Author: Anonimi della Croce
“La
mia affettuosa lettera a Don Minutella” Di Finan Di Lindisfarne
Gentile
Don Minutella,
a
scriverle è il ‘secondo’ di questo blog, Finan Di Lindisfarne.
Non
sono un sacerdote e scelsi questo pseudonimo per simpatia a questo
Santo del nord Europa, di cui non sono paragonabile nemmeno al pari
di un’unghia.
Ho
letto in internet diversi articoli che la riguardano.
Dai
preti “allineati” che si sono uniti al Vescovo Lorefice, a suoi
Confratelli che hanno scritto il loro pensiero sulla vicenda e a
tutto il resto dei cattolici che dice -ognuno- quello che pensa.
Fra
Cristoforo, e questo lo testimonio personalmente, ha scritto secondo
coscienza, come si scrive a un con-fratello. (Il trattino non è
casuale).
Come
potrà leggere dai commenti, siamo alla confusione più totale. Noi,
popolo di Gesù, ognuno per la sua. Insulti compresi, con annesse
accuse vicendevoli di “non essere nel discernimento come lo sono
io”. Oppure accuse di “essere amico del nemico” a Fra
Cristoforo perchè l’ha invitata alla prudenza a all’obbedienza.
Ma
chiudiamo il quadretto.
Le
esprimerò la mia personale opinione. Che è quella di un laico, il
quale non ha alcuna pretesa di sentenziare.
Ma
dato che, come lei, siamo tutti in una sorta di “regime di
disobbedienza”, e, dato che consideriamo la barca di Pietro
traballante, mi permetto di esprimerle -con rispetto- il mio
personale pensiero.
Lei
è un sacerdote appassionato. Ho visto alcune sue catechesi. Tiene
alla Dottrina della Chiesa e alla salvezza delle anime. Predica il
Vangelo.
Di
certo non si è fatto prete per organizzare partitelle di calcio
all’oratorio o per diffondere opere di misericordia 2.0 (è il mio
neologismo per indicare quella finta misericordia di cui siamo
spettatori).
Ma
anche io ho delle perplessità sulla linea così feroce che lei ha
scelto.
Non
passa giorno che non mi venga l’orticaria per quello che questa
‘Chiesa’ sta combinando. E lo stesso vale per tutte le cose che
Omissis ha detto o fatto, ponendo le basi per lo scardinamento di
alcune basilari verità di Fede e di prassi della morale.
Ma
come fedele, se dovessi scegliere e se fossi forzato a darle un
consiglio spassionato, le direi: “Don Alessandro, aspetti un
momento”.
Cosa
mi spingerebbe a dirle questo?
L’avrei
fatto nella convinzione e nella carità più profonda di non volerla
vedere sfracellarsi davanti a quella cattiveria diabolica di cui
potrà essere vittima, senza sortire i risultati desiderati.
Altri
prelati più in alto in gerarchia si sono mossi prima di lei. E parlo
dei 4 Cardinali. E non mi si venga a dire che la gerarchia non ha
importanza perchè allora non solo non si è Cattolici, ma si
banalizza qualsiasi tipo di ordine umano. Sarebbe infatti ridicolo
allora soffrire perchè Omissis fa quello che sta facendo, se non
riconosciamo l’importanza del concetto di gerarchia nella Chiesa.
Noi
stessi abbiamo avuto notizia che i 4 Cardinali non faranno la
correzione. Ma non è forse prudenza aspettare che siano loro stessi
ad affermarlo? Se invece cambiassero idea?
Da
parte mia preferirei che questo blog facesse la figura del “fake”
-come del resto siamo stati accusati- e vedere un Cardinale fare la
correzione, piuttosto che assistere alla resa dei 4 Cardinali e
all’avvento di uno, cento, mille Don Minutella. E non perchè è
lei, Don Minutella, ma perchè significa che la confusione regnerà
sovrana.
Infatti,
Don Alessandro, alcuni seguiranno lei.
Poi
qualcun’altro si farà avanti. E seguiranno quell’altro.
Il
rischio concreto è che il demonio usi l’orgoglio di ognuno per
fregarci tutti. E dove c’è disordine, non c’è Dio.
Spero
che lei prenda le mie parole non come un sofismo, ma come una ricerca
del discernimento e della verità.
Per
questo, secondo il mio modestissimo parere, di persona che non vale
nulla e che non ha titoli teologici, ma solo preghiera (sempre da
migliorare) e un pizzico di intelligenza (spero!), converrebbe
aspettare di essere tutti sotto una stessa guida.
Se,
poi, arriverà il giorno in cui figure come il Cardinale Burke -di
cui attendiamo la prossima mossa- dichiarassero che si mettono in
totale obbiedienza al Magistero di Omissis, allora ne riparleremo.
Fino
ad allora (e non penso che passerà moltissimo) ogni mossa è
prematura.
La
mia sensazione, Don Alessandro, è che la constatazione del male che
lei vede, in quanto uomo di preghiera, l’abbia fatta reagire
istintivamente, stanco di vedere il marcio che dilaga.
Il
che è nobile e ha tutto il mio appoggio.
Ma
se dobbiamo tutti partire a correre, dobbiamo farlo insieme.
Non
ha senso, a mio parere che lei vada a Verona, che non è nemmeno la
sua Diocesi, causando comunque del frastuono che ora non giova,
mentre lo stesso giorno si svolge una conferenza
(http://www.lanuovabq.it/it/mediaVideoGallery-testimoni-da-tutto-il-mondo-con-una-richiestafare-chiarezza-subito-sullamoris-laetitia-video-19441.htm)
internazionale, che comunque è un grande passo.
Forse
in quella sede verranno prese delle decisioni.
Un
passo mirato e attento.
Che
se non ho male compreso (contradditemi nei commenti) sono gli stessi
della Dichiarazione di Fedeltà (www.supplicafiliale.org). Ovvero
quel gruppo di menti -ecclesiastici e non- ai quali onestamente mi
affiderei con grande serenità.
Lei
serve alla causa, Don Alessandro. Non si faccia massacrare
gratuitamente, perchè tanto la resistenza si può fare lo stesso
senza fare manifestazioni in piazza.
Cosa
pensa che farà Omissis? Cosa farà, Don Alessandro, se la
scomunicano?
Quanti
fedeli pensa che la seguiranno? Quelli che magari fanno i leoni in
internet, magari scrivendo commenti nei vari siti, pensa che la
seguiranno fino al Calvario?
La
vera resistenza potrebbe essere un giorno trovarsi a casa di qualcuno
ad assistere ad una celebrazione vera, mentre nel frattempo in tutte
le parrocchie verrà celebrata una farsa.
E
ci si dovrà muovere nel nascondimento.
Sono
convinto che se un giorno dovremo essere martiri in piazza, lo saremo
tutti insieme. Ma ora è il tempo della pazienza, dell’attesa
-Omissis è lì dov’è per permissione divina- e
dell’organizzazione intelligente.
E
lo dico essendo consapevole di essere un Anonimo della Croce, che
dovrebbe a parere di alcuni lettori, essere un sobillatore. Invece
non lo sono. E soffro quando penso a Benedetto XVI.
Un
passo affrettato, mosso magari dal risentimento e dalla frustrazione
di vedere la Chiesa peggiorare di giorno in giorno, potrebbe essere
controproducente per tutti.
Ora,
vi prego, commentate. Ve ne sarò grato, perchè lungi da me la
pretesa di dire la verità e di avere ragione. Ho espresso quello che
ho nel cuore.
Con
affetto,
Finan
p.s.
Mi unisco totalmente all’invito di Fra Cristoforo
(https://anonimidellacroce.wordpress.com/2017/04/03/avviso-ai-naviganti-di-fra-cristoforo/).
E’ ridicolo insultarsi a vicenda o dare dell’indemoniato l’uno
all’altro. Per cortesia, amici, non diventiamo come le bestie.
Siamo vittime del disordine, è vero. Ma non facciamo come i cani che
si sbranano a vicenda per la rabbia. Stiamo tutti cercando la strada.
TUTTI. Da Don Minutella a Fra Cristoforo, dai lettori pro-incontro a
quelli contrari. Non rivestiamoci di quella spocchia presuntuosa di
essere convinti di avere l’illuminazione e gli altri invece no.
Santa notte.
