THE LIMBO OF THE UNBAPTIZED

The Limbo of unbaptized children, or those who died without baptism and before having the use of reason, or of all the unborn. We are talking about those who have not received baptism nor have been able to do so (blamelessly) desire. I have discussed this topic a lot in the past, so today it's just a matter of summarizing. I had already written:
The penalty for original sin is the lack of vision of God (1. Denz. 184 219; 2. Denz. 780); there is no intermediate place in the Pelagian sense between the kingdom of God and damnation (3. Denz. 184; 4. Denz. 224; 5. Denz. 2626); the proposition is condemned: [the souls of children who are born to Christian parents and who die without baptism reach an earthly paradise, the souls of children who were born to non-Christian parents and who die without baptism arrive in the place where the souls of their parents are] (6. Denz. 1008). Read More

Don Bosco and the Waldensian sect

Giuseppe Federici Study Center – For a new onset
Press release no. 9/19 of the 31 January 2019, St. John Bosco
Don Bosco and the Waldensian sect
“Biographical Memoirs of Don Giovanni Bosco”, Vol IV, ed. 1904 – Capo XXX. Apostasy – Sermon on the Virginity of the Most Holy Mary. – Zeal and charity of D. Forest for those deceived by heretics – Disputes with the partisans of’ Valdesi and co’ their ministers – A wicked sermon; the eagle and the fox – Constructions of’ Waldensians around their temple.
The WALDESIANS continued to spread their errors among the people through words and the press, giving away 80 lire to those who allowed themselves to be ascribed to their sect. Some of the young people from the festive Oratories, which had caused serious displeasure to D. Bosco, and in certain matters they had sided against him, they had allowed themselves to be led into apostasy, accepting that vile coin. The consequence was therefore that their hatred sought to be vented against their former companions, from whom their conscience warned them that from now on they would be considered renegades. One evening Tomatis came home around 9 ore. Passing near the Consolata church, descended towards the Oratory, when he notices that two individuals are chasing him. Fearful, he quickens his pace, and they too. He runs and can enter the courtyard and close the door in time, because if he had delayed an instant they would have caught up with him. He immediately went to tell the story [347] a D. Bosco, who arranged for some precautions to protect the safety of the community.

The hairpin Grillo


Flop a parte, I don't know whether to review Beppe Grillo as a comedian on TV is really an advert in favor of the 5 Star Movement or is it counterproductive for them. The show aired the other night on Raidue, Grillo is there, it actually arouses very mixed feelings: there are those who resell him and regret his role as a comedian and entertainer, rediscovering his verve as a free curser. There are those who do not see a solution of continuity and believe that the political prophet Grillo is the continuation of the comedian Beppe with other means, but with the same purposes: tell the truth, getting angry. Have fun & Subvert. And there are those, on the contrary, seeing him in the guise of a comedian, confirms that the reins of the country cannot be entrusted to a movement inspired by a cabaret artist. As long as you're joking, it's fine... In short, I think after seeing the Grillo comeback on Rai, everyone strengthens their judgments and prejudices. Read More

We prosecute NGOs, not Salvini

Matteo SalviniThe Sea Watch case demonstrates how humanitarian organizations are not interested in saving human lives, but to use the unfortunates recovered at sea to force Italy and Europe to open their doors to irregular migrants.
Here we go again. After the request to send the Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini to trial for the Diciotti case, we are awaiting the request from some magistrate ready to investigate him also for the case of the 47 migrants stranded on board the Sea Watch in front of Syracuse. Nothing strange for an Italy where the sense of the State of some magistrates goes in the opposite direction compared to the common sense and feelings of the majority of the population. To understand how justice risks transforming, once more, in political arms at the service of magistrates convinced that they can change governments with indictments, the paradoxes of the Sea Watch case are enough.

Syria rejects relations with the French regime that supported terrorism"


Syria denounces a new interference by the French government in its internal affairs and considers it an active part of its continuous policy of failed incitement against the Arab country.
“Syria is not at all interested in establishing relations with a country that contributed to the terrorist aggression against our country and whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent Syrians”, a statement from the Syrian Foreign Ministry said on Monday, in reference to recent statements made by French President Emmnauel Macron, in Egypt, on the political process in the Arab country.
According to the official Syrian news agency SANA , the note states that the “French regime” has offered all kinds of support to terrorists , and his foreign minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, he went so far as to describe the cut-throat extremists of the Frente group as “revolutionaries”.. Al-Nusra (also known as Fath Al-Sham), as well as interrupting all political initiatives to reach a solution to the crisis in the Arab country. Read More

The decline of Berlusconi

It's not just a question of age: the fact is that Silvio Berlusconi is now a man imprisoned in that court which prevents him from any contact with the outside world, if not filtered by that same court which presents him with a distorted vision of reality. That court which in recent days has even put him face to face with the task of a Stefania Prestigiacomo, always a point of reference for Berlusconi in Sicily, who boards a dinghy to go for the walkway on the Sea Watch with other "leftist" parliamentarians.
Berlusconi has a hard core of voters who continue to believe in him for what he represented in the past, but they believe only in him, and they expect him to dictate the line. Read More

The Senate denies authorization to proceed

“After thinking for a long time, I believe that authorization to proceed should be denied”. Matteo Salvini's version of the case Eighteen is entrusted to one letter to the Corriere della Sera. Salvini talks about numbers, of the government's goals. Talk about the decrease in landings, of deaths at sea, of repatriations and the decline of “immigrants in reception”. All numbers that certify his work as Minister of the Interior. The premise is obligatory as Salvini's defense follows precisely this thread. He appeals “to the article 9 third paragraph, of the constitutional law n 1/1989” when he asks that the Senate deny the magistrates authorization to proceed, as the minister acted for “the protection of a constitutional state interest”. The complaint of the Sicilian magistrates is that of “aggravated kidnapping”. Nothing personal.

It has nothing to do with me. First of all, the fight against illegal immigration corresponds to a pre-eminent public interest, placed at the foundation of precise provisions(…) Secondly, there are specific political considerations.

The justification is that the government itself acted to verify how it could be distributed “immigrants on board the Diciotti ship”, therefore in accordance with the article 79 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the Union and in line with the conclusions of the European Council of 28 June 2018. The defense is therefore focused on the duties of Minister of the Interior, work resulting from the promises made during the electoral campaign. The gist is clear. The Senate denies authorization to magistrates, also because Salvini doesn't regret anything.

“I don't deny anything and I don't run away from my responsibilities as a minister. I am convinced that I have always acted in the best interests of the country and in full compliance with my mandate. I would do it all again. And I don't give up”.

Voltaire and the short circuit of the obscurantist enlightenment

Giuseppe Federici Study Center – For a new onset

Press release no. 8/19 of the 29 January 2019, Saint Francis de Sales
Voltaire and the short circuit of the obscurantist enlightenment
The Voltaire you don't expect: racist and anti-Semitic, by Giorgio Enrico Cavallo
Given that it is not wise to look at history with the paradigms of the present, it is however interesting to observe that Voltaire, the great apostle of modern times, He wasn't exactly the holy man you might imagine. Moreover. In our era, the "mortal sin" condemned by all is racism. Well, the father of modern thought was not only "racist", but he was also a shareholder in slave ships through the India Company (1). In the Treatise on Metaphysics, Voltaire had written that blacks are inferior because they are halfway between Europeans and monkeys (2). In the Essay on the customs and spirit of nations we read: «A blind person is only allowed to doubt white people, negri, albini, Hottentot, Lapps, Chinese, Americans, they are completely different races" (3). And again, comparing Africans to beasts: «The same providence that produced the elephant, rhinoceros and blacks, he created another moose world, condor […]» (4). And again: «The white people, i negri, the reds, the Lapps, Samoids and albinos certainly don't come from the same soil." (5). He also had it with the Jews. In his Philosophical Dictionary (1764) he accused them completely gratuitously of anthropophagy. Read it under “Anthropophagi”: «And indeed, because the Jews would never have been anthropophagous? It would have been the only thing the people of God lacked to be the most abominable people in the world" (6). Read More

The Prosecutor's Office of Syracuse for the moment there are no suspects or suspected crimes, but it is collecting information from the Port Authority and the Financial Police day by day, which deals with maritime surveillance.
The latest information from the Fiamme Gialle, scheduled for today, it will concern the situation on board, the routes followed by the vessel and the possibility that the master of the vessel flying the Dutch flag disregarded the order of the Dutch Maritime Coordination Centre, turning towards Italy instead of heading towards the coasts of Tunisia, closer, when the storm was about to arrive.
The investigators' next step could be an on-board inspection - as had already happened with the Diciotti - if the risk of a health emergency was reported. And pm, to proceed, they should assume a crime: probably the failure to provide assistance. In the event of a full-blown emergency – risks of epidemics and infections, migrants in need of urgent care and in danger of life - or violations by the NGO, the vessel could be seized. And therefore the disembarkation would be arranged. Ma at the moment the conditions on board are not emergency. Read More

L'ultima indecenza dell'Anpi: «Le Foibe sono un'invenzione dei fascisti»

«It is disconcerting and alarming to see how an association that prides itself on passing on history and memory publicly denies, through social media, a tragedy as huge as that of Headquarters in the name of an ideology now followed by a few nostalgic Bolsheviks" Thus Luciano Sandonà, Regional councilor of the Zaia President groupe, responds via a note "to the controversy raised by a Facebook post published by Anpi section of Rovigo, in which the association of Rodigina partisans spoke of the Foibe as "an invention" of the fascists used to make people disappear the Yugoslav partisans.

«Basovizza is a lie»

“The Anpi of Rovigo cited the Foiba of Basovizza, speaking of it as a 'shameful lie' - continues Sandonà - not only did he deny a tragedy that is still too little known and condemned today, but it shamefully trampled on the memory of the innocent victims barbarically massacred in the karst sinkholes and of all those citizens of Italian origin of the Venezia Giulia, Istria and Dalmatia cforced to leave their homes to avoid the atrocious persecution of the troops of the Marshal Josip Broz Tito“. “A drama, that of the infoibati, shamefully 'forgotten' for political reasons by our institutions for too many decades, until the dutiful creation of Remembrance Day. It is worrying to see how denialism is still so strong – concludes Zaia's Advisor President – ​​and that, just to protect a political ideology, do not hesitate to ignore the 11 thousand people who died in those sinkholes which they define as a "historical invention"".
