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 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.

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
