heretics

More time passes, the more we have to hear, of good and bad, but above all stupid.
We are in what was once the quiet Italian province, governed and governed by common sense, from respect for simple things and from what until a few years ago was called "fear of God". Well, from this province no longer normal, news arrives of the organization of an inconceivable nonsense, called “heresy festival”.

At first glance, one gasps, the news is so unexpected, but then he smiles mockingly, telling himself that after all, they've been making things up for quite some time, the most disparate festivals are organized and celebrated, that the more abstruse they are, the more they are applauded, finally we needed a nice heresy festival, almost like dotting the i's: what is the nauseating seething of the modern world if not a sort of uncontrolled regurgitation of heresies?
Yes, It is true, it's mostly about crooked and ugly things, but how could such things take hold if normal man had not first decided to turn his back on God?
Therefore “heresies”, both in the sense of mockery and distortion of the Faith, both in the figurative sense: of incredible nonsense, lavished liberally by those who have now given up on making use of that reason granted by God to man, unique in creation, precisely because it was made in His image and likeness.
But let's go back to the Italian province.
This nice thought came to the mind of a joker in Trivero, a small village near the town of Biella, today the provincial capital.
Trivero counts approximately 6000 inhabitants, and is located just over 700 meters above sea level in the Biella Prealps, which are part of the Pennine Alps, in the North-West of Piedmont.
We ask ourselves: What the hell did these mountaineers think of organizing the "first heresy festival"?? They won't be crazy?
It would seem so, ma, search... and you find that the same presentation poster reminds us that this small center had in 1307 some notoriety, when on the nearby Mount Rubello, called Saint Bernard, Fra' Dolcino and his men barricaded themselves, chased by the troops sent by the Inquisition and fled from the nearby Valsesia which they had occupied to make it the hearth of their heretical community.
On the San Bernardo mountain, Dolcino and his men resisted the troops of the bishop of Vercelli in vain, Raniero degli Avogadro, who together with other armed men from the Novara area, in Holy Week 1307, put an end to the heretical preaching of the millenarian Fra' Dolcino; who was executed on June 1st, after witnessing the burning of his partner, Margaret of Trent, and his lieutenant, Longinus from Bergamo.
It is therefore understandable how certain minds were influenced by this medieval fact, have been able to invent a sort of local value to remember, however undeservedly, so long as, given the devastating experience lived in 1300 by the local people, the story of Fra' Dolcino itself was far from entering their historical memory, at least until, nell’800, the freemason lawyer Brofferio didn't have the right idea, obviously interested in an anti-Catholic key, to build ourselves on a sort of legend, duly accompanied by wandering spirits and evil souls, of initiatory caves and hidden treasures to search for, both metaphorically, both practically.
In short, on the unfortunate story of the possessed friar, ended up building another false nineteenth-century libertarian epic, full of inventions and fairy tales just to harm the Catholic Church.
How can you look at this modern Piedmontese initiative without thinking of the freemason Brofferio and his associates then and now... completely disappeared in Piedmont?
But let's go back to the present day, when we read about the presentation of this beautiful idea, sponsored by the current local authorities, provincial and regional, a brief speech by a certain Don Luigi Ciotti, ultra-modern priest who by profession is a constant fighter against what he believes are injustices against the weak.
But before reading what Don Ciotti writes and realizing how he sees things from his personal observatory, it's better to take a look at this photo of him with Pope Bergoglio, where you see them walking and chatting hand in hand... maybe this photo explains something!

Don Ciotti presents, no less, what a sort of hymn to heresy, obviously seen from a Ciottian perspective.

According to him, heresy would be a "choice". It is true, but he forgets to add that it is a “personal choice”, which, far from calling for the choice of good over evil, remember that “personal choice”, founded on the free will with which God has endowed man, it can only align with the Commandments of God and the teachings and precepts of the Catholic Church, which is the Church of God; every other discordant choice is a rejection of God.
So, Easy on statements that seem intelligent but are actually misleading.
And Ciotti himself confesses this when he states that the heretic loves the search for truth more than the truth. And he confesses it without realizing it, since it suggests that "searching" for the truth, therefore discarding that offered by God through His Church, it would be a merit; which is false, also because either one knows the truth and therefore does not need to go looking for it or one does not know it and therefore will strive in vain to look for it, for even when he found it, not knowing her, he wouldn't recognize her.
This is what the Catholic Church is for: to offer men the Truth of God. Other than going looking for her!
But Don Ciotti is obstinate in his errors and allows himself to state that the heretic - who would be a good person - is the one who is not satisfied with "second-hand knowledge". Ora, unfortunately for him, the teaching and knowledge of the Catholic Church is much more than second-hand, but by the umpteenth hand, yet they are the only true knowledge and teachings that man must make his own because they are taught directly by God. And as Jesus Christ himself teaches: “Whoever believes will be saved, whoever does not believe will be condemned" (Cfr. Mc. 16, 16).
So, no heresies, no search for truth, but only adherence with the intellect and the heart, with intelligence and will, to what God taught through His Church.
Anyone who is a "heretic" will be condemned.
And if the heretic is "he who has the courage to have more courage", as Don Ciotti says, there is no doubt that today he who has the most courage, far from pretending to be a heretic, he is the one who rejects the speeches of men - including Don Ciotti - to give himself entirely to the teachings of God, they were also from the umpteenth hand.
If this is the presentation of the initiative, you can't say it's smart.
And because among those called "protagonists" there are characters taken here and there, including a false ecclesiastic and a false theologian whose names we do not mention out of Christian charity; and because the same concepts are taken up and repeated: “promote a festival that represents a moment of reflection on heresy, understood as choice and search for truth, both in the religious field, is…"; which can only mean one thing: promote error against the Truth revealed by God, in the name of a titanic superhumanism which is the same one that brought the world to the miserable state it finds itself in today and which aims to go beyond, until the total devastation of man, of family and society.
God permitting!
