Giuseppe Federici Study Center – For a new onset

Press release no. 63/18 of the 3 September 2018, Saint Pius X

We celebrate the feast of Saint Pius (n. 69, July 2018), which indicates the anti-modernist doctrinal line to follow in order to remain faithful to the teaching of the holy pontiff.

Editorial of the Sodalitium magazine, n. 69 July 2018

“The hiatus between the statements of the 19th century Popes and the new vision that begins with Pacem in Terris is evident and there has been much debate about it. It also lies at the heart of Lefebvre and his followers' opposition to the Council.". It is not the first time that Joseph Ratzinger expresses his opinion on the irreconcilability between the teaching of the Church (“the statements of the Popes of the 19th century”) and the modern one (O human dignity - come who - Peace on earth): we have already talked about it in relation to his greeting speech to the Roman Curia of 22 December 2005, his Membership no. 59, pp. 41-43. The hiatus (in the figurative sense of “interruption”, “solution of continuity”) it is therefore "evident", that is, immediately and totally comprehensible.

«May '68» and pedagogical modernism

14 June 2018 by admin

Reporting of Roman correspondence
Of Giovanni Tortelli
In the previous article «Maggio ‘68», the revolution of nothing I insisted onessentiality of the cultural revolution character of the '68 protest as a vehicle of a new totalizing system of knowledge that was suddenly replaced, antithetical and manifest to the previous one.
The nullifying thought of Sartre and the new philosophers – which clearly constituted thearché within which the entire alleged pedagogical renewal of the student protest moved - it was very current in 1968, but it was nothing other than the latest updated version of that postmodern philosophy from Kant onwards, starting from the French Revolution, had closed the doors of supernatural life to man, he had reduced religion to a personal matter at best and reduced the Church in its values and universal teaching.
But for the Church – which, must be remembered, carries out its educational action both in civil society schools through agreements reached with the States, both directly through Catholic schools – that skeptical philosophical thought, an atheist and agnostic was to be considered an overall less insidious danger, because external, compared to modernism, which instead smoldered inside and insinuated itself both into the teaching method of Catholic teachers and into the way of learning of Catholic disciples, future teaching class.

Minister Fontana: "L’odio delle élite non mi spaventa"

Minister Fontana: "Lâodio delle eÌlite non mi spaventa" Of Lorenzo Fontana, Minister of the Family, 4/06/2018
The head of the Family writes to Il Tempo: “I fight against the fury of relativistic ideology”
Dear director,
I thank you, The weather, Your editorial team and all those who have expressed support for me in the days in which a strong attack attempt is underway not only against me, but against the values in which the silent and calm majority of the country is reflected. What we have seen is bitterly reminiscent of Gilbert Keith Chesterton's predictions: «Swords will be drawn to show that the leaves are green in summer», a prophecy that no longer seems so remote. And that's what happened. We stated things we thought were normal, almost taken for granted: that a country needs to have children to grow, that mom is called mom (and not a parent 1), that dad is called dad (and not a parent 2). We said that the last and only ones who must have a say on education, raising and caring for children are really mum and dad, sacrosanct principle of freedom. The reaction – of certain environments that make relativism their flag – it was very violent. A fierce barrage of insults began, offenses, even personal ones, threats (which will be brought to the attention of the competent offices). Social media has amplified the scope of this action, conducted by some on the table. We live in strange times. The fury of a certain relativistic ideology goes beyond the boundaries of reality, even going so far as to question some clear evidence, which are fully reflected in our Constitution. «The Republic recognizes the rights of the family as a natural society founded on marriage», reads the article 29, which will be the principle of action as a minister.
That said: the revolt of the elite does not scare us and we are not scared of facing the dictatorship of single thought. Let's move on, with great motivation, we have many projects to implement. We do it with the many who – like you – they showed us their solidarity. You have been and are numerous and a heartfelt thank you goes to all of you. History comforts us. «They will call you papists, retrogradi, intransigent, clerical: to be done!», said Saint Pius. And we are proud of not being afraid to call ourselves Christians, to call us mothers, fathers, to be for life. We have broad enough shoulders to resist gratuitous attacks by responding with the evidence of the facts, the strength of ideas and the concreteness of actions. Honor to a free newspaper that has the courage to express counter-current positions. Never before has fighting for normality become a heroic act like in this moment. Read More
