SILVANA DE MARI'S TRIAL CONCLUDED

The statements of the Catholic writer and the interview with her lawyer speak of the lights and shadows of the sentence which acquitted her of almost all the charges
by Andrea Zambrano

«No triumphalism, but also no defeatism. However, the fundamental principle of freedom of expression has been safeguarded.". E’ the more than realistic position held by the lawyer Mauro Ronco who in yesterday's trial in Turin against Silvana De Mari commented on the court ruling that condemned the doctor for only one of the charges against her while acquitting her for all the others, including that interview with Zanzara which projected it among the most relevant media cases.
Basically, with the sentence of judge Eugenia Melania Cafiero, De Mari will have to pay a fine of 1.500 and a provisional of 2.500 euros to the Torino Pride Coordination and to Rete Lenford for having linked the activity of LGBT groups to the clearance of pedophilia. However, she was acquitted for all other charges. Read More

HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF FROM THE WORLD'S THREATS

HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF FROM THE WORLD'S THREATS

Five practical tips for resisting the seduction and terror with which they try to erase the Christian presence on earth

The World threatens us in two ways: seducing and terrifying us.
He seduces us by showing us his sophisticated and smiling face in the public arena: the theatre, the cinema, television, the newspapers, books and in particular 'Internet'; as well as in society as a whole with its decadent morality, his indecent fashions, his conventional ways of behavior, and with its specious maxims as: 'Let us crown ourselves with roses before they wither’ (Sap 2,8).
Thus the world presents itself as desirable, admirable, brave, and even the sum of his indignities is noble, of his vanities and baseness, arousing lusts in man to drag him to Hell.
The World terrorizes us with organized persecution against the worshipers of the one Triune God: the legal persecution against Catholic teaching in schools, and against public signs of the Catholic Faith in schools, in hospitals and private workplaces; against marriage, large families, and parents who insist on raising their children Catholicly and dressing modestly; the psychological persecution against all those who publicly profess their Faith and who tend to lead a decent life, devoted, and sink.

Orban abolishes gender courses in all universities in Hungary
by

Reporting of Bstbhugia

Other news from the gay world (less and less cheerful): trans cyclist wins women's race, gay party underway, pastry chefs can say no to gay cakes
and Radio Roma Libera

Finally some good news: Hungary has definitively kicked out gender from all state universities, so long as, as declared by the Secretary for Education, Bence Rétvári, represents, «like Marxism-Leninism, an ideology and not a science".
The relevant decree, which will make the provision enforceable starting next year, it was signed by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. There would have been no need, since enrollments in such courses, to say little scarse, they would have already justified their cancellation on their own. But the executive wanted to explicitly explain how the decision was not taken due to a question of numbers, but as a matter of common sense, as specified already last August by the Chief of Staff, Gergely Gulyas: «The Hungarian government does not intend to spend public money on education in this field», he specified. Effectively, has already withdrawn its financial support everywhere.
The provision affects all universities in general and, two in particular, that of Eòtvòs Loránd based in Budapest, and the other, George Soros' Central European University, which until now also distributed diplomas to those who attended such “discipline”.
Nobody will miss them.

They want to prevent freedom of information and the right of Christians to think differently from the dominant culture (VIDEO: Viva Maria Award to Silvana De Mari)
Of Americo Mascarucci

A trial on freedom of information and the right to “think differently”. This is essentially what the defamation trial against Silvana De Mari is taking shape, writer of fantasy books, blogger and surgeon, sued by LGBT associations for expressing opinions “politically incorrect” on homosexuality. His trial is becoming a full-fledged media event. There are various personalities from the political world who are supporting it. […] In fact, his conviction would risk sending out a very dangerous message, that is, that no opinion contrary to gender ideology can exist, where, for example, the latter persists in wanting “impose” a genetic origin to homosexuality, or to deny that we can escape from this condition.
Doctor, how the process is going?
«We have concluded the preliminary investigation which in my opinion went very well, since I managed to explain my reasons. Now there will be the part of the discussion scheduled on 13 December, Saint Lucia's Day".
What were the reasons he stated?
«I basically explained the reasons why I made certain statements. I also brought some material and illustrated for the umpteenth time the exact meaning of the term pedophilia. I reiterated that it is a sexual orientation characterized by attraction to minors, but that doesn't mean putting your hands on children. Read More

Nell'educazione va messo al centro l'aspetto religioso, word of Don Bosco

Education in the family and at school is not balanced if it is not perceived as the union of body and soul
Of Teresa Mancini

We have already underlined the inspiring principles of Don Bosco's Preventive System, widely and effectively applied across time and space (the Salesian family and the work of the oratories are a widespread reality in many countries around the world, that never stops bearing fruit), find complete application and usefulness not only in the field of pastoral action in favor of the education of young people in parishes, in the oratories, in the activity of catechesis, but like these “key principles” have undisputed educational validity in all educational contexts, including family.
It is our belief that the pedagogical directions of the Saint pedagogue are not only transferable to parent-child relational dynamics, but that precisely they can constitute those correctives that are so indispensable in ours, often dramatic, educational emergencies, in addressing the educational problems that challenge us and often defeat us as parents. This is the thesis that is closest to our hearts: Don Bosco is a shining light in our families too: he also guides and restores our children to goodness, if we understand, we welcome and apply the message it communicates to us.
REASON, RELIGION, LOVINGNESS
We have already argued “passing by” on the three key words that inspire his thinking: reason, religion, kindness, and how these three aspects, if well combined in the teacher-student approach, ensure the trust of our children towards the educator, achieving the much desired “educational success”. I wondered which of these three elements our current reality is most lacking in, farthest from the proposed model: in reason, in religion, in loving kindness? I tried to hypothesize what Don Bosco would tell us today by observing our boys, looking inside our families.
A first awareness: Perhaps, in our experiences as educators there is no lack of reference to “reason” e all'”kindness”, but it is no longer central there “religion”. It actually happens, in an increasingly convinced and widespread way, That, in the name of an undisputed principle of secularism of the public school service, for example, or in the name of freedom of choice of one's religious belief, of the fundamental inspiring values ​​of one's life, be overlooked, even setting aside the spiritual aspect of the education of our children, delegating all responsibility to the parish and entrusting a blank delegation to the catechists who work in the area, or waiting for our boys, once they grow up, do “freely” their own choices.
Don Bosco teaches us that this is a failure, if immediately, and permeating every experience, activities and knowledge, a dialectical connection is not created between what is immanent and what is transcendent, if we don't give to our actions, choices, plans the direction that God, in His infinite goodness he inspires us, if in our daily reality we do not enter into dialogue with Him.

THE TWO REASONS THAT MAKE THE LEFT ANGRY ABOUT VERONA AS A CITY' IN PRO-LIFE

The motion of the City Council commits the Municipality to promoting the program ”Secret cradle” and to allocate budget funds for the Gemma project and the Chiara project
Of Rodolfo Casadei

The motion of the City Council proclaiming Verona a "pro-life city", which commits the Municipality to promoting the regional program “Secret cradle” and to allocate budget funds for the Gemma project and the Chiara project, two initiatives that offer financial help to women who encounter material difficulties when becoming pregnant, does not in any way ask for the repeal of the law 194/78 which legalized abortion in Italy. The text of the motion actually cites the articles of the law which call for interventions to remove the reasons that can lead women to request an interruption of pregnancy. Why then the left-wing press and leading political exponents of the Democratic Party, Leu and the Five Star Movement lashed out with unprecedented violence against the vote of the Veronese city councilors? National exponents of the Democratic Party such as Andrea Orlando have even asked for the expulsion of the Piddina group leader in the city council Carla Padovani from the party, who voted in favor of the motion; Senator Monica Cirinnà declared herself "shocked and disgusted" by the Veronese vote.

Historical turning point: Trump overturns the majority on the Supreme Court
by

Reporting of BastaBugie editorial team

With the Catholic Kavanaugh, pro-life e pro-family, After 45 years of democratic rule, at the highest US court there is finally a lasting majority that has the ability to limit abortion and protect the family
Of Alessandra Nucci

Eventually it becomes clear to the whole world, for and against, that the principle by which the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court has become a battle to the death is the risk that, changing the majority of 5-4 among judges in favor of the left, the sentence that in. is overturned 1973 legalized abortion.
American jurisprudence recognizes the right to abort a child during all nine months of pregnancy, not as a result of a law of Congress but of the Roe vs. Wade ruling. This is why every appointment of every Supreme Court justice, when there is a Republican in the White House, unleashes a fierce battle. He had already met with Justice Clarence Thomas, accused by a woman of having made advances towards her while she was his employee. But never in the past had such vague accusations been presented, distant in time and without confirmation as in the case of Kavanaugh.
ACCUSE FALSE
None of the witnesses she cited confirmed psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford's allegations, and indeed everyone, including her "old friend", they explicitly excluded having ever known or participated in what she described. After that, his other claims also collapsed one after another.
As after-effects of the trauma suffered 36 years ago she had cited the fear of getting on a plane and the claustrophobia that had forced her to install a second door at home. Too bad that Ford turns out to be a "frequent flyer", that is, having the status of a person who gets on the plane so often as to deserve free flights and it's also a shame that her boyfriend of the years came forward 1992-1998 to deny both the fear of flying and the claustrophobia and the second door to the house.
As proof of the truthfulness of her accusations, Christine Ford had brought the result of a polygraph examination. Too bad Brett Kavanaugh's name wasn't even mentioned in this test.
What questions had he answered? Two in total, made at home by the medical examiner who only asked her to confirm whether what she herself scribbled there and then was true or not (the original sheet is visible on the internet) on a piece of notebook paper, where Kavanaugh's name is not there. The ex-boyfriend also denied the familiarity that Ford denied having with the polygraph exam, having even trained a friend on how to pass the test successfully. Read More

New TV series about Father Brown with kisses between women, propaganda dell'eutanasia, ecc.

The detective priest faces everything with a resigned moralism that does not belong to the lucid rationality of the original written by Chesterton (the 70s TV series with Renato Rachel was much better)
Of Rino Cammilleri

(AUTOMATIC READING)
E’ The sixth season of the Father Brown TV series has started and I'm willing to watch it like the previous ones. The actors are the same as in the various seasons: Mark Williams, what the protagonist does, and the regular supporting characters Mrs Bridgette McCarty (Sorcha Cusacks), the autistic Sid Carter (Alex Price), Sergeant Goodfellow (John Burton) e Penelope (Emer Kenny) who replaced Lady Felicia Montague (Nancy Carrol), match for South Africa in season four.
In the new series Penelope appears to have gained weight, although the expressiveness of the actress is unchanged. Patience: she was the prettiest. The shows are overall enjoyable, even if that something that only Chesterton could provide is missing. Indeed, the series is only inspired by the character created by Gilbert K. Chesterton. The result is that a Catholic priest becomes a detective, with stories that keep in mind that, precisely, he is a Catholic priest in Anglican England in the early 1950s. Naturally, the authors do not have the literary genius of Chesterton either, imagine, his theological preparation. Read More
