Jesus, my firmness.
Given the in-decent demographic development, why not imagine sexually get-on-well couples, that exclude fecundity?
Homo-etero polarization makes no sense, just like any sexual filing. The human being is always practical, and because of it, always elusive to any mental order.
Real, not ideological sex, is part of the individual’s plural identity. It is not an absolute. You should say, for instance: I am an engineer, a surfer, a homo, eco, veltroniano, I do not like ties, I wear Valleverde shoes, etc. This linguistic operation gives sex its right intravalue.
Catholicism, together with traditional Protestantism, has to distinguish and space out from evangelical Protestantism for its dialogic ability and afflatus.
We are not the soldiers of Christ but His friends, generators and multipliers of His friendship.
Benedetto XVI’s Catholicism is on the slope of evangelical Protestantism.
May I get out of my car in this moment? The Carthusian asked the autistic who was driving.
The autistic nodded. But the Carthusian did not trust him.
In that moment a car rushed along the door car.
The Carthusian asked the autistic: why did you say yes? Answer: I wanted to say no, but I was mentally forced to tell you yes.
Cicely Saunders: “time is not a question of duration, but of depth.”

Three consecutive visions of a mystic of Pietrelcina.
“I was in the church. A lady advises me that the Holy Mass will be half an hour late. I kneel down and get absorbed in prayer, getting into contemplation.
- I clearly see Jesus crucified. You are at the feet of the Cross. Jesus agonizing stares at you and says: “Make me drink.” You say: “Yes, Lord.” You have your hands raised, clearly visible two rhomb-shaped holes in them.
- Soon after I see Jesus again: Jesus is wearing a white tunic, and putting His hand on your shoulder tells you: “You are My joy, My delight. I am delighted with you. I will meke you suffer a lot, but you are My consolation. I will make you great in front of men and Myself.”
You answered back: “Yes, Lord. Thy will be done, Thy will be done, Thy will be done.”
- Third vision. “We are in a very big church. Jesus crucified presents to you a multitude of souls well ordered, people of different ages, but mainly young, that stand in the long central nave and the external stairs.
Jesus invites you to look back. Your sight cannot contain such a wide crowd. He adds: “these crowd need you. I entrust them to you.”
You look a bit thoughtful but Jesus: “I will always be with you, on your right side.”
Turin, 11th January 1983, 10,10pm.
Jesus talks about the prophet to the praying lady before the tabernacle.
Jesus: “Be him available and I will make him a masterpiece of My Love (small pause).
Men will see My power and My Grace in him.”
Praying lady: “Will he suffer a lot?”
Jesus: “He always will! The time of suffering passes quickly…My glory has no end.”
Praying lady: “Jesus, what shall he do?”
Jesus “Love and always be available.
In Love and availability there is everything, everything.” He repeats.
Praying lady: “Jesus, shall I tell him?”
Jesus: “Yes, at once, immediately.”
Praying lady: “Why?”
Jesus: “He knows why.”
Jesus, the praying lady writes, talked pronouncing every Word slowly, with depth, that is with full authority of Love.
Meantime the future prophet had made the decision, an interior one, to leave the Company in order to dedicate himself to the prophetic mandate. The praying lady did not know, but his addressee did.
The sense of dialogue must fill us, otherwise we are in an evangelical psychological storm : violence and hate democratic sub-specie, that look like democracy. We hate, make people hate and are hated.
The greatest temple of Catholicism is not dedicated to Christ but to Peter, not to the historical Peter but to the ideological one. The greatest temple of the church is dedicated to the church, to its worst itself, absolutistic and imperial.
The difference between Jehovah’s Witnesses and Evangelicals is only doctrinal: the spirit is the same.
