Ferrara to Ratisbona. Liberal.

 

Politics as Narcissism. Always about Giulione and Juno.

 

Actually Medjugorje is a big problem. It is not enough to have plenty of miracles and conversions (a very ambiguous word). It is necessary to establish the authenticity of the prophets and, mainly, of their guides. Human and moral authenticity (prophets and friars thrown into money, manipulated messages).

You get the impression of a sort of authentic core, but overspoilt.

 

His graduation thesis, on philosophy of religion, was about Sweden: “Swedish Ferialità and “evementiality”. An attempt to focus on the deep Swedish theological soul, starting from the ancient runic alphabet, already foreseeing an immanent trend.

 

In his thesis Pippin Longsocks peeped out. The teacher asked him seriously: but who is he? A Swedish philosopher?

 

Knowing about Sweden he met a desperately existential country but true, far from Italiot and catholic hypocrisies.

 

Despite freedom, he did not have any sexual experience. “Silly!”: told him a priest, friend of his’.

 

In Stockholm he bought a porno magazine and some condoms. He wanted to see and understand. He did not know about it at all.

 

Thanks, my God: you took care of me respecting my need of knowing.

 

There are some men, who, not with their mendacious eyes, but with their bodies and bones and nerves and limbs and articles, say all their hate for the truth.

 

Incredible is the ability to lie, but one cannot lie with the body-soul, not with your own energy.

 

The prophet had received and was still receiving, in a huge quantity, this sensibility,                  he did not want to have, for the sake of tranquility. But you cannot say no to Spirit’s gifts. Very often he acted dumb not to attack the other. He was forced to see somewhere else, very often, pretending a sort of absent-mindedness.

 

He felt the presence of evil in a tactile way, but mainly the energetic power of Good.

 

If men were soaked with pray, adoration, listening, they would live as angels, though committed to things.

 

Humanity today, in a particular way, is as a  Cyclops about technique and science, but a Cyclops blinded by the beam of the real ignorance, spiritual ignorance.

 

Faith, without spiritual sensibility, either is sentimental or intellectual.

 

Faith, without Spirit’s gifts, does not touch, taste, hear, see, does not smell. Faith, without Spirit’s gifts, is the non-faith of demons.

 

Religious sense, today, is the non-faith, taste of sacred, inexperience of Spirit, mistrust of Spirit, devout atheism.

 

Holy Spirit skinned to its spirit Ratzinger’s heart, in all its hideouts. Stalactites and stalagmites, ravines, cliffs hills, guano, crystal flowers: he did not miss anything.

 

It was as if he was forced to see, but above all to say, say it.

 

They flaunt faith but talk about the absolute Uniqueness as if it was fresh water.

They are the worst Enlightenment followers-darkers. Whether God exists, or Christ resurrected, for them is a much reasonable thing, menu of the reason. Amazement is banned. So it is faith.
