St.Ignatious Loyola demands total humbleness of his disciples, that is to be disliked and mistaken for mad people because of Christ and His Gospel. And, mainly, to want it.

 

Christianity, Buddhism, Islamism, have Compassion in common, more than one might think.

 

Islam has to explain, on every level, all the implicit ideas of its main concept: god is the Gracious One. How many “deposits”, purely Medieval, would be descaled .

 

Catholicism has the same task, starting from the supreme principle: God is plural, that is Triune. That is a supremely democratic principle.

 

Trust in God and responsibility towards men: the two lungs of a modern Christian.

 

God (the Father) inspired him more and more simplicity: will of God and His adoration. He raised him to the foot of His throne.

 

God was greater and greater and more and more unlimited. Now heart and kidneys were sailing in the open sea.

 

Three fingers grabbed his wrist. The Carthusian turned and saw, (did not see) the one without a Face.

 

The uncommon and un-daily are most present in the common and daily. Suggestion of Pius XI.

 

Christ disciples will suffer together with all the men from eschatological hardship, until the end. No kidnapping of the church before “tribulation” and tribulations. We are a net, anthropologically.

 

Oh my God, in this Franciscan trattoria I sing of Your presence and let Your glory fill me, while I hug the old and filthy carpenter.

 

Human and historical sacraments gave way to pure Res. God untied him slowly and deeply from his most sublime Gifts. This was the tabula rasa of Love. He only fed on Glory.

 

The Titanic of things and history sinks among the stars. The non-being is the allusion of being. The non-Messiah preludes to the Messiah.

 

God did not embody theofanically, gloriously, but simply. How much He cares about simplicity, and how much men do not. Francis of Assisi got it.

 

Even the only rite of the Lord’s (the Supper), sparklingly simple, was darkened.

 

Church uses God but it does not serve God.

 

A luxurious news for the fanatic anti-pedophiles. Caligola condemned the children abused by his great uncle Tiberio to death, because they were guilty of indecent exposures.

 

They would be glad to establish death penalty even for a baby killer.

 

We are incapable of simplicity, because we lack of the sense of the Unique.

 

Catholics inherited from the Romans, who were violent and brutal, the cult of blood (adoration of Jesus’ blood, idolatry  of suffering).

 

St. Peter’s church incarnates the religious power philosophy: surrounding everyone with its glory and squeezing, from this amazing amazement, obedience and faith.

 

A philosophy blown up during the jubilee of Pope Wojtyla, a second-hand mystic: my kingdom is on this earth.
