THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
15
1In those days came to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying, 2 "Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands when they eat bread. "3ED he replied:" Why do you transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4Dio said
Honor your father and mother and also
:
who curses his father and the mother is put to death.
5Invece you say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, with whom thou mightest This is offered to God, 6non be bound to honor his father or his mother. So you have made the commandment of God by your tradition. 7Ipocriti! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
8 9.
This people honors me with their lips
but his heart is far from me.
vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments
men
10Poi met the crowd said: "Listen and understand! 11Non what goes into the mouth defiles a man, but what comes from the mouth defiles a man."
12Allora the disciples came to him: "You know that the Pharisees were shocked when they hear these words?". 13Ed he said, "Every plant not planted by my heavenly Father will be uprooted. 14Lasciateli! They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." 15Pietro then said, "Explain this parable." 16Ed he replied: "You are also still without understanding? 17Non see that whatever that enters the mouth passes into the stomach and goes into the sewer? 18Invece what comes out of the mouth come from the heart. This defiles a man. 19Dal heart, in fact, come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, thefts, false witness, slander. 20Queste are the things that defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man. "
This note comes from the fact that sometimes I felt enlightened approach to (an angel of light ...) the Church to the Pharisees as the first, advocating Tradition and the Magisterium, would only impose more human impersonating divine laws, deceiving the people ignorant and receiving alms
The same people, watch case, are those who talk about gluttons, drunkards. Smoking, warmongering, corrupt politicians and whoremongers, and even murder of animals ... These people represent the majority of the inhabitants of this world, the same majority that a complaint impure and corrupt world ... I do not understand, then who is divorced, is the horns, undergoes self-interest to leave the children in the hands of many delegates when he sends them prematurely ogre
Reflecting on these words and thinking about my life, I am immediately reminded that they had to do with a bit 'of righteousness. Yes, some reminded me that I or my friends we had not washed their hands ... Recent
acquaintances helped me understand why I became aware rampant self-righteousness of this already from the elementary and why I have not recorded in the Holy Roman Church as others were doing instead.
My problem was a disharmony with my city, in short, this disharmony is born with a historical fact, the Synod of Pistoia (1786)
This Synod, condemned by Rome, said Jansenist ideas consisting in particular in introducing a principle of democracy in the Church
Now I ask, what does democracy with the Gospel passage which I quoted.
Well, what Jesus rebukes the Pharisees? "They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."
A blind guide, I made this reflection: the Pharisees had acquired the force, knew and interpreted the Act, were proponents of a tradition, but that was based on their authority? On a human recognition. were wise, but perhaps no longer had the wisdom. They were no longer guided by the Holy Spirit.
So then they went to the blind, their hearts were far from God and teach for doctrines the commandments of men
We bring this situation within the Enlightenment. With the only reason the man could have found the right way, well why do indicate the way to Rome? Why the Pope should proclaim dogmas, give directions to the particular churches? The decisions should have been taken by all the bishops, by all the priests and all the people of God, every local church should have followed the path indicated by what was then called the general will. Here is the principle of democracy!
But what would be the consequence of a Democratic Church?
tu es Petrus et super hanc ecclesiam meam petram aedificabo
The parable of the track brought about a rooted plant, but we know that the Church is founded on a rock.
The Pope is the Vicar of Christ on earth, the apostolic succession guarantees that we will not blind guides, but whatever happens we can always hold on tight to a rock and the gates of hell shall not prevail
Jansenism instead is the Christ Yes, the Church no. Consequently is the Christ as I think, therefore I think I like the Christian
why Jansenism-Puritan moralists modeled aspects of Calvinism and other Protestant sects
what enters the mouth goes into the sewer, but what comes from the mouth comes from the heart
not founded the Church on Peter, the Christian no longer has to model Christ, but men (right) speak of Christ.
do not claim that an atheist understands this, but if you do not understand a Christian is to be taken seriously, the situational:
remember that after 1786 is 1789, that Luther came before Robespierre, that the good theologians critical of Humanae Vitae are contemporaries of the dispute and Sofri sessantottino A guide
without the Holy Spirit is a blind guide and a Christian is a man, and if a guide is blind, a man tries another guide ...
Moralism is a symptom of blindness. moralism is afraid to put a stop to what you are wearing. But without hope, we must act quickly and stems just what goes into the sewer, forgetting what comes from the heart that right there is a free choice, satisfaction, self-determination, but then the man becomes "a cycle of death and of terror, [which] can not stop it ... "( HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI esplanade of the Shrine of Fatima Thursday, May 13, 2010)
I was born in the cradle of Italian Jansenism and I have noticed at once that morality is an indication of blind guides, guides brave, enlightened guides without sin.
I trust rather than those who do not have a responsibility and asks forgiveness, takes the shame of others, mixes in human ugliness, for example taking so who, despite being without sin, dived into the waters of the Jordan, although right has been sentenced to death, though God suffered and died.
The Pharisees are asking the same sentence. They do interviews in the newspapers leaving the pagans of today putting on display, their innocent in a church full of pedophiles and bad so backward ...
"You know that the Pharisees were shocked when they hear these words?" we know who has been sentenced to death after three days rose again, ascended into heaven, but he left the Church, twelve lords without an army or the Republic have "won" the empire and created a civilization, the one we we are tired and bored heirs
It 'time to become aware of this and regain our West but with a guide who sees us!
ubi Petrus, ibi Deus ibi ratio!
