Italian Socialist government says churches have been loaned to the Catholic Church and they belong to the State.

Ministry of Interior plaques are being placed on the front door of churches in Rome.

Religious Buildings Foundation of the Italian Ministry of Interior (Fec)


It is a very special case within the Italian public administration panorama. The Religious Buildings Foundation (Fec) stands for a cultural heritage including artistic, art book and natural assets, second in importance only to that of the Italian State itself.

Set up in 1985, it is a body with legal personality represented by the Minister of Interior and administered, at central level, by the Central Directorate for the administration of the Religious Buildings Foundation (Department for civil liberties and immigration) of the Ministry. At provincial level, it is managed by the prefectures. FEC

The assets belonging to the Fec are the following: architectural assets spread all over the national territory (more than 700 Catholic churches, including abbeys, monumental basiliques and world-renowned churches, and museums) and the works of art contained in them; art book assets (the Fec Library, containing a collection of 300 ancient books published since 1552); natural assets, woods and forests (the Tarvisio forest in the province of Udine, the natural estates of Quarto Santa Chiara, in the province of Chieti, and of Giardinello in the province of Palermo).

The Fec heritage, mostly made up of sacred buildings and works of art kept inside them, dates back to the end of the 19th century when, in compliance with the so-called ‘subversive legislation’, religious orders were dissolved and most of their assets allocated to the State. The Fund is responsible for the preservation, the renovation, the protection and the enhancement of its assets. Sacred buildings, in particular, are freely loaned to the Catholic Church and open to public worship.- from the Ministery of Interior,Italy website.(emphasis added)

Full of deception

 
Cardinal Walter Kaspar uses wild interpretations of Church texts and makes claims with no supporting text in the Council.He has received an award from the Jewish Left for his important contribution( to the making of a Zionist Catholic Church).
Recently in a report in the L'Osservatore Romano he has said there can be two interpretations of Vatican Council II.This is nonsense.If there can be an interpretation contrary to Tradition there can be numerous interpretations depending on one's fancy.
 
 He assumes Lumen Gentium 16 etc refers to explcit cases of persons saved in invincible ignorance or a good conscience . So as Prefect of the Congregation for Christian Unity, he had written that Vatican Council II contradicts the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.(This report is available on the Vatican website)
He wrote that Pope Pius XII corrected the rigorist interpretation of Fr.Leonard Feeney in the Letter of the Holy Office 1949.
This is false. Where does the Letter say that Fr.Leonard Feeney was excommunicated for heresy instead of disobedience?
Where does the Letter say that invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire are physically visible to to us and so is an exception to the traditional teaching on other religions and salvation ?
The text does not say all this.He just takes it for granted and assumes it does.
 
This is not just the fault of the liberals like Cardinal Kaspar but also of the traditionalists like the SSPX and the sedevacantists.They also support Cardinal Kaspar in the interpretation of the Council.
 
The Council cannot have two interpretations. It is contrary to the Principle of Non Contradiction.We cannot say every one needs to enter the Church for salvation and at the same time say there are known cases who do not have to convert into the Catholic Church.
 
Cardinal Kaspar, the SSPX and sedevacantists commit this error. They assume that Lumen Gentium 16,(invincible ignorance) Lumen Gentium 8 (elements of sanctification) etc are not invisible. For them these cases are actually physically visible to us on earth. They allegedly personally know  such cases in 2013; visible ghosts. These dead men walking are implied to be  exceptions to Tradition; to the dogma on salvation and the Syllabus of Errors.
 
Based on this irrationality they have a new interpretation of Vatican Council II which is a break with the past.So they say there are two interpretations of the Council . One is with the visible dead premise and other without it.
This irrationality is the basis for Cardinal Kaspar's new theology and it is the only interpretation of the Council  that the SSPX seems to understand.


Possibly the Jesuit Pope Francis invited Cardinal Walter Kaspar to write that article indicating the liberal direction his pontificate is to take. He recently, it is reported on Rorate Caeili, referred to 'collegiality' . This is a buzz word used by the liberals and which is not mentioned in the Council.Then he has also recently referred to 'triumphalism'. Here he was  suggesting the Council says LG 16,LG 8 etc refer to visible cases of salvation and so is a break with the 'triumphalistic' past.-Lionel Andrades

Being a Catholic in the state of Grace is the only really assured means of achieving salvation, outside inextricable actions of the Trinity which are beyond our understanding.

Michael Voris: ask your priest, does he desire all souls to be Catholic?
In a brief phrase, yes or no? Several times, Popes and ecumenical councils have defined Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus: outside the Church there is no salvation. And while that is not an iron law – God can certainly save whom He Wills, and the Church does not know the contents of the souls in either Heaven or hell – I am of the belief that, objectively speaking, it is very difficult to see how souls outside the Church can be saved, without recourse to the Sacraments and all the torrents of Grace the Church offers. Certainly, there are mechanisms for that to occur, so to speak, but the ultimate goal of the Church should be that all souls are converted unto Her. Being a Catholic in the state of Grace is the only really assured means of achieving salvation, outside inextricable actions of the Trinity which are beyond our understanding.
But so few Catholics, even among our leadership, seem to believe that today. Michael Voris has another excellent video – he should go to Australia more often (even though these were recorded before………)
