Indonesia l’omosessualità è una malattia mentale


(di Alfredo De Matteo) L’ordine degli psicologi indonesiani ha recentemente deciso di classificare l’omosessualità come una malattia mentale. Particolarmente significativa la spiegazione fornita dal presidente dell’ordine Suzy Yusna Dewi, il quale in un’intervista rilasciata al Jakarta Post ha dichiarato che ciò «che realmente ci preoccupa è che queste tendenze sessuali, se non trattate come malattia, potrebbero diventare una condizione comunemente accettata nella società. (…) L’omosessualità viene innescata da fattori esterni, come l’ambiente sociale, e perciò può essere curata solo con un adeguato trattamento psichiatrico continuativo. Senza un intervento costante una persona può facilmente tornare alla sua tendenza sessuale precedente, anche dopo che ha dichiarato di essere guarita».
Lo scorso gennaio il ministro della difesa indonesiano paragonò la minaccia rappresentata dall’omosessualità ad un conflitto nucleare: «Se una bomba nucleare venisse sganciata su Jakarta, non avrebbe alcun effetto sul porto di Semarang. Ma in una guerra per i diritti, in un attimo tutto scompare». C’è da rilevare che in Indonesia i rapporti fra persone dello stesso sesso non sono considerati reato ma restano un tabù in larga parte della penisola, in special modo nelle zone dove è più massiccia la presenza di cittadini di fede islamica.
Ora, al di là delle opinioni individuali circa la natura dell’omosessualità, non possiamo che constatare come l’ideologia del gender abbia effettivamente iniziato a “prendere vita” a partire dalla “normalizzazione” del comportamento omosessuale, ossia dalla rimozione dell’omosessualità tra i disturbi psichiatrici da parte dell’OMS (Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità), avvenuta nel 1970. Da allora, l’ideologia del gender ha lentamente ma inesorabilmente guadagnato terreno, ottenendo via via sempre maggiori riconoscimenti sia a livello culturale che politico. È un fatto che, di questi tempi, in molti paesi del mondo vi sia una esplicita accettazione del comportamento contro natura, che si traduce nel varo di norme che non solo non contrastano le unioni gay, ma addirittura le incentivano o le pongono sullo stesso livello dell’unica forma di unione vera: quella tra un uomo ed una donna.
In effetti, che la si consideri una malattia o una perversione, che si individuino alcuni fattori eziologici piuttosto che altri, l’importante è che l’omosessualità venga considerata a livello pubblico per ciò che effettivamente è, ossia come un comportamento innaturale, contrario alla salute fisica, psicologica e spirituale delle singole persone e della società nel suo complesso, al pari di altri comportamenti oggettivamente disordinati come ad esempio l’incesto e la pedofilia. Altrimenti il rischio è di innescare una bomba ad orologeria che prima o poi deflagrerà, come ha efficacemente messo in luce il ministro della difesa indonesiano, paragonando una rovinosa guerra nucleare a quella per i (pseudo) diritti gay.
Qualsiasi forma di contrasto a quella che ormai può essere tranquillamente definita come una vera e propria dittatura omosessualista, non può dunque prescindere dalla condanna pubblica dell’omosessualità. Del resto, non mancano i dati che mostrano in modo inequivocabile come l’adozione di uno stile di vita omosessuale non faccia altro che portare all’infelicità e financo alla morte spirituale, oltreché costituire la causa prima di una vasta gamma di disturbi psicologici e terribili malattie.

Il tradimento storico dei “cattolici”

Il tradimento storico dei “cattolici”

alfano-renzi
(di Roberto de Mattei) L’approvazione dello pseudo-matrimonio omosessuale, avvenuta al Senato il 25 febbraio 2016, con 173 sì, 71 no e 76 assenze è l’ultima tappa di un processo di dissoluzione della società italiana che parte dall’introduzione del divorzio (1970), passa per la legalizzazione dell’aborto (1978) e ha il suo prossimo, imminente passo, nella legalizzazione dell’eutanasia.
Si comprende bene, in questa prospettiva, l’esultazione della stampa laicista. «Nella lunga e tortuosa storia della liberazione sessuale dell’Italia – scrive Francesco Merlo su La Repubblica del 26 febbraio – questa legge ha lo stesso valore epocale della legge sul divorzio e di quella che regola l’aborto». Ciò che hanno in comune questi tre eventi è il tradimento consumato dagli uomini di governo cattolici. Il divorzio passò sotto un governo di centro-sinistra presieduto dal democristiano Emilio Colombo. L’aborto fu varato da un governo democristiano, presieduto da Giulio Andreotti.
La Democrazia Cristiana è caduta, ma i principali responsabili della nuova legge, il presidente del Consiglio Matteo Renzi ed il Ministro dell’Interno Angelino Alfano, si definiscono, come Colombo e Andreotti, cattolici praticanti. Se il ministro Alfano avesse minacciato le dimissioni avrebbe reso impossibile, o almeno avrebbe procrastinato, il passaggio della legge, ma il politico siciliano ha preferito comportarsi come Andreotti, che il 21 gennaio 1977 annotava sul suo diario: «Seduta a Montecitorio per il voto sull’aborto. Passa con 310 a favore e 296 contro. Mi sono posto il problema della controfirma a questa legge (lo ha anche Leone per la firma) ma se mi rifiutassi non solo apriremmo una crisi appena (dopo aver? ) cominciato a turare le falle, ma oltre a subire la legge sull’aborto la Dc perderebbe anche la presidenza e sarebbe davvero più grave» (Diari 1976-1979. Gli anni della solidarietà, Rizzoli, Milano 1981, pp. 73). La perdita della presidenza di un governo veniva considerata più grave dell’omicidio, per legge, di milioni di innocenti.
Che cosa prevede il provvedimento che prende il nome dalla senatrice Monica Cirinnà? La legge sulle unioni civili, come ha spiegato il giurista Alberto Gambino suLibero del 26 gennaio, è un istituto para-matrimoniale, in cui sono previsti gli stessi diritti e doveri del matrimonio: assistenza morale e materiale, coabitazione, diritti patrimoniali, prerogative in materia di lavoro, previdenza, fisco, assegnazione degli alloggi, persino il nome comune e la comunione di beni.
L’unico diritto matrimoniale che non è riconosciuto è quello dell’adozione, ma la signora Cirinnà ha annunciato che «un disegno di legge sulle adozioni per lecoppie omosessuali è quasi pronto. Verrà incardinato alla Camera, dove i numeri sono sicuri, in modo che arriverà al Senato blindato» (Il Fatto quotidiano, 26 febbraio). Se ciò non bastasse, ci penserà l’Europa. La Corte europea dei Diritti dell’Uomo ha stabilito infatti che, una volta inserito nell’ordinamento un istituto sostanzialmente uguale al matrimonio, anche se lo si chiama “unione civile”, diventa obbligatorio introdurre le adozioni per evitare discriminazioni.
La legge Cirinnà, divenuta la legge Renzi-Alfano, malgrado lo stralcio delle adozioni omosessuali, è in sé iniqua e inaccettabile, non solo perché introduce uno pseudo-matrimonio gay, ma perché attribuisce diritti agli omosessuali in quanto tali. Secondo la dottrina cattolica, ma prima ancora la legge naturale, l’omosessualità, o sodomia, è un vizio dell’uomo che sovverte i princìpi dell’ordine morale. Ma Angelino Alfano ha dichiarato ad Agorà su Rai3: «Io non ho mai minacciato il governo sul caso delle adozioni per le famiglie omosessuali, farò di tutto per arrivare a un accordo. (…) Sul Ddl Cirinnà voto sì se si tolgono le adozioni per i gay. Io sono a favore dei diritti per le coppie anche omosessuali. Sono assolutamente aperto» (La Repubblica, 5 febbraio 2016).
Ha ragione Merlo dunque quando scrive che «comunque la si guardi, questa legge è dunque una nuova Porta Pia», perché «svaticanizza (ossia decristianizza) l’Italia» (La Repubblica, 26 febbraio 2016). Ma come ignorare le responsabilità delle gerarchie ecclesiastiche in questa decristianizzazione dell’Italia? Il vaticanista Giuseppe Rusconi osserva che «amarezza e rabbia», oltre che verso i politici cattolici, «si indirizzano contro un altro bersaglio: il segretario generale della Conferenza episcopale italiana, il vescovo Nunzio Galantino» (Rossoporpora, 26 febbraio), esponente di punta di quella “Chiesa in uscita” che «al confronto aperto e anche duro preferisce – in particolare sui temi della famiglia e della vita – un dialogo imprecisato e a oltranza con il potere che si sviluppa tra corridoi e incontri conviviali».
C’è da aggiungere che nessuna parola è venuta da chi ricopre la carica di Vescovo di Roma e Primate d’Italia. Sotto questo aspetto, la legge approvata in Senato è una pesante sconfitta per tutti i cattolici, compresi coloro che hanno definito “una vittoria” del Family Day, lo stralcio dell’adozione di bambini da parte di coppie omosessuali (stepchild adoption). È stata proprio questa “vittoria” però a rendere possibile l’accordo Renzi-Alfano, che ha avuto come risultato una colossale disfatta per il mondo cattolico. Una manifestazione di piazza è sempre un messaggio forte che si invia a qualcuno e l’importanza del Family Day sta nel fatto che c’è stato.
Il mondo cattolico in Italia è sempre stato restio a grandi manifestazioni pubbliche perché ha sempre cercato di evitare lo scontro aperto con l’avversario, illudendosi di vincere attraverso il compromesso. Ma la rinuncia alla lotta è il presupposto della sconfitta. Bisogna dunque rallegrarsi per la manifestazione del 30 gennaio, perché ha espresso lo spirito militante di un popolo convenuto con sforzi e sacrifici da tutta Italia per far sentire la sua voce. Ma non bisogna confondere la base del Family Day con i rappresentanti del mondo cattolico.
Non bisogna confondere le intenzioni e i progetti degli organizzatori della manifestazione, con il messaggio forte che è venuto dalla piazza. Il popolo del Family Day è un popolo che ha perduto una battaglia, ma che intende proseguire la guerra. E lo fa anche mobilitandosi, fin da ora, per un referendum integralmente abrogativo della legge che introduce le unioni omosessuali in Italia. Il prossimo appuntamento è a Roma l’8 maggio per la Marcia per la Vita. (Roberto de Mattei)

LOWEST PURGATORY by M. Brown

LOWEST PURGATORY
Adapted from After Life:
How does God determine if we go to Purgatory and at what level?
Humans are unable to judge where anyone will go. God's judgments are different from those of the world. He takes into account infinite factors. He takes into account things we would never know or even think of. He takes into account hidden burdens as well as obvious factors like character and temperament. He takes into account the wisdom we're raised with. He takes into account our genetic baggage. Only He knows how much He must purify us because only He knows the secret recesses of a soul.
This much we can surmise: at the lowest reaches of Purgatory, in the bowels of the earth, are those who have very seriously offended God and would have gone to Hell but for last-minute mercy, last-minute repentance, last-minute reprieve. At the low level are probably murderers, occultists, abortionists, rapists, child molesters, thieves, tyrants, sadists, and those involved in various criminal activities.
A safe bet is that you'd also find repentant adulterers, sodomists, and idolaters.
Museum of the Poor Souls in Purgatory, Rome
No matter the sin, if a person repents he is saved from the eternal fire and instead finds his way to the fire of purgatory.
But what a fire it is! It's always described as hotter than any earthly fire. There, an hour of torment is more terrible than an entire lifetime of suffering on earth. I've seen descriptions of souls who are in a covered well full of fantastic heat and there are accounts of departed souls who've returned as apparitions and done such things as leave a burnt hand mark on a wood door as if with a red-hot iron. When Drythelm saw the valley there was "all fire on one side, all ice and snow on the other; on the one hand braziers and caldrons of flame, on the other the most intense cold and the blast of a glacial wind. This mysterious valley was filled with innumerable souls, which, tossed as by a furious tempest, threw themselves from one side to the other. When they could no longer endure the violence of the fire, they sought relief amidst the ice and snow; but finding only a new torture, they cast themselves again into the midst of the flames."
It may surprise you that there's fire in Purgatory but such is mentioned by many mystics. God purifies with His fire, and the lowest levels of Purgatory are similar to Hell. The soul may even have a disfigured or beastly quality but unlike Hell those who are at any level of Purgatory bear the consolation of knowing their souls are saved and that one day they'll be allowed into Heaven. No matter the intensity of their suffering (and it is intense) there is the consoling realization that God exists and that one day they will be in His Presence.
Display case, museum of the poor souls, Rome
The sentences God metes out rely on innumerable factors but one might surmise that lowest Purgatory also has its share of liars, conmen, philanderers, false prophets, fortunetellers, money-grabbers, and those who have repented but not yet expiated for their misdeeds. Just as we can never judge the destination of a particular soul, neither can we take sin and neatly categorize it. It's not possible to give a roadmap of where sin will lead in the afterlife. It depends on God. It depends on what we have accumulated and what we have cleared through Confession.
The best I can do is present the comments of those who claim to have seen Purgatory.
One woman who tried to commit suicide in 1991 recalled a death experience in which she landed on a shadowy plane with black mist swirling around her.
The mist formed a barrier that kept her prisoner and it was like space but without a single glimmering star.
What comes to mind again is the "outer darkness" referred to by Christ in Matthew8:12, for the fog-like mist had mass -- "it seemed to be formed of molecules of intense darkness" -- and the woman, Angie Fenimore, saw men and women of all ages but no children.
The people were squatting or wandering around and there seemed to be a darkness that flowed from deep within them. They were crippled by it. They were so absorbed with it, so caught up in their own woe, that they didn't want to participate in mental or emotional exchange.
Some wore dirty white robes. Others were deeply soiled. They were there to admit and understand the mistakes in their lives and it was a place, she said, of stifling torment "that awaited me for taking my own life."
From the Soviet Union came a similar account of a man whose sin was atheism. Like suicide, atheism robs God of His role as Creator and landed the man, a medical doctor named George Rodonaia, in a very frightening place when he "died" in 1976 after being hit by a car.
Dr. Rodonaia (now a Christian minister in the U.S.) was dead for hours, until a pathologist began to cut his abdomen during an autopsy!
Like Angie he had found himself in a realm of total darkness. The gloom was absolute, "darker than any dark, blacker than any black," and he was both shocked and horrified.
He was shocked that he existed without a body and horrified at the void in which he found himself.
It was only when he turned from his negativity that the Light of God broke that awful darkness.
St. Catherine of Genoa informed us that "souls in a state of purification are tormented to the point that words cannot describe, nor can any intelligence give even the slightest idea unless God manifests this through a special grace."
While certain purgatories are not so bad, at the low places, at the deep levels, it's very trying. In 1873 a holy nun identified only as Sister M. de L.C. in a French convent began to hear prolonged sighs beside her. The strange noises from an invisible presence went on and came nearer. In February of 1874, after much prayer and many Communions, the presence finally identified itself to Sister M as the spirit of a second nun we'll call Sister O who had also been at the convent but who died several years before and was now in Purgatory.
"Great sinners who were indifferent towards God, and religious who were not what they should have been, are in the lowest stage of Purgatory," revealed Sister O. "While they are there, the prayers offered up for them are not applied to them. Because they have ignored God during their lives, He now in His turn leaves them abandoned in order that they may repair their neglectful and worthless lives. While on earth one truly cannot picture or imagine what God really is, but we in Purgatory know and understand Him for what He is, because our souls are freed from all ties that fettered them and prevented them from realizing the holiness and majesty of God, and His great mercy. We are martyrs, consumed as it were by love. An irresistible force draws us towards God Who is our center, but at the same time another force thrusts us back to our place of expiation.
"We are in a state of being unable to satisfy our longings. Oh, what a suffering that is, but we desire it and there is no murmuring against God here. We desire only what God wants. You on earth, however, cannot possibly understand what we have to endure. I am much relieved as I am no longer in the fire. I have now only the insatiable desire to see God, a suffering cruel enough indeed, but I feel that the end of my exile is at hand and that I am soon to leave this place where I long for God with all my heart.
"I can tell you about the different degrees of Purgatory because I have passed through them. In the great Purgatory there are several stages. In the lowest and most painful, like a temporary Hell, are the sinners who have committed terrible crimes during life and whose death surprised them in that state. It was almost a miracle that they were saved, and often by prayers of holy parents or other pious persons. Sometimes they did not even have time to confess their sins and the world thought them lost, but God, Whose mercy is infinite, gave them at the moment of death the contrition necessary for their salvation on account of one or more good actions which they performed during life. For such souls, Purgatory is terrible. It is real Hell, with this difference, that in Hell they curse God, whereas we bless Him and thank Him for having saved us.
"Next to these come the souls, who though they did not commit great crimes like the others, were indifferent to God. They did not fulfill their Easter duties and were also converted at the point of death. Perhaps they were unable to receive Holy Communion. They are in Purgatory for the long years of indifference. They suffer unheard of pains and are abandoned either without prayers or if they are said for them, they are not allowed to profit by them.
"In the second Purgatory are the souls of those who died with venial sins not fully expiated before death, or with mortal sins that have been forgiven but for which they have not made entire satisfaction to the Divine Justice. In this part of Purgatory, there are also different degrees according to the merits of each soul.
Nightshirt of Joseph Leleux, Poor Souls Museum
"Lastly, there is the Purgatory of desire which is called the Threshold. Very few escape this. To avoid it altogether, one must ardently desire Heaven and the Vision of God. That is rare, rarer than people think, because even pious people are afraid of God and have not, therefore, sufficiently strong desire of going to Heaven. This Purgatory has its very painful martyrdom like the others. The deprivation of the sight of our loving Jesus adds to the intense suffering. It is a continuous martyrdom. It makes me suffer more than does the fire of Purgatory. It is so beautiful in Heaven. There is a great distance between Purgatory and Heaven. We are privileged at times to catch glimpses of the joys of the blessed in paradise, but it is almost a punishment. It makes us yearn to see God. In Heaven it is pure delight; in Purgatory, profound darkness. Oh, how I desire to go to Heaven! What a martyrdom we suffer once we have seen God!"

LENT IS SPECIAL TIME TO CLEANSE AND PROTECT AGAINST SPIRITS THAT CAN TRANSFER THROUGH PEOPLE AND SIN

Though society and even the Church often turn a blind eye to the workings of spirits, the fact is that they exist and the fact is also that -- among their repertoire -- is what might be called "spiritual transference": spiritual energies can be transmitted through people, communication, and things, including at a distance. A person can walk right in with a spirit attached to her or him.

Did you ever receive an e-mail that had a special, persistent "poison" or sting -- beyond psychological? A communication -- via phone, via regular letter, in person -- that left an acute, almost tangible oppression or tension (or both)? Have strange things occurred after connecting with someone who may have spiritual baggage?
When someone is involved in an illicit activity -- especially sexual, drug-wise, or the occult -- it has repercussions.
It can be a spiritual "virus."

Archbishop Pozzo must not change the teachings of the Church to please his superiors

Archbishop Pozzo must not  change the teachings of the Church to please his superiors.Pope Benedict XVI allowed the theological corruption to remain when he could have eliminated  it. He then chose people to be nominated on the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith who would not be whistleblowers and would allow the irrational observation which is the basis of the new theology, to remain.
Now Archbishop Pozzo and the Pope Francis want the SSPX to come into the Church accepting the false innterpretation of Vatican Council II, the Nicene Creed, the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 and the Baltimore Catechism.1

He makes the following doctrinal error in the interpretation of Vatican Council II and the SSPX has to accept it for canonical status.

1) Being saved with the baptism of desire(BOD)  or in invincible ignorance(I.I) , as mentioned in the Letter of the Holy Office and in Vatican Council II (AG 7, LG 14) refer to explicit cases cases for him. He does not deny this. 
BOD and I.I should not have been mentioned in Vatican Council II since they are invisible cases for us.They are not relevant or exceptions to the strict interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS).This was a mistake in the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 which assumed these cases were objectively known and so were exceptions to the Feneeyite interpretation of EENS.
So they were mentioned in Vatican Council II and this is not a mistake for Archbishop Pozzo.
2) Since the Lettter of the Holy Office assumed being saved in invincible ignorance referrred to known cases, these 'known' cases, became objective exceptions to the traditional Feeneyite interpretation of the dogma EENS.So every one did not any more need  to enter the Church but only those who 'knew',who were not in invincible ignorance.This new doctrine in LG 14, AG 7 contradicts the traditional interpretation of the dogma EENS. It also contradicts the orthodox passages in  Vatican Council II (AG 7, LG 14) which support the dogma EENS.Archbishop Pozzo accepts all this and does not consider it a doctrinal error.
Neither does he interpret BOD and I.I as referring to invisible cases and so they are not exceptions to the dogma EENS. So really there is nothing in Vatican Council II to contradict the 'strict interpretation of EENS.He will not make this doctrinal claim.
3) The SSPX like Archbishop Pozzo  has to continue to interpret Vatican Council II (AG 7, LG 14) as referring to explicit cases and so Vatican Council becomes a break with the dogma EENS.-Lionel Andrades

Priest Wanted : Saint Benedict Center

Priest Wanted

THIS IS A SPECIAL AD REM.
Dear Readers,

Saint Benedict Center is once again actively seeking out a full-time priest. The cleric who was here on an experimental basis for the last six months has returned to his home Diocese. We are looking for another priest to fill the role as soon as possible.

As we are close to Holy Week, a temporary fill in would be welcome. 

Here in southern New Hampshire are a small group of religious brothers, sisters, and traditional Catholic lay faithful (200+ on Sundays). We have a small school, too, and do some publishing, such as the Catholicism.org web site.
Interested priests who are able to offer the traditional Latin Mass are asked to call or send inquiries to Brother André Marie:

Prayers to Find a Priest

O Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, please speedily send us a priest who will serve our sacramental needs in accordance with the Holy Will of God, and who will be a boon to the apostolate of the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, our Center, our School, and all our families.
 

Let us Pray
O God, Who didst wondrously inflame blessed John, Thy Confessor, to promote the public worship of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, and through him didst will to found new religious families in Thy Church: grant, we beseech Thee, that we who venerate his merits may also be taught by the example of his virtues, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. (Oration from the Feast of St. John Eudes: August 19)
  • Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have mercy on us!
  • Immaculate Heart of Mary, Pray for us!
  • Saint John Eudes, Pray for us!
Note: The religious are offering these prayers in our houses along with our regular spiritual exercises. We ask individuals and families to join us in these prayers. Uniting them, for instance, to the family Rosary would be an excellent idea.
