Fr. Settimo Manelli ffi and Fr. Giovanni Manelli ffi and Fr. Paulo Siano ffi were not present yesterday evening at the 50 years celebration of their former parish Santa Maria di Nazareth, Boccea, Rome. However the FFI priests who offer Mass in only Italian were present.The bishops who were invited could not be present it was announced. The old church of the parish which completes 50 years is in the possession of the lay members of the Franciscans of the Immaculate (FFI), the Comitato dell Immaculata. It must be remembered that Pope Francis closed down the Third Order of the FFI.
The doors
of the old church are open day and night after a break in and systemic
destruction of the interior over two weeks. The church has an open passageway
to the old seminary building in front of it, which Pope Francis closed in 2013.
The Mass in Italian at the new church yesterday evening was concelebrated by Fr. John Francisco ffi, the former Superior of the FFI and Rector of the seminary.He was approved by Pope Francis, after Fr. Stefano Manelli ffi, was replaced by Fr. Fidenzio Volpi.Also concelebrating was Fr. Giseppe Grioni ffi, the former Parish Priest at this parish, Santa Maria di Nazareth, Casalotti, Boccea.There was also Fr. Jose Vellozo, who was the Assistant Parish priest, after the Comitato dell Immaculate asked the Franciscans of the Immaculate ( Fr. Affonso Bruno's group) to leave.A concelebrant yesterday was Fr. Maximmilian M. Zingaharetti ffi ,the new Vicar General, and member of the new administration of the FFI, which has replaced the Commissar. There was no mention of the re-opening of the FFI seminary and church.
Before the intervention of Pope Francis in this Selva Candida-parish, some 10 or 11 years back I would attend Mass here offered in Italian and Latin by Fr. Settimo Mannelli ffi, the Parish Priest and Rector of the FFI seminary. He was not present yesterday.
At yesterday's Mass with Fr. Giuseppe and Fr. John Francesco present there was no mention of the Mannelli family and their contribution for the parish. The Mannellis were in the parish before Fr. Giuseppe and Fr. John Francesco were ordained priests.
Mass was followed by a procession with the statue of Our Lady through the streets of the parish.
The central problem in the parish, and Church, is the lack of Catholic faith and sacrifice.The priests who know the Catholic faith, are not proclaiming the Faith and this is being encourgaed by the Rome Vicariate.They do not want to be martyrs for Jesus Christ and His Church.Life in Boccea is also comfortable for the parishioners, most of whom drive to the church in their car.
There is tension with the Muslims of the area who come with threats. They want Catholics to follow Shariah. Then there is tension with the Masons of the Rome municipality who have their secular, anti-Catholic agenda. A school alongside the Chruch, which belonged to a Catholic missionary religious community, has been handed to Muslims and private ownership. There was no protest by the Catholics.
Muslim-Masonic police from countries like Pakistan, where Freemasony is banned, are the new 'magisterium' in this church, as in others.Muslims who do not believe there is exclusive salvation in only Jesus and the Catholic Church, do the Readings.Catholics like sheep respond , in the responsorial psalm.Those who do not affirm the Leftist agenda will be labelled 'terrorists' and then persecuted.
The Catholic Church is a community of believers. We have unity in doctrine and theology. Non Catholics who serve at the altar at morning Mass in this church of Santa Maria di Nazareth, are not part of the community of belivers.
Priests and altar servers must always be Catholic.There cannot be a non Muslim muezzin, for example, in a mosque calling Muslims to pray. This is something obvious.-Lionel Andrades
