The Franciscans of the Immaculate and the Joselitos Cristo communities in Rome, agree with me on seven points. There is no denial from them. However in reality they would project themselves as liberals, citing Cardinal Carlo Martini and Hans urs Balthazar.
But their acceptance of the seven points indicate that they can interpret Vatican Council II without the false premise.
The acceptance of the seven points by the two religious communities was also known to Catechists Ennio and the couple teaching catechism, Giorgio and Alessandra.
There was no denial to my written communication to all of them in the parish, when the Franciscans of the Immaculate were still there and there was Holy Mass in only Italian.
Neither was there a denial from Fabio Foglia, the Sacristan and Genetal Assistant, whose tenure ended with the two communities, on January 31 last month.
The seminary building of the Franciscans of the Immaculate, Boccea,is vacant.
Fr.Rosario Samaraco F.I was the last Rector.The seminary was closed down by Pope Francis. Fr. Settimo Mannelli f.i was the Rector of the seminary and the Parish Priest of the diocese.He offered Mass in Latin and Italian.
Since then Holy Mass is only being offered in Italian in the diocese.
When the Franciscans of the Immaculate and the Brazilian community now in Rome answer the seven points in the affirmative, they are saying that they can interpret Vatican Council II without the false premise, like me. -Lionel Andrades
