Alessandro Pajno an Italian Magistrate and politician is promoting a political library on Islamism at Palermo, supported by Alberto Melloni and the FSCIRE and funded by the Italian Government in which they interpret Vatican Council II, the Creeds and other Magisterial Documents irrationally to present a liberal and ‘open’ interpretation of the Catholic faith.This is dishonest.
The library in Palermo is
administered by the Board of Directors of FSCIRE, chaired by Professor
Alessandro Pajno, and follows a few clear principles: scientific excellence,
which makes us think of dissemination as a consequence of knowledge, not as a
substitute for it; a system of top-level international relations, which through
the network of the European Research Infrastructure of Religious Sciences
enhances Italian leadership and visibility; full independence from universities
and religious communities, which avoids opportunistic conditioning and allows
for rigorous and open competitions.

It is not scientific when the FSCIRE of Alberto Melloni interprets Vatican Council II with a fake premise and inference and calls it 'scientific'. There is no denial from Melloni or Francesca Cadeddu who feature on Radio Radical.
Since 2018,( at the Giorgio Pira
Library, Palermo, Italy ) librarians and researchers have established, and
continue to establish, collaborations and relationships with major institutions
in numerous countries, including Albania, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan,
Bangladesh, Bosnia, China, Egypt, Russian Federation, Jordan, Dubai,
Kazakhstan, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Libya, Mali, Morocco, Malaysia,
Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Syria, Sudan, Tanzania, Tunisia, Tajikistan,
Turkey, Turkmenistan, USA, and Yemen. The collaborations are aimed at the
acquisition of duplicates, rare items and gifts, following in the footsteps of
the great libraries of Islamic tradition.

The librarians and researchers are presenting a political
version of the Catholic Faith to Muslim scholars.

The interpretation of Vatican Council II
by the FSCIRE and the Giorgio Pira library is irrational and not rational. This
is unethical.
In 2019, La Pira Library began a
number of projects, including: hosting the International Biennial Conference
2021, held by IQSA - The International Quranic Studies Association; hosting the
permanent exhibition of the photographic exhibition on Egypt and Yemen, created
and curated by Professor Giovanni Canova.
According to Vatican Council II
interpreted rationally, Ad Gentes 7 says all need faith and baptism for
salvation while LG 14, LG 16 etc refer to hypothetical and invisible cases in
1965-2023 and so do not contradict Ad Gentes 7 or the Catechism of the Catholic
Church (845,846) which says outside the Church there is no salvation and that
the Catholic Church is like the Ark of Noah that saves in the Flood and God the
Father wants all to enter for salvation (CCC 845). The Catechism of Pope Pius X
(24Q, 27), which is not contradicted by Vatican Council II, interpreted
rationally, says other religions are not paths to salvation. Muslims need
Catholic faith and the baptism of water to avoid Hell is the Conciliar
teaching. Muhammad died without faith and baptism. This information is not
disseminated.
According to pre and post Vatican
Council II traditional theology there is exclusive salvation in only the
Catholic Church and Mohammad ignored this information and founded a new
religion. According to Vatican Council II, those who know about the Catholic
Church and do not enter are lost forever (LG 14).
Inter-religious dialogue is good and it
must be encouraged by the truth about Catholic teachings must also be made
known.
According to Vatican Council II all the
non Christians working at the Giorgio Pira Library, Palermo, are oriented to
Hell without Catholic faith and the baptism of water (AG 7, LG 14). This is the
official teaching of the Church. This is the Magisterial teaching of the
Catholic Church and not a personal view only.
Francesca Cadeddu is a researcher at Alberto Melloni’s FSCIRE,the President of the European Academy of Religion and is a researcher at the University of Moderna Regina-Emilia. I have mentioned before that she interprets Vatican Council II irrationally and unethically and writes books in praise of John Courtney Murray, who did the same. There is no denial from her. Murray, like Rahner, Ratzinger, Congar, Lefebvre and Kung interpreted Vatican Council II irrationally and not rationally.
They will continue to interpret Vatican Council II irrationally and present their liberal version to Muslim scholars.While controversial Muslim scholars and speakers, some who have been associated with the Pontifcal Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies (PISAI), Rome will have their writings documented at the Pira Library in Palermo. -Lionel Andrades
