Educating Oneself and Others for Freedom

Educating Oneself and Others for Freedom

In continuity with the previous reflection on the need for justice and on its intrinsic requirements,1 I would now like to spend some time on another sensitive topic of perennial interest: freedom. The intimate connection between these two pillars on which our life (the only one that has been granted …

The Trial of Our Lord Jesus Christ - The Encounter Between Two Pontiffs

The Trial of Our Lord Jesus Christ - The Encounter Between Two Pontiffs

Turning the pages of the Gospels, we are moved when we contemplate the marvels Our Saviour accomplished when He “became flesh and dwelt among us” (Jn 1:14). Impelled by infinite love, He brought us the Good News and confirmed it by countless miracles, not limited to restoring a natural well-being …

“I’ll become a famous nun!”

“I’ll become a famous nun!”

In the 21st century, more than two thousand years after the supreme Sacrifice on Calvary, holiness is often thought to be a passé ideal, incompatible with life in today’s world, unattainable in the midst of globalization, unthinkable in the world of instant messaging and social networks. This is what a …

Emmanuele Brunatto - Persecuting the Persecutors of Padre Pio

Emmanuele Brunatto - Persecuting the Persecutors of Padre Pio

Perhaps there was no place in the Europe of 1919 that surpassed Gargano in peace and tranquillity, a promontory which harmonized both the ruggedness and the innocence of landscapes hardly touched by human hands.

Conformism or Intransigence?

Conformism or Intransigence?

Conformism… A deplorable mentality at the root of so many disasters throughout history! It turned Lot’s wife into a statue of salt (cf. Gn 19:26), it led Aaron to make a golden calf at the foot of Horeb (cf. Ex 32:1-6), it brought divine reproof upon the piest Heli (cf. …

The Tribunal of Mercy

If there were a health clinic with physicians on hand capable of curing any disease without fail, there would be no need for advertising to make it the most popular in the world. Undoubtedly, the demand would necessitate the establishment of rules to avoid disorder and to allow the greatest …

Original Sin and the Incarnation of the Word - Man Aspires to Divinity, God Subjects Himself to Humanity

Original Sin and the Incarnation of the Word - Man Aspires to Divinity, God Subjects Himself to Humanity

As we contemplate the world around us, a question may arise: if God is the Designer of the whole universe, why did He not make it more perfect? How much more beautiful would be a creation without faults or defects: precious stones exposed to the light of the sun and …

The Holy Lady Who Will Not Enter Heaven

The Holy Lady Who Will Not Enter Heaven

Our fragile human nature contains two opposing laws within it: that of the flesh and that of the spirit. When we want to do good, it is wickedness that presents itself to us; when we strive for virtue, the desire of our members invites us to sin (cf. Rom 7:21-23). …

Some Sophisms of the Contemporary World - I let the reader choose the title of this article

In one of his famous brilliant quotes, Joseph De Maistre makes the following analogy: “False opinions are like false money, originally struck by criminals and thereafter circulated by honest people, who perpetuate the crime without knowing what they are doing.”1 These “coins”, in general, have a name: sophisms.
