How Can I Tell If An Ovarian Cyst Has Twisted

303-4 ^ SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME ( YEAR A) - January 30, 2011

From the Gospel according to Matthew (Mt 5: 1-12a)
At that time, seeing the crowds, he went up the mountain: he sat down and came to him the his disciples. He began to speak and taught them, saying
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is
the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted
.
Blessed are the meek,
they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, they shall be satisfied
.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy
. Blessed are the
puri di cuore,
perché vedranno Dio.
Beati gli operatori di pace,
perché saranno chiamati figli di Dio.
Beati i perseguitati per la giustizia,
perché di essi è il regno dei cieli.
Beati voi quando vi insulteranno, vi perseguiteranno e, mentendo, diranno ogni sorta di male contro di voi per causa mia. Rallegratevi ed esultate, perché grande è la vostra ricompensa nei cieli».
.
Commento

Beati i poveri davanti a Dio... Che messaggio! Lascia che Dio ti colmi! Egli ti ama malgrado la tua povertà, malgrado i tuoi limiti. Quando sei addolorato dall’effimero della felicità umana sempre minacciata, when you feel poor, when the affliction paralyzes you, listen to the great promise of God will be comforted, fed you, you will see God .. This promise is at the heart of our faith. All the good news of Jesus is reflected in the Beatitudes as a burning glass. One who has accepted the good news in the depths of himself and in which this truth reaches the roots of existence, of course, become a merciful and lenient in judging that on others. Will be able to spread peace, because he himself possess it.
If only we were able to live according to the basic attitude of the Beatitudes! If only we could love and trust as Jesus! Perhaps then many men who have made life bitter and closed, to which the many disappointments have lost faith in God and in men, perhaps they could also start to believe in the goodness of God and in his concern, through the kindness and concern human. Perhaps then, many men could still count on God to build on this good earth, and give us what we hoped and expected throughout our lives: the security and joy. A joy that reigns.

Considerate la vostra chiamata, fratelli: non ci sono fra voi molti sapienti dal punto di vista umano, né molti potenti, né molti nobili.
Ma quello che è stolto per il mondo, Dio lo ha scelto per confondere i sapienti; quello che è debole per il mondo, Dio lo ha scelto per confondere strong, what is low and despised in the world, that is nothing, God chose him to reduce to nothing things that are, because no one may boast before God

Word of the Lord's Prayer of the Faithful


The Beatitudes which Jesus proclaimed is a promise and a task that was entrusted to us. We pray to the Father, to guide us and sustain us so that we can translate those recommendations into attitudes to life. Please
saying: Lord hear us.

1. Why Christians will abandon the faith and trust with the following of Jesus, winning the temptation of selfishness and pride, please.
2. Because those who suffer can find consolation in the Lord and a sincere and fraternal support us, please.
3. Why does the Lord remove from the heart of the bullying arrogance and full of goodness and spirit of service, we pray.
4. Why do we feel called to be peacemakers and witnesses of the Gospel in various situations that constitute our daily lives, we pray.
5. For those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, so that they can be strong and generous in the test, please.

O Father, you know that we are not able to live the beatitudes so as Jesus had taught. But with your help we can commit ourselves, with generosity, we want to be like you. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Prayer bids
Welcome with goodness, O Lord, these gifts
that we, your holy people, we lay on the altar,
and turn them into a sacrament of salvation.
through Christ our Lord.



Communion Antiphon
Fa 'shine on your servant the light of your face,
and save me for your mercy.
Let me not be ashamed,
Lord, I cried. (Ps 31.17 to 18)

Or
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is
il regno dei cieli.
Beati i miti, perché erediteranno la terra. (Mt 5,3.5)

Preghiera dopo la comunione
O Dio, che ci hai nutriti alla tua mensa,
fa’ che per la forza di questo sacramento,
sorgente inesauribile di salvezza,
la vera fede si estenda sino ai confini della terra.
Per Cristo nostro Signore.

Fondo manoscritto

Ancor più prezioso per contenuto, valore artistico e storico è il piccolo fondo manoscritto, totalmente cartaceo, ad eccezione di una pergamena settecentesca.
1. Il primo, e per bellezza e per antichità, è un ms. cartaceo miniato (42,2x28,5cm) di 10 ff. r-v (8r-10v non scritti), che deve ascriversi a un Rituale: più precisamente è un abrégé del rito De benedictione et consecratione virginum che si può riscontrare p. es. nel Pontificale Romanum (Romae 1645, pp. 159-190 ). La musica in tetragrammi Gregorian was composed specifically as it deviates from the Gregorian in Rome. The plates are coated cardboard covered in pink silk with gold thread border of 4 cm in green velvet, which contain a diamond of the same velvet with edges tangent angles of internal closures consist of six green silk ribbons applied to three pairs on the edge of opening. The
ms., Where the scribe is unknown to us, free of chronic and due date from the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century, it opens as a full-page title with the coat color of the Acquaviva d'Aragona surmounted by the crown comitale; back through the outer door (ink and watercolor) depicts the Virgin and Child with two saints virgins enclosed in una cornice d’azzurro con 6 volute floreali di color verde e giallo ai 4 angoli e al centro(in allegato): sul capo una corona di 12 stelle, intorno è circondata da piccoli angeli alati e più in alto si libra la colomba, simbolo dello Spirito Santo, ai piedi un dragone artigliato con le fauci spalancate, reminiscenza dell’Apocalisse.
Il testo, che esprime accenti intensi d’amore dell’ancilla Christi*, è solo musicale, ed è tutto racchiuso nella stessa cornice dell’antiporta. Tutti i capilettera sono vergati in vignette quadre con fondo azzurro e lettere in oro. Il dittongo ae si alterna con la e cedigliata (ę).
Mediocre è lo stato di conservazione: tarli diffusi hanno aggredito la retrocoperta e ossidazioni del colore hanno creato parziali lacune e frammentazioni nella decorazione degli angoli inferiori destri a causa della frequente manipolazione.
*Et nunc sequimur. Et nunc sequimur in toto corde. Et nunc sequimur in toto code, timemus te et quęrimus faciem tuam videre, Domine ne confundas nos, sed fac nobis iuxta mansuetudinem tuam et secundum multitidinem misericordiae tuae (ff. 1r-3r). Regnum mundi et omnem ornatum sęculi contempsi propter amorem Domini nostri Iesu Christi, quem vidi, quem amavi, in quem credidi, quem dilexi (ff. 3v-4r). Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum, dico opera mea regi (f. 4r). Quem vidi, quem amavi, in quem credidi, quem dilexi (f. 4v). Ancilla Christi sum ideo me ostendo ser/vilem habere personam (ff. 4v-5r). Posuit signum in faciem meam ut nullum propter eum amatorem admittam (f. 5r). Ipsi sum desponsata cui angeli serviunt cuius pulchritudinem sol et luna mirantur (f. 5v). Annulo suo subarra/vit me Dominus meus Iesus Christus, et tamquam sponsam decoravit me corona (ff. 5v-6r). Induit me Domi/nus cyclade auro texta et immensis monili bus ornavit me (f. 6v). Ecce quod concupivi iam video, quod spe/ravi iam teneo, illi sum iuncta in cęlis quem in terris posita tota devotione dilexi (ff. 6v-7r). Mel et lac ex eius / ore suscepi, et sanguis eius ornavit genas meas (ff. 7r-v).
Vi è allegato un codicetto ms. (40,5x29) che contiene solo il testo scritto precedente: anch’esso è racchiuso in a polychrome floral frame with Drop Caps in gold, now almost entirely lost, and shortly after the previous one.
2. Codex of June 7, 1626 (27.7 x21, 2) shows that the rite of monastic profession adjusted to ease the nuns from d. Peter Guidotto chaplain. The text is framed within a double frame two-tone (sepia, and red) and consists of 11 sheets rv (written up to 6v) with addenda mss. of 1651 and 1655 on ff. 10v-11r (which acts as a rear guard sheet). The light blanket is lined in red silk, worn in parts, with borders of embroidery in yellow and gold on which are sewn four flakes in the shape of the cross from which hang two ribbons of orange silk. The conservation status is less than mediocre.
3. On the same rite is penned another codex, attributed to the same century, but shortly after the previous one, with whom he shared the same characteristics as covered but a slightly smaller size (25.5 x19).
4. Sec. XVIII should be ascribed third codex with leather cover still on the ritual of monks.
5. Particularly beautiful is the binding of the codex (33x25) still on the same rite, dated 1857 and prepared by the SAC. A (ntonius) M (air) to C (Apone): the leather edges and engraved with scrolls contain some gold in the pot before the Easter lamb crouched on the book and enriched with polychrome quilt multicolored coral, and the back plate miter badessale crossed to X and from the pastoral cross.
6. A century of 35 ff. rv.
7. Very simple small devotional manuals of 1829, 1829 and 1850 with a booklet format.

How To Make An Sandball

as religion has become increasingly removed from the verification of the facts

In the previous article "How scientifically prove that one religion is true " episode I spoke of Elijah and the priests of Baal, in which the prophet of Yahweh cult to challenge the priests of the other invoke the intervention of their gods, a sort of duel between the two gods. And of course Elia wins (and the 450 priests massacred defeated).

In this article I intend to show how religion was originally a way of explaining the world, providing falsifiable explanations, and how then was forced to abandon many of its claims to provide an explanation by the advance of science and culture in general.

Frequency of English language books containing the words 'science' and 'religion' ( Google Ngram )

The ancients believed the Bible stories actually

The importance of the 'experiment' of Elijah is in his testimony of how the relationship between religious claims and the factual findings changed over time has gone. from The concerned it is clear that Elijah was possible to demonstrate that Yahweh was the true God, and how this demonstration was accepted by the people of Israel.

For so long, religion has permeated virtually every area of \u200b\u200bhuman life. For example, religion provided an explanation of nature: the formation of the universe, the motion of the planets, the weather, the birth of animals, the existence of suffering and the causes of diseases. But his influence extended well: it provided the laws, dictated the form of government of a country, was the source of morality and the source of history and myth.

The faithful of those ancient times believed that really what was contained in the sacred texts correspond to the truth, because they did not have many opportunities to verify claims history, culture and science that you read. And this had the consequence that the authors of the religious traditions they had considerable freedom of action.

For this reason, the God of the Old Testament can disperse the people gathered to build the Tower of Babel is not doing more about them the same language, but many different, so Yahweh sent the flood to cover all the lands and kills all men , but Noah is saved on the ark, which is why it is said that God himself has appeared to Moses, the Pharaoh that the country that does not free the slaves is suffering from terrible wounds and devastating, that the sea is open to the face of Moses, the Jews conquer Canaan razing, among other cities, Jericho is for this reason that God is represented in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah spectacular. And so on, are difficult to verify many stories from people that were told.

The scientific and cultural progress has reduced the increasingly religious teaching

Time passes and the world changes, Israel will start to feel and accept the influence of Greek culture (the version of the Bible they use is that of the Catholics Greek translation, the Septuagint) and then the political and legislative Roman. And the effects are seen.

The New Testament tells of 'myths' qualitatively different from those of antiquity, and contains statements of a lesser degree. God does not intervene more directly in the history of Israel, but through a human being, whose actions, however wondrous, they have the same impact on the surrounding world that had the Yahweh of the Old Testament. There are no more universal floods or destruction of the city (the Roman historians they would record what had happened), but possessed of healing and the crippled, the resurrection of some characters on the edge of the world the culture, etc., all of which events is possible to doubt that historians have remained unaware.

Time passes again, and again change the world, men started to investigate the nature, to explain the motion of planets and stars, atmospheric phenomena, the causes of diseases, the emergence of new species; reconstruct its history and that of people missing, based on the preserved remains of the past, starting to lay the foundation of existing legislation, forms of government and morals outside of religion.

In fact, today no one takes seriously the Bible as a source of scientific knowledge, historical and moral: those who say that the Sun revolves around the Earth, or that a flood actually covered the earth's surface, or stoning adulterers is a good thing - because it is written in the Bible - are seen at best people as a bit 'touched.

But this is the result of a subtraction of areas with the authority of the Bible. Originally, as mentioned, people believed that what was written in the Bible was true . To take just one example, the first Egyptologists genuinely surprised not to find any trace of the plagues of Egypt or the departure of the Jews in Egyptian documents, as they were surprised to discover that at the time of the alleged Exodus Canaan was under Egyptian control or that Jericho was destroyed centuries before the arrival of Jews

As that knowledge and the thought of humans spreading out, religion was relinquish control of the various fields of knowledge, reducing, step by step, more and more restricted to areas, so that today the people interpret the Bible in the light of modern culture and science. The Bible says that there was a flood? Science denies it, so the biblical narrative is allegorical. Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden? No trace of a scientific primordial human pair, then a narrative allegory. Is ordered to kill homosexuals? Laws are unacceptable to the modern morality, so they are all allegories or a legacy of archaic thinking.


If, therefore, it is claimed that science can not verify the religious claims, if it is stated that religion and science are two non-overlapping magisteria , it is because religion has been forced to abandon all verifiable claims. And still others will have to leave.

But this will be the subject of another article.

In his article " Religion's Claim to be Non-Disprovable " ("The claim of religion to be conclusive), Eliezer S. Yudkowsky , a researcher at the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence, affronta il tema della verificabilità o meno della religione.

Quello che ha catturato la mia attenzione è stata la sua presentazione del più antico esperimento scientifico «moderno»: un esperimento per verificare se una religione sia vera, preso direttamente dall'Antico Testamento!

L'esperimento di Elia

Sacrificio di Elia, dalla sinagoga di Dura Europos

L'episodio in questione è quello di Elia e dei sacerdoti di Baal ( Primo libro dei Re , 18:17-40) . Il profeta Elia si reca dal re Ahab and all the people of Israel and accused them of having abandoned the worship of Yahweh in favor of that of Baal (18:17-21). As the people

hesitates, Elijah decides to prove to Israel that Yahweh is the true God and that Baal is a false one.

Elia on one side and four hundred and fifty priests of Baal on the other two altars and erect on two bulls slaughtered there, but without lighting a fire for a burnt offering, will be the true God to light the fire of the altar dedicated to him:

22 Elijah said to them, "I alone am left, as a prophet of God, as the prophets of Baal are four hundred. Give us 23 due giovenchi; essi se ne scelgano uno, lo squartino e lo pongano sulla legna senza appiccarvi il fuoco. Io preparerò l'altro giovenco e lo porrò sulla legna senza appiccarvi il fuoco. 24 &nbsp;Voi invocherete il nome del vostro dio e io invocherò quello del Signore. La divinità che risponderà concedendo il fuoco è Dio!». Tutto il popolo rispose: «La proposta è buona!».

Yudkowsky fa notare che si tratta di un esperimento vero e proprio per vedere quale sia il vero Dio. Il sacrificio a Baal è l'equivalente del «gruppo di controllo» degli esperimenti moderni: anche lì c'è la legna da ardere, anche lì un giovenco similar to that of Elijah, there is also the priests who invoke God and ask him to consume the sacrifice, the difference is that Baal is a false god!

And indeed, despite their efforts, the priests of Baal are not able to access the fire (and are teased by Elias):

25 Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, "Choose the bull and you begin because there are so many. Invoke the name of your god, but no fire. " 26 they took the bull given them and prepared called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, "Baal, answer us." But there was no voice, nor a response. And they danced around the altar they had. Since we already 27 noon Elijah mocked them, saying: "Shout louder, for he is a god! Perhaps it is lost in thought, or busy, or traveling in case you were asleep, he wakes up. " 28 So they shouted louder and slashed themselves, as was their custom with swords and spears until blood flowed. 29 Midday passed, and those still possessed and acted as the time had come where you are accustomed to offer sacrifices, but he felt no voice and no response or a paid attention.

Now it's up to Elijah, but he decided to make it even more difficult for his business: after building his altar, he had slaughtered the bull and put it on the woodpile to three times asking the people to fill the jars with water and overthrow of the sacrifice (18:30-35).

Yudkowsky points out that the act of throwing water on the wood, which makes the ignition of the fire more difficult than in the case of the altar of Baal, is a sort of acceptance of the burden of proof on the part of Elijah he will demonstrate that the power of sacrifice to Yahweh is not a case.

And, predictably, comes the observation of the phenomenon that confirms the success of the 'experiment' di Elia:

36 &nbsp;Al momento dell'offerta si avvicinò il profeta Elia e disse: «Signore, Dio di Abramo, di Isacco e di Giacobbe, oggi si sappia che tu sei Dio in Israele e che io sono tuo servo e che ho fatto tutte queste cose per tuo comando. 37 &nbsp;Rispondimi, Signore, rispondimi e questo popolo sappia che tu sei il Signore Dio e che converti il loro cuore!». 38 &nbsp;Cadde il fuoco del Signore e consumò l'olocausto, la legna, le pietre e la cenere, prosciugando l'acqua del canaletto.

Ma i paralleli tra questo episodio ed un esperimento scientifico moderno non sono finiti. Abbiamo anche i peer reviewrs che confermano la riuscita experiment:

39 people saw it, they all fell prostrate and cried, "The Lord is God! The Lord is God. "

and the definitive elimination of the hypothesis disproved, with the killing of all four hundred and fifty priests of Baal

40 Elijah said to them, "Seize the prophets of Baal, not one of them escape." Seized them. Elijah brought them down the river Kishon, where they slaughtered. On the latter point

Yudkowky comments:

It is a harsh but necessary gesture. We must firmly reject the hypothesis falsified, and do it quickly, before the kinds of excuses to protect themselves. If the priests Baal had been allowed to survive, would begin to sputter that religion is a separate teaching, which can not be proved or disproved.

Because I think this episode is important? Because I think it is an indication of how religion is essentially designed to be impervious to scrutiny of the facts and thus remain "true" despite his claims to be continually discussed. I will speak in the next article, "How religion has increasingly subtracted from the verification of the facts .

302-3 ^ Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A) - January 23, 2010

From the Gospel according to Matthew (Mt 4, 12-23)
When Jesus heard that John was arrested, he withdrew into Galilee, he left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, so it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:
"Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea
beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles
!
The people who lived in darkness have seen a great light
,
for those who lived in the region and shadow of death light has arisen
.
From that time Jesus began to preach, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
As he walked along the Sea of \u200b\u200bGalilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said unto them: Come after me, I will make you fishers of men. " And they immediately left their nets and followed him. Going further, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat, along with their father Zebedee, repairing their nets, and he called them. And they immediately left the boat and their father and followed him.
Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

Comment

The Evangelist Matthew, recovering an image of the book of Isaiah tells us that Jesus is for us the light. In our life, we often see darkness, strengths, difficulties and unresolved tasks that pile up in front of us like a huge mountain, problems with children or friends, solitude, work is not appreciated ...
is between all these painful experiences that reaches us the good word, do you see only darkness, look also at the light with which God illuminates your life. He sent Jesus to share with you your penis. You can count on him which is on your side, light in the darkness.
We do not we give our life its ultimate meaning. It's him. It is not our job, neither our knowledge nor our success. It is he, and the light that it distributes. Because the value of our life is not based on what we do, nor on the consideration that we acquire or influence. It takes all its value because God sees us, turns to us, without conditions, whatever the merit of our own. Its light penetrates into our darkness, even where we feel radically called into question, it penetrates our error. Just when we feel we can trust the limits of our life when we weighed and its meaning seems to elude us. The people in darkness have seen a huge bright light, a light appeared to those who were in the dark kingdom of death!

RESPONSORIAL PSALM (Ps 26)
Chorus: The Lord is my light and my salvation.

The Lord is my light and my salvation:
di chi avrò timore?
Il Signore è difesa della mia vita:
di chi avrò paura?

Una cosa ho chiesto al Signore,

SECONDA LETTURA (1Cor 1,10-13.17)
Siate tutti unanimi nel parlare, perché non vi siano divisioni tra voi.

Dalla prima lettera di san Paolo apostolo ai Corìnzi

Vi esorto, fratelli, per il nome del Signore nostro Gesù Cristo, a essere tutti unanimi nel parlare, perché non vi siano divisioni tra voi, ma siate in perfetta unione di pensiero e di sentire.
Infatti a vostro riguardo, fratelli, mi è stato segnalato dai familiari di Cloe che tra voi vi sono discordie. Mi riferisco al fatto che ciascuno di voi dice: «Io sono di Paolo», «Io invece sono di Apollo», «Io invece di Cefa», «E io di Cristo».
È forse diviso il Cristo? Paolo è stato forse crocifisso per voi? O siete stati battezzati nel nome di Paolo?
Cristo infatti non mi ha mandato a battezzare, ma ad annunciare il Vangelo, non con sapienza di parola, perché non venga resa vana la croce of Christ.

John Paul II is not yet a saint, but are already ready relics

Pope John Paul II, born Karol Wojtyla , proceed rapidly towards the canonization: it will be beatified next May 1. Although the canonization process has been accelerated Wojtyla is not yet a saint, but the relics are ready already ...

In particular, Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz , friend and secretary of the late Pope and now archbishop of Krakow, he had prepared a vial of blood Wojtyla, so it is ready for display immediately after the beatification .

The blood was taken a few days before the death of Wojtyla, in order to perform analysis of the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, and then come into the hands of Dziwisz.

The vial will be embedded in the altar of a church in Krakow, in a glass case, as reported by Piotr Sionko, spokesman for the "John Paul II Center." Sionko said:

This is a proposal of the Cardinal, is of the opinion that it is the most precious relic of Pope John Paul II and that it should be the focal point of the church.

The church hosting the relic will be the center for the worship of memory and thought of Wojtyla and includes a museum, an institution with an adjoining library, a chapel and oratory and a conference center.

The idea of \u200b\u200bobtaining the relics of John Paul II, kept in Poland, is not new: already not long after his death, Polish officials had proposed removing the heart from the corpse buried in Rome and to bring it to Krakow and then it was not going to port to the Vatican's opposition.

exposure of the blood of Wojtyla, and the creation of a center of pilgrimage dedicated to the Polish Pope in his homeland, has not met with unanimous approval. Krzysztof Madel, a Polish Jesuit who opposed the exhibition of the relic, has argued:

The tradition comes from the relics of the medieval practice of teaching the Bible through images and symbols, but in the modern rational world the message should lead rather through the teaching of someone's life.

I believe that we can not but agree with Madel, although the flourishing turnover around saints like Padre Pio ( with attached golden tomb ) does not bode good.

"The Irish bishops asked the Vatican not to report to police abuses of the priests'

copy of the letter. Source: AP

Irish RTE television has made public a letter from 1997 sent by the Vatican to Catholic bishops in Ireland to warn them not to report all suspected child abuse to the police. The letter shows that the Vatican wants all allegations of child molestation were investigated and possibly punished by the Church itself, and that there was involvement of the civil authorities, it is a serious blow to the Vatican's position, according to which The Church never ordered the bishops to hide evidence or suspicions to the police.

The letter is part of Vatican policy on handling abuse in Ireland. Two reports d'indagine pubblicati nel 2009, e riguardanti in particolare l'arcidiocesi di Dublino e gli istituti per bambini, hanno dimostrato come in Irlanda per decenni, a partire dagli anni '30, la Chiesa abbia coperto casi di presunti abusi su decine di migliaia di bambini. Un terzo rapporto, riguardante la diocesi di Cloyne, sarà pubblicato nei prossimi mesi.

Quel che è certo, è che i prelati irlandesi presero a riportare alla polizia i casi di molestie su minori da parte dei sacerdoti cattolici solo a partire dalla metà degli anni '90; in particolare fu nel 1996 che la conferenza episcopale irlandese pubblicò un documento con la quale rendeva nota la sua intenzione di denunciare alle autorità giudiziarie cases where the bishops were aware.

The newly discovered letter was sent in 1997, then a year after the Irish revolutionary document, Luciano Storero Archbishop, Apostolic Nuncio to Ireland. In it, Storero announced that the Congregation for the Clergy ruled that the Irish policy of automatically reporting allegations of abuse "raises serious reservations under both moral and canonical," and as such was not recognized by the Vatican, recalled Storero in the letter that canon law, under which allegations of abuse should be handled internally by the Church, "must be followed meticulously." Storero added that if a bishop had complained of a priest suspected of child abuse to the police, the Congregation of the Clergy could have broken its rules regarding the priest suspected.

addition to that of 1996, the Church of Ireland has published two other documents relating to the reporting of cases of child abuse to civil authorities, none of these three documents has never been approved by the Vatican, and, according to some witnesses, seems increasingly likely that some Irish bishops have continued to follow the provisions contained in the 1997 Vatican letter again in 2008.

Nevertheless in his pastoral letter of 2010, Joseph Ratzinger he leaned to the Irish bishops blame the management of cases of abuse, saying that the Irish bishops would follow canon law.

Because the defense of the Vatican in dozens of lawsuits against priests in the United States molesters was based precisely on the denial of any intervention Vatican in favor of silting of the evidence, this letter could have a dramatic effect in trials for abuse.

Update: the letter was published by the New York Times .

A fatwa against violence anti-Christian in Iraq

Alcuni dei maggiori esponenti musulmani e cristiani iracheni si sono riuniti a Copenhagen per trovare una soluzione comune alle violenze contro le comunità cristiane del Paese. Alla tre giorni organizzata dalla Fondazione Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East (FRRME) was attended by representatives of the Sunnis, Shiites, Kurds, and Christians of saadristi.

After the meeting, the Muslims have given a fatwa against the violence against Christians. "The fatwa condemns all atrocities against Christians and stresses that these murderous acts are totally contrary to the Koran," said one of the participants.

Participants have produced thirteen recommendations, including calling on governments to "criminalize all incitement to sectarian violence and religious and propagation of culture of hatred" and urged the Iraqi government to bring the matter the agenda of the next meeting of the Arab League, to be held in March in Baghdad.

As you can see, the best way to address the conflicts between rival religions in the world is to work together to condemn violence from whatever side it comes. Retaliation and termination would not serve to improve the world in which we live.

John testified saying, "I contemplated the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and remain upon him.

Comment

The God who comes to meet us in the Bible does not reign, indifferent to human suffering in a distant blessed. It 's a God who, by contrast, takes to heart all this suffering. He knows it (Exodus 3:7). The news of God who became man in Jesus leaves no stone: God is in heart of our life will be touched by our human suffering, we are arises with our questions, it permeates our despair: "My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34). John the Baptist says of Jesus: "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." Here is this God who is to be wounded by the wickedness of man who lets himself be moved by the suffering of this land.
He wanted to get as close as possible to us, is in the bosom of our life with its pains and its contradictions, its flaws and its depths.
This is where our Christian faith is distinguished from any other religion. Jesus on the cross - God in the half of human suffering: this news is for us an incredible comfort. It's close to my sorrow, he understands me, knows how I feel. This news means a life uncomfortable at the same time: for those who engaged in our world, sinking, sinking into anonymity, who are tortured, being killed, dying of hunger or perish ... They are all your brothers and your sisters!

I do not know him, but just the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me: "He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descend and remain is he who baptizes in the Spirit Holy. " And I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God. " Word of the Lord

Comment

Il Dio che viene ad incontrarci nella Bibbia non regna, indifferente alla sofferenza umana, in una lontananza beata. E' un Dio che, al contrario, si prende a cuore tutta questa sofferenza. Lui la conosce (Es 3,7). La notizia di Dio che si fa uomo in Gesù non ci lascia di sasso: Dio viene nel cuore della nostra vita, si lascia toccare dalla nostra sofferenza umana, si pone con noi le nostre domande, si compenetra della nostra disperazione: “Mio Dio, perché mi hai abbandonato?” (Mc 15,34). Giovanni Battista dice di Gesù: “Ecco l’Agnello di Dio, che toglie il peccato del mondo”. Ecco questo Dio che si lascia ferire dalla cattiveria dell’uomo, che si lascia moved by the suffering of this land.

He wanted to get as close as possible to us, is in the bosom of our life with its pains and its contradictions, its flaws and its depths.
This is where our Christian faith is distinguished from any other religion. Jesus on the cross - God in the midst of human suffering: this news is for us an incredible comfort. It's close to my sorrow, he understands me, knows how I feel. This news means a life uncomfortable at the same time: for those who engaged in our world, sinking, sinking into anonymity, who are tortured, being killed, dying of hunger or perish ... They are all your brothers and your sisters !

Compassion, anger and indifference: Jesus healing the leper and modern exegetes

I noticed that today's Gospel is an excerpt from Vangelo secondo Marco , precisamente l'episodio del lebbroso guarito da Gesù presente nel primo capitolo. Siccome si tratta di un problema di critica testuale ben noto e interessante e che stavo proprio pensando di scriverci un post, mi è sembrato che si trattasse di un segno inequivocabile!

Il brano è il seguente:

40 Allora venne a lui un lebbroso: lo supplicava in ginocchio e gli diceva: «Se vuoi, puoi guarirmi!».
41 Mosso a compassione, stese la mano, lo toccò e gli disse: «Lo voglio, guarisci!».
42 Subito la lebbra scomparve ed egli guarì.
43 E, ammonendolo severamente, lo rimandò e gli disse: 44 «Guarda di non dir niente a nessuno, but it should be ', to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a testimony against them. "
45 But he went out and began to proclaim and spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was outside in desert places, and came to him from every side. ( Gospel of Mark, 1.40-45, edition CEI)

Coincidentally I was flipping through the other day in the library TOB Bible in Italian, including the Bible in Italian is the only (to my memory) that make you notice a very interesting variation of verse 1.41. The translation

CEI, in fact, utilizza un testo greco in cui al versetto 41 sta scritto che Gesù stese la mano σπλαγχνισθεὶς, splagchnistheìs , «mosso da pietà o compassione». Il lebbroso supplica in ginocchio Gesù, dicendogli «Se vuoi, puoi guarirmi!» e Gesù lo guarisce perché è mosso a compassione dalla sua richiesta.

Vi sono però alcuni manoscritti antichi, tra cui il famoso Codex Bezae , confermati dalla testimonianza di un antico commentatore come Efrem il Siro , secondo la quale Gesù stese la mano ὀργισθεὶς, orgistheìs , it is not just a change, as if this was the correct reading, Jesus would heal the leper as "angry, furious'!

All Italian translations assume that the original text was "moved with compassion," but the majority (although not unanimous) view of textual critics that the original was rather "angry."

It is difficult to understand why an ancient scribe had to change splagchnistheis in orgistheis (in technical terms we say that orgistheis is the hardest lesson) mentre è facile capire il motivo per il quale un Gesù arrabbiato gli possa essere sembrato più incongruente di un Gesù mosso a compassione.

A favore di questa conclusione è anche la constatazione che nei passi paralleli di Matteo (8.3: «E Gesù stese la mano e lo toccò dicendo: "Lo voglio, sii sanato". E subito la sua lebbra scomparve.»)e Luca (5.13: «Gesù stese la mano e lo toccò dicendo: "Lo voglio, sii risanato!". E subito la lebbra scomparve da lui.») che riprendono il brano di Marco , le parole sono molto simili ma non viene detto se Gesù fosse stato arrabbiato o mosso da compassione: questo fatto è interpretato as a result of the presence of orgistheis in the original text of Mark that the authors of Matthew and Luke were considered inappropriate and therefore omitted.

little note on the exegesis of this passage. Jesus healing the leper splagchnistheis , "moved with compassion," needs no comment: it is normal for a person who applies to his knees to be healed from a devastating illness, both physically as well as social, are the compassion of another human being. A

Jesus, however, is angry after the leper's request is more difficult to understand, and in fact have been made diverse spiegazioni: che fosse arrabbiato per la contravvenzione delle norme sociali da parte del lebbroso, che gli aveva rivolto la parola; o per l'influenza demoniaca; o per la distorsione del creato; o per la richiesta di un miracolo; o per le convenzioni del Tempio; e così via.

Quello che mi ha colpito è l'indifferenza di alcuni esegeti nei confronti della difficoltà a comprendere quale sia la versione giusta di questo versetto. Mi riferisco al fatto che nella TOB italiana viene spiegato come la lezione che Gesù fosse mosso a compassione sia da preferire a quella per la quale Gesù fosse arrabbiato, ma che comunque , anche se la lezione giusta fosse quest'ultima, Gesù sarebbe stato arrabbiato per le conventions of the time.

short, to the Italian commentators TOB, what Jesus really said or thought seems marginal, since already have their image to be projected upon him, a Jesus "orthodox" (in the etymological sense of the word) to which the real have to adapt.
