When you read articles that they say there is a "request to Pope Benedict XVI to stop beatification John Paul II signed by theologians of Catholic universities and directors of religious heads of four countries "(cf." Wojtyla: lettera aperta conservatory. Non sia Blessed, Maciel was amico "ASCA 03/23/2011) you come to think that something happened in Catholic News Agency , ZENIT, Catholic.net , American Magazine, Our Sunday Visitor , EWTN or RomeReports (among many other Catholic media that could be cited and do much good.)
But the text does not refer names so they must resort to the usual journalistic search. Soon we reach the source original: a modest entry into the digital publication The Remnant On Line entitled "A Statement of Reservations Concerning the Impending Beatification of Pope John Paul II" ("A statement of reservations concerning the imminent beatification of Pope John Paul II ").
might think that is just one of the manifestos of progressive theologians ... This time is just the opposite.
is a statement signed by 33 people (the editor of the newspaper to the head but also journalists, teachers and a couple of professionals from other fields originating in the United States Argentina, Australia, Norway, Germany, UK, England and Czech Republic), put online on 21 March. In short, is a manifesto with which Benedict XVI calls on non beatification of John Paul II for three main reasons: 1) there was public pressure that sped the beatification, 2) John Paul II has a troubling legacy and 3) miracle is doubtful.
The start of the questioned statement of Pope Wojtyla's exemplary as there 'may', they say, to discipline the flock entrusted. The first point appeal to massive pressure from people who asked for recognition of John Paul II a saint, so this would conditioned the beatification "of what value is popular acclaim for his beatification in a time when most nominal Catholics rejects any teaching of faith and morals which they consider unacceptable, especially the infallible teaching of the Magisterium on marriage and childbearing ? "he asked the authors of the statement.
The second section identifies the Polish pope as the cause of the process of de-Christianization of the world, presenting it as the culprit. Here are accused of a) the decline of the liturgy, b) the implementation and promotion of Vatican II, c) be «friend» the founder of the Legionaries of Christ and of having concealed cases involving the abuse issue, d) of the confusion raised after the meeting for peace in Assisi (1986 and 2002), e) of episcopal appointments crazy, f) action in the case of the schismatic bishop Marcel Lefebvre and other occurrences.
On the third point questioned the action of God in the miraculous healing through the intercession of John Paul II, the French nun.
Substance and shape of this particular discussion paper for its failure, several things. The first thing that stands out is the use of quotations from Joseph Ratzinger-Benedict XVI taken out of context to give weight and substance to his invectives and insights.
there an explicit confrontation with the Second Vatican Council and a visible nod to traditionalism Lefebvre. The exaggerations appear at different times of the text (for example, "Most Christians do not believe the people in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist" or "the use of contraceptive methods is widespread among Catholics).
are not content with the scandal that is following the publication of the statement and go to the charge of specific individuals at different times (from Msgr. Piero Marini the current Cardinal-Archbishop Krakow). Proof? Quotes taken as reliable sources as The New York Times and Associated Press (just the two media in 2010, for the same dates, showed no mercy against Benedict XVI. We addressed this question in " abuse abuse ).
Colon filolefebvrismo very heart of interfaith encounters are for peace in Assisi and the apology of John Paul II for the sins of the Church in the past. Non-speaking lies, enough to read the two theological explanations that gave Joseph Ratzinger and the International Theological Commission (" The meeting in Assisi , 2002 "and" Memory and Reconciliation . The Church and the Faults of the Past respectively).
assessment that the signers of the declaration made on some gestures of Pope John Paul II is arbitrary: the interpretation is not taken within the context and gives space to the intent of the person who killed them. Judges constitute a pope.
Maciel on the case and had spoken in the past. One of the most authoritative is the prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints (the dicastery - "dependency" - responsible for detailed analysis of the lives of candidates to be recognized servants of God, blessed and finally declared saints), Cardinal Angelo Amato. His remarks are particularly important in that it does know the process followed by the cause of beatification in every detail.
Asked specifically about the case of Father Maciel, Cardinal Amato responded and in two parts: a daily Avvenire (cf. 15.01.2011, p.3), and one at the magazine Famiglia Cristiana (no. 4, 2011, p. 18).
Famiglia Cristiana, the Catholic magazine more widespread in Italy, made his question: "In the past months, said the cause was in danger of having a delay related to the scandal of pedophilia: Karol Wojtyla would have protected Father Maciel, founder of the Legionaries of Christ. Have you also investigated the relationship between John Paul and Father Maciel?. " This Cardinal Amato said: "We confirm that we have investigated thoroughly and widely. John Paul II was not aware of the split personality of Father Maciel. "
At another point, a journalist Avvenire questioned the Cardinal: "Among the possible difficulties of the exercise of heroic virtue, has been also the question of the father Marcial Maciel, the founder of the Legionaries of Christ? ". The prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints was blunt in his reply: "The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith reaffirmed that John Paul II was in no way involved in the issues concerning the dark side of the figure personality in question. "
The declaration, this analysis leaves little room for God's action and subtly questions the Pope's ordinary magisterium (a beatification comes within this field.) Doubt the miracle when it is not known the whole process and the same results, is nothing short of adventurous.
L'Osservatore Romano (cf. 16.01.2011, p. 8) asked in another interview with Cardinal Angelo Amato. The newspaper of the Holy See issues on which there were dissenting voices during the process of studying the cause of Karol Wojtyla. In this respect the cardinal Amato said: "By right, by practice, and also according to our regulations, the postulator must consider both texts as texts for against. From this point of view, the nomination has done a good job to dispel all the shadows. As I said in my inaugural address at the opening of the Studium, the work of the proponents is extremely serious and must be done scrupulously, because they carry out a particular form of collaboration with the Pope in his ordinary magisterium. "
said, well you can use a quote that the signatories are within their invective to contextualize and better locate his statement: "From some fissure the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God." Sheepskin also can submit the Devil.
