Fondamenti logici della filosofia, filosofia della scienza, rapporti con la teologia
Un recente articolo di Luisella Scrosati sulla Bussola Quotidiana (1) discute sull’uso delle cellule fetali nello sviluppo di vaccini (2). La questione e legata alla possibilita’ dello sviluppo di vaccini senza utilizzare cellule di feti abortiti (3).

PHILOSOPHICAL AND RATIONAL BASIS
It seems remarkable to notice that the phIlosophical basis of atheism, i.e., the denial of the existence of God, is actually well-known.In his famous book “Introduction to Christianity” (Communio Books, Ignatius Press, San Francisco, first edition 1968, revision 2004) in fact Joseph (at the time Cardinal) Ratzinger points out:
1) first, that there are in principle two ways to (reach) the faith in God, namely the belief that God exists. One is reason (namely rational thinking), and the second is heart (namely the intuitive way of reasoning);
2) second, that – once the way of the reasoning is followed – a conflict may arise between reason and heart. It must be remarked, however, that the conclusion 2) follows because Ratzinger adopts the point of view of the Enlightenment philosophy. This arises because according to the Enlightenment philosophy (1,2)
– all logical sentences are either true or false. This is the Aristotile two-way Principle of Non-Contradiction (2-way PNC);
– any enlightened person, namely according to Immanuel Kant (see his “Critique to Pure Reason”) a wise and learned person, will be able to state whether the same sentences are true or false.
THE CONFLICT BETWEEN REASON AND FAITH
For an enlightened person, in fact, the conflict between reason and heart unavoidably also gives rise to a conflict between reason and faith (in God) itself.
Indeed , based on the same 2-way PNC, a so-called enlightened person should be also able to establish the truth or the falsity of the sentence “God exists”, with God to be intended here as the eternal, omniscient and almighty God of Abraham, Joseph and Moses, i.e., the God of Israel and Christianity alike.
However, given the lack of a scientific proof, which should be possible and repeatable by any observer, and the fact that neither the Bible nor the Gospel represent by themself a physical proof of the existence of God, the same enlightened person is unavoidably led to the conclusion that the same sentence is false. The paradox is, however, that also the opposite sentence ” God does not exist” cannot be properly tested (we lack any physical means or experimental measurement apparatus for such a purpose). This points obviously to the possible inconsistency of the 2-way PNC (see below).
THE ACME OF THE ATHEISTIC CRISIS
According to Joseph Ratzinger, after the Enlightenment, in the history of Church even saints have suffered crises of atheism, namely periods in which they had serious difficulties in believing in God. An example he mentions is the famous Saint Therese of Lisieux. Again, according to Joseph Ratzinger, the atheistic crisis can only be overcome believing that reason, somehow, is wrong and believing in God only with our heart.
REFUTATION OF ATHEISM IN THE GOEDEL RATIONALISM
The rational (i.e., logical) refutation of Atheism is surprisingly straightforward and follows from the proof of falsity of the Enlightenment philosophy which can be achieved in the context of the Goedel Rationalism. The latter is based on the new formulation of the Principle of Non-Contradiction (3-way PNC), which follows from the famous Goedel Theorem. According to this principle any logical sentence can be either:- true- false- or undecidable.Indeed, given the fact that the basis of atheism is provided by the Enlightenment, it follows that the refutation of the latter (see again (2)) provides at the same time the refutation of the former. The same conclusion applies in principle to any form of Atheism, including the so-called Theology of Modernism.The constructive proof of falsity of the philosophy of Atheism is provided by the 3-way PNC, i.e., the new Principle of Non-Contradiction based on Goedel Theorem. In such a context, in fact, the sentence “God exists” is just undecidable as its negation namely “God does not exist”. The reason is that it is impossible by any (ideal) experiment to ascertain whether God exists or does not exist, namely he is (or he is not) actually eternal, omniscient and almighty.So there is no contradiction between reason and faith in God!

INTRO: ARE WE OVERTIME?
One might think that we are overtime in addressing the topic, especially in view of the potential implications at stake. As a Christian, which I consider myself, I feel it as a deep duty of conscience to answer fundamental questions about the current status of the Church.
To answer, however, we must first address two preliminary and related issues, namely:
a) the validity of the resignation of Pope Benedictus XVI together with his appointement al “Pope emeritus”;
b) the validity of the subsequent election of JM Bergoglio as pope Francis.
THE RESIGNATION OF POPE BENEDICTUS XVI
The morning of February 11, 2013 when PPBXVI pronounced officially his resignation in front of the whole Cardinal Collegium, the news resounded like a clear-sky lightning. In the evening of same day also the sky seemed to acknowledge the event. An incredibly powerful lightning, accompanied by a huge roar, hit the top the Saint Peter Cupola located just above the tomb of the Prince of the Apostles. In the morning the decane of Cardinal Collegium, Angelo Sodano had said: “Just as the stars in the sky so the star of his pontificate will for ever shine too”.
HIS APPOINTMENT AS “POPE EMERITUS”
The epoch-making resignation of PPBXVI introduced in the Church also the new institution of “Pope emeritus”. As such, besides the white dress and the right to continue to stay in the Vatican seat, the Pope emeritus retains also the so-called “munus petrinum”, namely of guide, sign or ministry of the Church (1).
Hence, from the election of his successor Francis on 13 marzo 2013 there are not two popes, but – “de facto” an enlarged ministery with an active and a contemplative member respectively.
THE APPOINTMENT OF JM BERGOGLIO AS POPE FRANCIS
Both religion experts and teologicians, as well as common faithful Christians, have agreed on the fact that beginning from March 13,2013 a new situation has occurred, unheard during the bi-millenial history of the Church, which lasts until today: the co-existence in the Vatican of two popes (2) .
CURRENT STATUS AND THE PROPHECIES
How to explain the unprecedented current status of the Chuch in the light of the prophecies and the teachings of the Church? The solution is given by the Christian Cathechism and by the Virgin Mary. The Madonna helself has informed us, through several officially approved miracoulous apparitions or locutions (Fatima, Beate Anna Catharine Emmerich, Maria Valtorta and Maria Natalia Magdolna, etc.), about the “two Popes” heading two churches. More precisely:
A) The first one, headed by the the first Pope, a very old person, is the one faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ which receives all the blessings of God and the Madonna;
B) The second one, headed by the “bishop in white robes”, is a strange sinful “new” church bizzarre, extravagant and gone completely heretic, in which the actual presence is lost of the body of Jesus Christ during the Mass. This is the heretic church ruled by the Antichrist.

Evangelium Luc 12:32-34
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Nolíte timére, pusíllus grex, quia complácuit Patri vestro dare vobis regnum. Véndite quæ possidétis, et date eleemósynam. Fácite vobis sácculos, qui non veteráscunt, thesáurum non deficiéntem in cœlis: quo fur non apprópiat, neque tínea corrúmpit. Ubi enim thesáurus vester est, ibi et cor vestrum erit.
Gospel Luke 12:32-34
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, Do not be afraid, little flock, for it has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom. Sell what you have and give alms. Make for yourselves purses that do not grow old, a treasure unfailing in heaven, where neither thief draws near nor moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.

Una tecnica utilizzata per per bloccarci le comunicazioni su FB/youtube o simili social network e’ la seguente. Da remoto gli intrusori fanno partire qualche programma sul vostro PC/tablet/smartphone che apparentemente (ma solo apparentemente) realizza un update del Vs. sistema operativo. Questa attivita’ del vostro PC/tablet/smarphone lo rallenta a tal punto da bloccare di fatto ogni comunicazione. In questo modo puo’ venire del tutto impedita :
Sia chiaro non si tratta semplicemente di un’azione di disturbo attuata da parte di utenti FB malevoli (tipo “gestapo” per intenderci), ma un’azione sofisticata di hackeraggio.
PRIMO MEDOTO
Per sbloccare il vostro PC/tablet/smarphone occorre individuare l’app che lo sta bloccando. Basta richiamare il programma di “gestione attivita” ed esaminare quali programmi stanno occupando molta memoria, provvedendo a terminarli uno alla volta, se necessario. Normalmente e’ sufficiente terminare quello che richiede piu’ memoria.
SECONDO METODO
In vaso non riusciate proprio a sbloccare i programmi di editing su FB (questo significa che e’ probabilmente FB stessa a bloccarvi, eventualmente tramite apposita intercettazione) Vi consiglio di utilizzare un Vs. blog personale esterno. Dove potete creare/editare e modificare direttamente i vostri documenti/files testo/ files grafici/ecc.
Se questi documenti sono gia’ agganciati a vs. documenti FB il gioco (o il “giuoco”) e’ bello che fatto!
Messa votiva in onore dello Spirito Santo. La scelta del rito e’ dovuta ai tempi di prova molto difficile che attraversiamo. Dobbiamo apprestarci alle nostre giornate per fortificarci ed essere pronti a ricevere lo Spirito Santo, la grazia di Dio, per invocare l’aiuto della BVM, dell’angelo custode.
Per poter superare ogni tentazione ed ogni prova.
La messa al mattino alle 8 ci prepara alla giornata proprio a questo scopo.
Prepariamo anche lo sfondo dell’altare per decorare la nuova cappella. L’ispirazione viene dallo Spirito Santo!
Sia lodato Gesù Cristo!

Votive Mass in honor of the Holy Spirit.
The choice of the rite is due to the very difficult times we are going through. We must prepare for our days to fortify ourselves and be ready to receive the Holy Spirit, the grace of God, to invoke the help of the BVM, the guardian angel.
To be able to overcome every temptation and every test.
Mass at 8 in the morning prepares us for the day precisely for this purpose.
We also prepare the background of the altar to decorate the new chapel. Inspiration comes from the Holy Spirit!
Praised be Jesus Christ!

Evangelium GV 14:23-31
23Gli rispose Gesù: «Se uno mi ama, osserverà la mia parola e il Padre mio lo amerà e noi verremo a lui e prenderemo dimora presso di lui. 24Chi non mi ama, non osserva le mie parole; e la parola che voi ascoltate non è mia, ma del Padre che mi ha mandato.
25Vi ho detto queste cose mentre sono ancora presso di voi. 26Ma il Paràclito, lo Spirito Santo che il Padre manderà nel mio nome, lui vi insegnerà ogni cosa e vi ricorderà tutto ciò che io vi ho detto.
27Vi lascio la pace, vi do la mia pace. Non come la dà il mondo, io la do a voi. Non sia turbato il vostro cuore e non abbia timore. 28Avete udito che vi ho detto: «Vado e tornerò da voi». Se mi amaste, vi rallegrereste che io vado al Padre, perché il Padre è più grande di me. 29Ve l’ho detto ora, prima che avvenga, perché, quando avverrà, voi crediate
Gospel Jn 14: 23-31
23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him and us we will come to him and make our home with him. 24Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; and the the word you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me. 25 I have told you these things while I am still with you. 26But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you. 27 Peace I leave you, my peace I give you. Not as the world gives it, I give it to you. Do not be troubled in your heart and do not be afraid. 28You heard that I said to you, “I am going and will come back to you.” If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than me. 29 I have told you now, before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe.

E’ il giorno della Nativita’ di Maria! E’ il giorno di festa, il sorgere dell’aurora della redenzione! Cosi aveva profetizzato il profeta Isaia.
Abbiamo udito la genealogia di Gesu’. In tempi biblici si realizza il piano della Provvidenza divina. La luce di Dio comincia a sorgere con la piccola Maria. Resta nascosta perche’ deve prepararsi alla sua missione. Prima della sua nascita c’erano le tenebre. V’erano le profezie della venuta del Messia.
Ora viviamo un tempo simile a quello prima della nascita di Maria! La nostra cultura, la nostra civilta’ ha conosciuto Gesu’, ma a causa della nostra cecita’ l’abbiamo dimenticato.
Dobbiamo quindi ringraziare e festeggiare Maria perche’ e’ il segno della rinascita, il fiore delle virtu’, il ritorno dell’aurora, in preparazione del ritorno di Gesu’.
Sia lodato Gesù Cristo!

It is the day of the Nativity of Mary! It is the day of celebration, the dawn of redemption! Thus the prophet Isaiah had prophesied. We have heard the genealogy of Jesus.
In biblical times the plan of divine Providence is realized. The light of God begins to arise with little Mary. It remains hidden because it must prepare for its mission. Before her birth there was darkness. There were the prophecies of the coming of the Messiah.
We are now living in a time similar to that before Mary’s birth! Our culture, our civilty has known Jesus, but because of our blindness we have forgotten it.
We must therefore thank and celebrate Mary because she is the sign of rebirth, the flower of virtues, the return of the dawn, in preparation for the return of Jesus.
Praised be Jesus Christ!
