Ateismo e scienza sono pericolosi.
by Adolf Guevara Thursday April 01, 2004 at 02:13 PM mail: fottikristo@porkamadonna.it 

Lo dice il papa agli studenti universitari. Meglio le superstizioni religiose (specialmente quella cattolica) vissute integralisticamente.

Papa ai giovani: ''Costruite la Chiesa nelle Universita'''
Il Pontefice: ''Il cristianesimo non e' una semplice preferenza religiosa soggettiva, relegata all'ambito del privato''

Citta' del Vaticano, 31 mar. (Adnkronos) -
E' ''importante riscoprire il legame fra la Chiesa e l'universita''', oggi che ''si e' molto indebolito l'influsso delle ideologie e delle utopie fomentate da quell'ateismo messianico che tanto ha inciso in passato'' nelle universita'. Giovanni Paolo II, nel messaggio ai partecipanti all'VIII Forum internazionale dei giovani in corso a Rocca di Papa sul tema ''I giovani e l'universita': testimoniare Cristo nell'ambiente universitario'', ha chiesto agli studenti di essere ''costruttori della Chiesa'' negli atenei.
Il Papa ha ricordato quanto sia un periodo che prepara a ''scelte decisive'' sul futuro: ''Per questo -ha detto- e' necessario che voi affrontiate il percorso universitario in atteggiamento di ricerca delle giuste risposte'' alle domande essenziali sul significato della vita. Lontani gli anni delle contestazioni studentesche, oggi ci sono pero' ''nuove correnti di pensiero che riducono la ragione all'orizzonte della sola scienza sperimentale e quindi delle conoscenze tecniche e strumentali, per rinchiuderla talora in una visione scettica e nichilista. Oltre che inutili, questi tentativi di sfuggire alla questione del senso profondo dell'esistenza possono diventare anche pericolosi'' ha detto loro.
Gli universitari credenti hanno il compito di ''dimostrare la ragionevolezza'' delle convinzioni di fede nelle universita'. Infatti ''puo' succedere anche tra coloro che si professano cristiani che alcuni nelle Universita' si comportino di fatto come se Dio non esistesse. Il cristianesimo non e' una semplice preferenza religiosa soggettiva, ultimamente irrazionale, relegata all'ambito del privato''.
Il Papa ha auspicato per gli studenti che ''il tempo universitario sia dunque un tempo di grande maturazione spirituale e intellettuale, che vi porti ad approfondire il vostro rapporto personale con Cristo''. Ma ha anche lanciato un avvertimento. ''Se la vostra fede -li ha messi in guardia- e' legata semplicemente a frammenti di tradizione, di buoni sentimenti o di generica ideologia religiosa, non sarete certo in grado di reggere l'impatto ambientale''.
''Cercate dunque -ha raccomandato- di restare saldi nella vostra identita' cristiana e radicati nella comunione ecclesiale. Nutritevi per questo di assidua preghiera. Scegliete, quando e' possibile, buoni maestri universitari. Non rimanete isolati in ambienti che sono spesso difficili, ma partecipate attivamente alla vita delle associazioni, dei movimenti e delle comunita' ecclesiali che operano nell'ambito universitario''.
''Bisogna essere costruttori della Chiesa nell'Universita' -ha detto- di una comunita' visibile che crede, che prega, che rende ragione della speranza e che accoglie nella carita' ogni traccia di bene, di verita' e di bellezza della vita universitaria. Tutto questo non solo dentro il campus universitario, ma dovunque vivono e si ritrovano gli studenti. Sono certo che i Pastori non mancheranno di riservare una speciale cura per gli ambienti universitari e destineranno a questa missione santi e competenti sacerdoti''.

FUORI LA CHIESA DALLA SCIENZA
by white rabbit Thursday April 01, 2004 at 02:43 PM mail:  

LA SCIENZA E' SCIENZA, NON RELIGIONE

L'OSSERVAZIONE NON E' POSSIBILE SE SI NASCONDE LA MENTE DIETRO IL PREGIUDIZIO MORALE.

DITE A QUESTI ASSASSINI E PROPAGANDISTI CHE MIRANO L'IMPOVERIMENTO DELL'UMANA CREATIVITA' E ALLA NEGAZIONE DELLA LIBERTA' SPIRITUALE CHE HANNO GIA' AVUTO IL LORO GENOCIDIO E CHE IL LORO EFFETTO SI VEDE ANCORA OGGI.

STANNO DISTRUGGENDO IL PIANETA CON OGM, URANIO IMPOVERITO, INQUINAMENTO E UN SISTEMA ECONOMICO IMPERIALISTICO.

BASTA!!!!!

http://www.malleusmaleficarum.org/



The Malleus Maleficarum (The Witch Hammer), first published in 1486, is arguably one of the most infamous books ever written, due primarily to its position and regard during the Middle Ages. It served as a guidebook for Inquisitors during the Inquisition, and was designed to aid them in the identification, prosecution, and dispatching of Witches. It set forth, as well, many of the modern misconceptions and fears concerning witches and the influence of witchcraft. The questions, definitions, and accusations it set forth in regard to witches, which were reinforced by its use during the Inquisition, came to be widely regarded as irrefutable truth. Those beliefs are held even today by a majority of Christians in regard to practitioners of the modern “revived” religion of Witchcraft, or Wicca. And while the  Malleus itself is largely unknown in modern times, its effects have proved long lasting.

At the time of the writing of The Malleus Maleficarum, there were many voices within the Christian community (scholars and theologians) who doubted the existence of witches and largely regarded such belief as mere superstition. The authors of the Malleus addressed those voices in no uncertain terms, stating: “Whether the Belief that there are such Beings as Witches is so Essential a Part of the Catholic Faith that Obstinacy to maintain the Opposite Opinion manifestly savours of Heresy.” The immediate, and lasting, popularity of the Malleus essentially silenced those voices. It made very real the threat of one being branded a heretic, simply by virtue of one's questioning of the existence of witches and, thus, the validity of the Inquisition. It set into the general Christian consciousness, for all time, a belief in the existence of witches as a real and valid threat to the Christian world. It is a belief which is held to this day.

It must be noted that during the Inquisition, few, if any, real, verifiable, witches were ever discovered or tried. Often the very accusation was enough to see one branded a witch, tried by the Inquisitors' Court, and burned alive at the stake. Estimates of the death toll during the Inquisition worldwide range from 600,000 to as high as 9,000,000 (over its 250 year long course); either is a chilling number when one realizes that nearly all of the accused were women, and consisted primarily of outcasts and other suspicious persons. Old women. Midwives. Jews. Poets. Gypsies. Anyone who did not fit within the contemporary view of pieous Christians were suspect, and easily branded "Witch". Usually to devastating effect.

It must also be noted that the crime of Witchcraft was not the only crime of which one could be accused during the Inquisition. By questioning any part of Catholic belief, one could be branded a heretic. Scientists were branded heretics by virtue of repudiating certain tenets of Christian belief (most notably Galileo, whose theories on the nature of planets and gravitational fields was initially branded heretical). Writers who challenged the Church were arrested for heresy (sometimes formerly accepted writers whose works had become unpopular). Anyone who questioned the validity of any part of Catholic belief did so at their own risk. The Malleus Maleficarum played an important role in bringing such Canonical law into being, as often the charge of heresy carried along with it suspicions of witchcraft.

It must be remembered that the Malleus is a work of its time. Science had only just begun to make any real advances. At that time nearly any unexplainable illness or malady would often be attributed to magic, and thus the activity of witches. It was a way for ordinary people to make sense of the world around them. The Malleus drew upon those beliefs, and, by its very existence, reinforced them and brought them into the codified belief system of the Catholic Church. In many ways, it could be said that it helped to validate the Inquisition itself.

While the Malleus itself cannot be blamed for the Inquisition or the horrors inflicted upon mankind by the Inquisitors, it certainly played an important role. Thus has it been said that The Malleus Maleficarum is one of the most blood-soaked works in human history, in that its very existence reinforced and validated Catholic beliefs which led to the prosecution, torture, and murder, of tens of thousands of innocent people.

The lasting effect of the Malleus upon the world can only be measured in the lives of the hundreds of thousands of men, women, and even children, who suffered, and died, at the hands of the Inquisitors during the Inquisition. At the height of its popularity, The Malleus Maleficarum was surpassed in public notoriety only by The Bible. Its effects were even felt in the New World, where the last gasp of the Inquisition was felt in the English settlements in America (most notably in Salem, Massachusetts during the Salem Witch Trials).

It is beyond the scope of this article to adequately examine the role of the Malleus in world history, or its lasting effects. At the very least, The Malleus Maleficarum (The Witch Hammer) offers to us an intriguing glimpse into the Medieval mind, and perhaps gives us a taste of what it might have been like to have lived in those times.
