On Thursday March 10, 2011, a large group of young (60 or 70, according to sources), broke it in a rush in the chapel of the University Complutense of Madrid, during the Mass at 13 hours. They came screaming and shouting insults and waving offensive photo montages with the Pope's image. They reached the sacred place, the altar, and defiled, stripping and getting to sing around sexual ideology slogans and phrases such as "arderéis as the 36" as well as insults to the Church and clergy. In addition, attacked the chaplain who tried to prevent the sacrilege. Thank God there was no victims. Today
talked a spokeswoman of the student association "counter", which organized the event. " Has expressed surprise that someone could feel offended by the sharing of the profane. "That shock is normal to them," said literally, but says it was a free expression of opinion. He says "I do not understand." And here's the key.
aentender How will the youth sector that has not only deprived of a minimally decent education, but also is constantly encouraging sobresatisfacción brutalizes all primal instinct above reason, which is dull by hedonism? The man, in nature, is distinguished from other animals by his ability to reason and think. If we have reached the point that someone does not understand that a physical assault and a desecration offends the attacked, is that the mental dullness is oceanic. If anyone considers himself entitled to do harm and over, to be applauded for the victim, is this, gentlemen, is over.
Actually, the things that we are seeing in English universities - the universities, which should be centers of intellect and thought ejerciación! - Converted into actual seats of barbarism and vandalism (you need only to look at the facilities) . The worst thing is that all this agreed and approved, if not ratified by the academic authorities. Sure, some creatures have neglect-perhaps not always guilty-rational capacity to continue borreguiles ideological slogans and pseudo philosophical simponen it from the government or from comunciación media, controlled by traders who profit by submissive to the irrationality, how can they explain what is the tolerance, if they can not understand that anyone does not think like them? How to explain what is to respect someone who does not understand that there can be no loud music in the subway, because it bothers, or why he has to give way to a senior or a pregnant woman? What filosfía, what values, they can transmit?
I get a little deeper, and serious, "how can you hope to convey the Gospel to with a people like that? If the natural ability is stunted, can aspire to arouse the spirit? God has revealed to men, not beasts. Only man, of all creatures on earth, can perceive God and even relate to him (1). But if a man voluntarily turns against what distinguishes him from animals, "the right, and makes cejación of rational function, if it can not even aprehnder the human and natural, what chance is there that can understand or assimilate el Evangelio? No es el caso de las personas con parálisis cerebral o síndorme de down. Estas siguen siendo criaturas plenamente racionales, que no pueden ejercer plenamente esa función por enfermedad. Y por supuesto, pueden captar a Dios, y de hecho, -soy testigo de ello-, pueden relacionarse con Él.
Me he preguntado recientemente, a raís de este y de otros hechos (el vandalismo en las instalaciones de las universidades públicas españolas, la actuación de grupos violentos que, en esta época, al contrario que de lo que sucedía hace 20 años, suelen ser de izquierdas), el sentido de esas palabras de Cristo: "no echéis las cosas santas a los cerdos". Y de un proverbio talmúdico: "If a generation rejects the Torah, keep it to the next." And I said maybe. it's time to retire to the desert, to pass the barbarism, like the great Seneca, who philosophize on the roof, near the stars, disgusted by the barbaric cries of the mob, enraged by the blood lust of the games.
But Christians can not forget that we have a mandate issued the same Jesus Christ: "Go and preach the Gospel to all nations" and that God always leaves a remainder. While trying to brutalize young people, and get with many, well studied have the corrupt social and ideologues that youth is the age of greed, which is more easy to be drag all that seems to promise intense emotions and the excess of which dulls the mind, there's a rest that will not drag. We also have the grace of God, serving wherever and whenever you want. We can not fail to proclaim the Good News, even if they are sown on stony ground. Who knows? The other day, a night vigil, I saw that people had access to church, perhaps, we thought it was unable, for the cultural, ideological ... to say anything about its significance. Who can say that Christ is not able to enter any heart? Greater miracles have occurred: in these times, will be beatified a executed murderer who died. If he received grace, we hope! And if the animals come and tear us life, our blood will cry. Glory to God!
(1) as a result of certain experiences, I am convinced that the animals sense, somehow, with God, they have a psychological and emotional signs that give a soul (= active life) "natural." But just as the man who has reason and a supernatural soul (spirit).
