Dear friends and enemies of Stilum Curiae, Gian Pietro Caliari shares with us this sad - and somewhat indignant - reflection on the Via Crucis that will take place in St. Peter's Square on Good Friday.
(...)
When reading the texts of the Way of the Cross that the highest authority of the Catholic Church will preside worldwide on this Good Friday, one is stunned and wonders who and what could have inspired such delirium.
They will say it was written by children! Exactly!
But then what catechism have these lovely children been taught? What kind of gospel have they been read and taught? What educators of the faith and of the Catholic faith have prepared, trained and accompanied you to write a text as important as it is relevant, given that it will have Urbi et Orbi resonance?
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church we can directly learn some essential contents of the Mystery of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
(...)
There is no trace (of the Catechism) in the politically correct Stations of the Cross of this Good Friday of the year of grace 2021.
On the contrary, some of the juxtapositions – in the introductory sentence (of this Via Crucis supposedly written by children), to limit ourselves to this one – to the Cross of Christ leave one dismayed:
“Dear Jesus, You know that children also have crosses, that they are neither lighter nor heavier than those of adults, but they are true crosses ... Only You know how difficult it is to not be able to contain ourselves and get up every morning wet "(sic!).
“Only you know how hard it is for me to learn not to be afraid of the dark and all alone,” to wake up every morning having wet the bed, to speak as well as others, to get math problems right, to hear parents argue, to be made fun of, and to realize how many children are hungry, forced into armed conflict or exploited, says the meditations’ introduction.

Of course, no one could pretend to introduce children – assuming that all this is the fruit of themselves! –The Passion by Mel Gibson or having them read the complete text of the Expositio Passionis Domini of St. Thomas More as a necessary and indispensable introduction to meditate on the Passion of Christ, but even passing from nocturnal diuresis to Calvary does not seem an adequate catechetical model.
(...)
When His Church –that only Church of Christ– disappears, and someone plays to create His Church - that much declaimed "church of Francis" - everything becomes a game of and for children, like this year's Stations of the Cross, in a year already so troubled."
Prophecies of Anne Catherine Emmerich (The false church) is full of pride and of presumption, and with it destroys and leads to evil with all kinds of good appearances. Its danger is in its apparent innocence.(AA.II.89)

1 Corinthians 1:18 Christ the Power and Wisdom of God For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
