“Pastor Angelicus”: The Full Movie!

Mundabor's Blog

I do not remember having ever posted this. I think the only thing I had found up to now was a 10-minutes excerpt.

But now we have the full movie, 75 minutes of intense Catholic beauty.

Besides being so useful to better know this great man, the documentary also gives interesting insights into the inner workings of the Vatican, and the daily life of a Pope when Popes did not choose to live under the roof of their perverted protégées.

The film is in Italian, and with no subtitles. Those among my readers who are Spanish speakers should be able to cope rather well; the others will have to know Italian, or enjoy the images… 😉

The presence of the man is sheer unbelievable. It is as if he filled the screen, but not with himself. Look at him on 40:15 to 40:20 and tell me whether those five seconds…

Satu-satunya Bahtera Keselamatan

Lux Veritatis 7

Icon “The Ladder of Divine Ascent”

“Kasihi manusia, bunuhlah kekeliruan; tanpa kesombongan, beranilah dalam kebenaran, tanpa kekejaman bertarunglah demi kebenaran.” – St. Augustinus

Bacaan pertama menegaskan eksistensi dua jalan: jalan yang menuju kehidupan dan kemakmuran, serta jalan yang menuju pada bencana dan kematian. Bagi mereka yang tidak ingin dimusnahkan, mereka harus menaati perintah Allah atas dasar kasih kepada-Nya dan mengikuti jalan-Nya (Ul 30:15-20).

Perjanjian Baru juga menegaskan hal yang sama. Pada Injil Matius, Yesus menjelaskan kepada pada murid bahwa terdapat dua jalan: jalan yang luas dan lebar yang mengarah pada kebinasaan, dan banyak orang yang masuk ke dalamnya, serta jalan yang sulit dan pintu sempit yang mengarah kepada kehidupan, yang dilalui oleh sedikit orang (Mat 7:13-14).

Dewasa ini, ada beberapa pihak yang berusaha mengubah kebenaran tentang perkataan Yesus tersebut. Bukannya berpegang teguh pada kebenaran bahwa hanya terdapat satu jalan kepada keselamatan, yaitu Yesus Kristus yang adalah “Jalan, Kebenaran dan Hidup”…

“Gli Uomini Non Guardano Il Cielo”: The Only Film About St. Pius X

😀

Mundabor's Blog

I receive from reader “Papapiusdecimus” (whom I thank from the heart for the kind words) an extremely interesting link, published above. 

This appears to be the only film ever made about the great pope St. Pius X. Googling around, the year of production appears to be 1951. De Gasperi was Prime Minister, and Pius XII was Pope. A dream team by any standard of today, and probably of any day.

The names involved in the production of this movie make clear, even before seeing it , this is a quality production.

Unfortunately, this is youtube format, and no subtitles.

It appears the movie was also dubbed in English, title “The Secret Conclave”.

Those of you who have Netflix might be able to see it, says here. Please can someone of my readers with Netflix subscription let me know if this is available.

If any reader can indicate where they…

St. Pius X Or Warriors And Pansies Explained

We need a hero!

Pansy? Not! Pope St. Pius X

In an age where effeminacy prevails at all levels and a more than alarming level of “sensitivity” is the fashion of the time, it might seem unusual to read about someone calling for the enemy to be “beating with fists”, without “counting” or “measuring” the blows, and striking “as one can”.

Utterly, utterly inacceptable, says the teacher is Islington. What will her unavoidable “gay friends” think? Urgh, monstrous!

Well, you only need to click here to persuade yourself that these words were pronounced (fists, blows, and all) by one of the best Popes of all times.

What does this teach us? Very simply, that the Popes of the past – more importantly, the greatest Popes of the past – thought and spoke like men instead of limiting themselves to the whining of their during- and  post-V-II successors, who regularly are oh so “saddened” and…

Pope Pius X, Not “Off-The-Cuff”

He is the Man….

When Popes didn’t waffle: St. Pius X

The text below comes from a time when Popes were not ashamed to call themselves, and be called, the Pope.

Their authority came not only from their office, but from the way they exercised it. And they felt obliged to transmit intact the deposit of the Faith, and to use it to understand a changing world and face the challenges of turbulent times. They never demanded that the Catholic way of thinking adapt itself to the world. Rather, they demanded that the world adapt to it.

A beautiful example is “Our Apostolic Mandate”, the letter to the French bishops with which St. Pope Pius X moved decisively against the Sillon. 

The soundness of thinking and the clarity of language are very far away from the waffling of our times. There are no circiterisms. There are no appeals to emotions. This is not…

Preferential… What?!

Mundabor's Blog

No time for socialism: Pope Leo XIII

The appointment of a practicing Catholic clearly in favour of fiscal sanity for the position of Vice President should the US get a change from the… change will very probably cause a lot of discussions about the so-called “preferential option for the poor”. Let us, therefore, see a bit more in detail what this “preferential option” is, whether it can – once properly intended – teach us something new, whether it represents something in harmony with what the Church has always believed and, most importantly, whether lefties have any right to try to take Catholic social doctrine as hostage to push their own socialist agenda.

A rather clear (not easy to find: post -Vatican II documents are always such a senseless waffle…) definition of the “preferential option for the poor” is, in my eyes, this one:

As followers of Christ, we are…

Pius XII: Beatification Prayer Is Already Approved!

Truly a Saint! 😀

Mundabor's Blog

Browsing the net, I have found that this rather impressive news had already been published by the Corriere della Sera last November. The link is not accessible without logging in, therefore I will link to this for those of you blessed with a knowledge of the most useless, but most beautiful language on the planet.

The information is very clear and rather complete, and it is improbable that the Corriere della Sera would risk a blunder on such a matter. It would therefore appear that the prayer has been written by don Nicola Bux, an advisor of the CDF, and that it has already obtained the imprimatur from Cardinal Bagnasco, the head of the italian Bishop’s Conference.

It also transpires from the article ( I didn’t know it) that Rai Uno has broadcast a TV series about the life of Pius XII, obviously criticised by the professional holocaust-whinos among those…

UKDGI (Ujian Kompetensi Dokter Gigi)

Hari bersejarah

The Toothless Mind

UKGI (Ujian Kompetensi Dokter Gigi) merupakan salah satu ujian tahap akhir yang harus dilewati oleh para lulusan dokter gigi baru :D.  Ujian ini terdiri dari ujian CBT (Computer Based Test) dan OSCE (Ujian Praktik).  Ujian CBT terdiri dari 120 soal pilihan ganda dengan rata-rata tipe soal berbentuk kasus.  Bagi saya ujian CBT yah layaknya ujian biasa aja, karena tinggal baca soal, kemudian click jawabannya.. Beres!!!.  Lagipula ujian ini juga antara peserta, komputer dan Tuhan saja jadi ngak perlu malu kalau salah haha. Pada ujian OSCE biasanya peserta akan melalui beberapa pos dimana di dalam pos tersebut sudah ada kasus atau soal dengan berbagai jenis perintah misalnya Tuliskan, Verbalkan, Jelaskan atau Peragakan.  Setiap pos hanya diberikan waktu sekitar 8 menit untuk menyelesaikan soal yang ada.  Ujian OSCE ini terkadang merupakan ujian yang bikin deg-deg khan setengah mati, bikin takut, malu, dan juga pusing, akan tetapi paling berkesan :D.  Kebetulan saya mengikuti…
