Msgr. Esseff reflects on the life and teachings of St. Padre Pio. He shares personal stories from his relationship with St. Pio. Gospel LK 8:16-18 Jesus said to the crowd: “No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not become visible, and nothing secret that will not be known and come to light. Take care, then, how you hear. To anyone who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he seems to have will be taken away.” The post St. Padre Pio and the Healing of the Church – Building a Kingdom of Love with Msgr.

Vandaag staan we stil bij het leven van de heilige pater Pio!
Ref.: Esther von Krosigk, Biographin von Mary Pyle, geistlicher Tochter von Padre Pio, Rott am Inn P. Pio ist einer der bekanntesten und spektakulärsten Heiligen überhaupt. Der stigmatisierte und mit allerlei Gaben ausgestattete Kapuzinerpater war Beichtvater und Seelenführer für zahllose Menschen seiner Zeit - aber unter ihnen war Mary Pyle eine Ausnahmegestalt: Die gebildete Amerikanerin aus gutem Hause ließ nach ihrer Begegnung mit dem berühmten italienischen Priester alles stehen und liegen, um sich in seinen Dienst zu stellen. Fortan lebte sie in strenger Einfachheit und Armut neben dem Kloster, diente den Pilgern und den Armen. In der Lebenshilfe nehmen wir am Gedenktag von P. Pio mit der Journalistin und Biographin Esther von Krosigk die große geistliche Tochter des Kapuziners in den Blick: Was können wir von ihr über einen christlichen Umgang mit Geld und irdischen Gütern lernen? Adelia Mary Pyle war viele Jahre P. Pios Assistentin und geistliche Vertraute. Da sie mehrere Sprachen beherrschte, übernahm sie die Erledigung der Korrespondenz des berühmten Kapuziners. Mary Pyle nahm auch zahlreiche Gäste in ihrem „rosa Schloss in San Giovanni Rotondo auf, darunter Pater Pios Eltern bis zu deren Tod. Pater Pio selbst starb im September 1968 einige Monate nach Mary Pyle , wie er es vorausgesagt hatte. Esther von Krosigk arbeitete nach ihrem Studium der Japanologie als Redakteurin bei großen deutschen Verlagen. Heute ist sie Buchautorin, Journalistin (u. a. für „Die Tagespost") und Texterin für Unternehmen und Agenturen.

A version of this essay has been published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/hindu-americans-political-vulnerability-violence-h1b-bias-13936122.htmlChandra Mouli Nagamalliah, a 50-year old motel manager in Dallas, Texas, was brutally hacked to death and beheaded by a Cuban criminal illegal alien, in front of his wife and son. The murderer kicked Chandra's head around in the parking lot, before picking it up and dropping it in a garbage bin. All this because of an argument about a washing machine.This extraordinary incident got no airplay in the US, partly because it coincided with the murder of a conservative broadcaster, Charlie Kirk. There have been other acts of extreme brutality in the US: Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was stabbed to death by a psychotic killer in a train. In December, Debrina Kawam was burned alive in a New York subway.Violence is not unusual, but it hits home when a ‘model minority' Hindu is killed in such a dramatic manner. There was also the unexplained death of Suchir Balaji, a whistleblower who used to work for OpenAI, who may have been silenced. 633 Indian students have died abroad in 5 years, including 172 in Canada and 108 in the US, according to India Today.I worry about what all this means for the 2-3 million Hindu-Americans. I specifically speak of Hindu-Americans for good reason. Non-Hindus from India have other networks: Muslims and Christians join existing mosque and church groups; some Sikhs project Khalistani memes, falsely alleging religious discrimination in India, seek asylum, and shun Indian connections. Zohran Mamdani, a PIO, has strong Islamist support in his run for NYC Mayor.Second, anti-Hindu noise in the US has gone up substantially, especially the allegation that Hindus practise caste-based discrimination. There was the California Bill SB 403, sponsored by Afghan-American State Senator Aisha Wahab, which the Governor vetoed. Now there is a new Bill SB 509 that also targets Hindus, and which has also passed the California Senate and Assembly. It was co-authored by State Assembly Member Jasmeet Bains.Then there are the lawsuits. There was the infamous suit against Cisco Systems alleging caste bias by two Hindu ‘upper-caste' managers against a ‘lower-caste' employee. After years of acrimonious hearings, the Federal Court penalized the California Civil Rights Department for faulty prosecution; CRD withdrew the case against the two managers; the case against Cisco continues in arbitration. But this has led to copy-cat suits and a malign narrative against Hindus.Another major lawsuit was against the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Temple in Robbinsville, NJ, the largest Hindu temple in the Western Hemisphere, again with accusations of caste-based discrimination. After years of wrangling, and accusations that an immigration lawyer had coerced some complainants, the DOJ and the US Attorney's Office for New Jersey closed the criminal case on September 19th, finding no violations of federal law or worker exploitation. The civil case continues; the narrative against Hindus has been strengthenedThere are leftists with Hindu names aplenty who are actively campaigning against Hindus and supporting people like the academic Audrey Truschke, a known anti-Hindu activist. This is true even among some people in India: for instance, Annapurna Roy won Best Director at the Venice Film Festival, and dedicated her win to women and “the children of Gaza”, never mind the Hindu women, children and men being severely oppressed in Bangladesh right next door.There has been a massive spike in the anti-Hindu narrative online in the recent past; paradoxically because of their ‘model-minority' nature: they work hard, obey the law, pay taxes, and get ahead in life. Hindu-Americans likely have the highest per-capita income of any ethno-religious group in the US (Indian-Americans at large do). This leads to envy, especially as the economy struggles and you need scapegoats.That is reflected in attacks on the H1-B visa program, of which Indians are the biggest beneficiaries. There is the sudden imposition of a $100,000 “tax” on H1-B visas by President Trump. The net result of this is going to be an exodus to India and third countries, an echo of Idi Amin expelling Indians from Uganda.On the one hand, a good bit of America's competency in technology is supported by Indian engineers on H1-B visas (of course, there are Indian doctors and nurses and so on also on H1-B). On the other hand, US engineers don't have much bargaining power (compared to, say, US doctors), so they have been complaining about foreign-born engineers for decades.In addition to being part of the Trump Administration's pressure tactics on trade, the H1-B noise harks back to early 20th century anti-Hindu and anti-Indian prejudice, when racism and religious bigotry combined to oppress immigrants. A century later, same wine, different bottle. I wrote in January about the compelling cases of Bhagat Singh Thind and Vaishno Das Bagai. They were, like Chandra Nagamalliah, real human beings, not just some statistics. The murdered Charlie Kirk himself had explicitly called for reducing visas for “people from India”.But there is a bigger, more general problem: Hindus generally seek wealth, not political power, ie the old Guns vs. Butter debate. The problem is that if you don't have guns, the folks with the guns will take your butter. Hindus focused historically on wealth creation, and then were left flabbergasted when wave after wave of invaders came over the Khyber Pass or across the oceans, and just took the wealth.It is the same in the US now: Hindus seek material advancement, not political power. Even the Hindu elected representatives said very little about Chandra's tragic death. Vivek Ramaswamy, who had earlier emphasized his Hindu roots, was silent until prodded by online critics. Other prominent politicians were also quiet.But other immigrant groups have made substantial progress in capturing political power. As an example, the entire city council in Hamtramck, Michigan, is Muslim. In the UK, Pakistani-origin people are in positions of power. In Dearborn, Michigan, the Muslim mayor, on September 9th, told a Christian priest that he was an Islamophobe and effectively urged him to leave the city.Without political power, Hindus will be vulnerable. There will be sorry exoduses from various countries, and India should become the “nation of last resort” for PIOs. India should treat this as a version of the ‘1000 Talents' program that China used to attract its diaspora, and create ways to utilize their skills to support economic growth. That needs a lot of planning and can be a win for the country, however traumatic it is for individuals.Here is the AI-generated Malayalam version of this podcast, from notebookLM.google.com:1000 words, 20 Sept 2025, updated 23 Sept 2025 This is a public episode.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8285DON LEONARDO MARIA POMPEI, L'OBBEDIENZA CHE MANCA E L'ESEMPIO DEI SANTI di Daniele Trabucco La sospensione a divinis comminata a don Leonardo Maria Pompei non è riconducibile a un singolo atto materiale di disobbedienza, ossia la violazione del precetto penale del 2 settembre 2025, ma trova il suo fondamento canonico, teologico e filosofico in una pluralità di fattori convergenti. Il provvedimento, infatti, non può essere letto solo come reazione a un atto di insubordinazione circoscritto: è la conseguenza di una scelta più radicale, ossia la dichiarata non sottomissione alla gerarchia ecclesiastica e il rifiuto di celebrare secondo il rito promulgato dall'autorità della Chiesa, che equivale a un atto di rottura della comunione gerarchica e liturgica.Sul piano teologico, è bene ricordarlo, l'obbedienza gerarchica non è un mero vincolo disciplinare, dal momento che si radica nella costituzione divina della Chiesa, la quale, secondo Lumen gentium (n. 20-21 e, prima ancora, secondo la Mystici Corporis Christi del 1943 di Pio XII), è governata dai Vescovi in comunione con il Romano Pontefice e richiede dai presbiteri una sincera subordinazione e cooperazione. Rifiutare tale comunione significa porre in discussione l'unità visibile della Chiesa, che si manifesta appunto nella sottomissione al Magistero e alla disciplina ecclesiastica. La sospensione, pertanto, si presenta come misura volta a tutelare non solo l'ordine giuridico interno, quanto, soprattutto, la comunione ecclesiale.L'obiezione secondo cui non si dovrebbe obbedire alla gerarchia quando questa «deraglia» non regge né sul piano canonico, né su quello teologico e filosofico. È vero che l'obbedienza non è cieca, ma ordinata alla Verità; tuttavia, la Chiesa cattolica insegna che l'assistenza dello Spirito Santo preserva indefettibilmente il Magistero da errori nei dogmi e questo resta un fatto innegabile: nessun dogma di fede è stato mai messo in discussione, neppure oggi.La crisi attuale tocca orientamenti pastorali, documenti (si veda, a titolo esemplificativo, Fiducia supplicans) e indicazioni catechetiche, ma non ha scalfito il deposito della fede. In questi ambiti, che appartengono al magistero autentico ordinario e non al magistero solenne, il fedele e il sacerdote devono prestare l'«ossequio religioso dell'intelletto e della volontà» (Pio XII, Humani generis del 1950), cioè rispetto e adesione interiore proporzionata al grado dell'insegnamento, ma senza rinunciare ad interrogativi critici. Il can. 212, paragrafi 1-3, del vigente Codex iuris canonici del 1983, che riconosce ai fedeli il diritto di manifestare le proprie perplessità, impone che ciò avvenga sempre con rispetto e riverenza, mai con atteggiamenti di rottura.La posizione, pertanto, secondo cui si può obbedire solo quando si ritiene che l'autorità «stia nella verità» conduce inevitabilmente alla dissoluzione dell'unità ecclesiale e a un criterio soggettivo che trasforma la Chiesa in una somma di opinioni private (lo stesso mondo della tradizione, pur nella sua ricchezza, è attraversato da particolarismi e personalismi, quasi una sorta di affannosa rincorsa a chi è più «tradizionalista» degli altri ed ha il seguito maggiore).SUBORDINARE L'AUTORITÀ ALL'ARBITRIO INDIVIDUALEFilosoficamente, questo equivale a subordinare l'autorità all'arbitrio individuale, negando il principio che l'autorità è mediazione dell'ordine oggettivo voluto da Cristo. Teologicamente, significherebbe ridurre la promessa di Cristo sulla indefettibilità della sua Chiesa a una formula vuota. Eppure, è proprio Cristo che, come scrive l'apostolo Paolo, «factus oboediens usque ad mortem» (Fil 2,8). Canonisticamente, infine, rifiutare l'obbedienza al legittimo Ordinario per le ragioni sopra indicate rischia, sebbene il decreto di sospensione a divinis di Mons. Crociata non lo affermi formalmente, di perfezionare il grave delitto di scisma di cui al canone 751 sul quale, eventualmente, interverranno le autorità ecclesiastiche davanti alle quali don Pompei ha il diritto-dovere di difendersi.Detto in altri termini, l'obbedienza, pur sofferta e a volte «martiriale», non è un atto di debolezza, bensì di fede nel Cristo che non abbandona la sua Chiesa. Senza questo sguardo soprannaturale, l'istituzione ecclesiale apparirebbe solo come un corpo umano, fragile e fallibile; ma con esso, si coglie che dietro e dentro le vicende della storia, spesso contraddittorie e sofferte, rimane sempre presente il Signore che ha promesso: «Ecco, io sono con voi tutti i giorni, fino alla fine del mondo» (Mt 28,20).Neppure il ricorso al cosiddetto «criterio dell'eccezione» regge come fondamento per giustificare la posizione di don Pompei. L'idea di fondo, presa in prestito da categorie giuridico-politiche moderne, sarebbe che, in situazioni straordinarie di crisi, la coscienza del singolo o del gruppo possa sospendere l'obbedienza dovuta all'autorità legittima per salvaguardare la verità. Tuttavia, questo criterio, che può avere una sua funzione nello Stato, non è applicabile all'ordine ecclesiale. Dal punto di vista canonico, infatti, lo ius publicum ecclesiasticum non contempla uno «stato d'eccezione» che autorizzi a negare la sottomissione alla gerarchia.La Chiesa non si fonda sul consenso dei fedeli, né su dinamiche emergenziali, quanto sulla promessa indefettibile di Cristo, che ne garantisce la continuità. Pretendere di sospendere l'obbedienza in nome di un presunto «stato d'eccezione» (e chi lo proclamerebbe?) significa misconoscere che il Signore non abbandona la sua Chiesa e che il deposito della fede non è stato, né può essere intaccato, anche quando vi sono documenti pastorali controversi. Filosoficamente, inoltre, il criterio dell'eccezione implica un primato del soggettivo sull'oggettivo, della volontà individuale sul principio ordinante dell'autorità. Applicarlo alla Chiesa significherebbe dissolverne la natura soprannaturale e ridurla a società umana che si regge sull'eccezione e non sulla grazia. La Chiesa, però, non è un ordinamento umano che si salva «nonostante» la regola: è sacramento universale di salvezza, che permane nella sua verità proprio attraverso la fedeltà al principio gerarchico, anche nei tempi di confusione e smarrimento.SAN GIOVANNI BOSCO E SAN PIO DA PIETRELCINAGli esempi di san Giovanni Bosco (1815-1888) e di san Pio da Pietrelcina (1887-1968) mostrano con chiarezza come l'obbedienza, anche quando imposta in circostanze dolorose o umanamente incomprensibili, non sia mai vana, ma diventi via di santità e di fecondità ecclesiale. Don Bosco visse nel cuore del XIX secolo, un'epoca tutt'altro che compatta dal punto di vista ecclesiale: al tempo di Pio IX, pontefice dal 1846 al 1878, la Chiesa era attraversata da gravi tensioni interne ed esterne, dal conflitto con lo Stato unitario italiano alla questione romana, dalle controversie sul ruolo del Sillabo e del Concilio Vaticano I (mai concluso) alle divisioni tra intransigenti e conciliatoristi.Lo stesso nuovo slancio delle opere educative e caritative suscitava diffidenze e sospetti: al santo torinese vennero imposti controlli e limitazioni, gli si chiese di non intraprendere iniziative senza l'esplicita approvazione dei superiori e dovette affrontare accuse di imprudenza e di eccessiva autonomia. Egli avrebbe potuto interpretare tali misure come ingiuste o come un soffocamento del carisma ricevuto, eppure scelse l'obbedienza, confidando che la Provvidenza avrebbe comunque fatto fiorire l'opera. Il risultato fu che proprio attraverso quell'umiltà, i Salesiani divennero una delle realtà più vaste e feconde della Chiesa.Padre Pio da Pietrelcina, a sua volta, sperimentò un'epoca segnata da tensioni non meno profonde. Nel primo Novecento e nel pontificato di Pio XI e Pio XII la Chiesa fu attraversata da conflitti interni legati al modernismo, alla nuova teologia, alle reazioni disciplinari spesso dure, alle divisioni tra clero progressista e clero intransigente. Egli stesso fu vittima di provvedimenti severissimi: interdizione dalle celebrazioni pubbliche, proibizione di confessare, isolamento dal popolo, controlli medici umilianti e accuse infamanti. Anche qui sarebbe stato facile denunciare la gerarchia come ingiusta o corrotta; eppure, Padre Pio non dichiarò mai di non riconoscere l'autorità dei suoi superiori, ma obbedì in silenzio, vivendo quel tempo come un martirio nascosto. La sua fedeltà, nonostante la durezza delle misure, fu la chiave stessa della sua santità e rese più limpida la sua testimonianza davanti alla Chiesa e al mondo.Nei due casi, dunque, non si può liquidare l'obbedienza dei santi con la debole obiezione che «allora c'era Pio IX» o che allora non c'era modernismo e la crisi attuale». In realtà, tanto nel XIX quanto nel XX secolo, la Chiesa era attraversata da tensioni dottrinali, disciplinari e pastorali di grande portata: le controversie sul primato papale, le diffidenze verso nuovi apostolati, le fratture sul modernismo, le contrapposizioni tra correnti teologiche.Nonostante questo, don Bosco e Padre Pio scelsero di non rompere la comunione, di non erigersi a giudici della Chiesa, ma di vivere l'obbedienza come partecipazione al mistero di Cristo obbediente. Ignorare il loro esempio significa svuotare la santità di un tratto decisivo e illudersi che la disobbedienza sia soluzione alle crisi. Essi mostrano che la vera forza non sta nel contrapporsi alla gerarchia, quanto nel rimanere fedeli nella prova, credendo che Cristo non abbandona la sua Chiesa e che, anche attraverso i limiti umani d
