Synodality turned into a tool to expel hard working priests in Turin
In Turin, the dogma, with Cardinal Repole, of "harmony": exile for those who do not fall into line
The persecution from the "synodal church" and of true Bergoglians like Cardinal Repole.
With the appointment of the parish priest of the parish of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati in the person of the true Boarinian, Don Mauro Gaino, the sad story of the expulsion of the Fathers of the Incarnate Word comes to an end and it should be noted that, in order to disperse them, the two parishes that have been working together for years at a time when everything is done to unite, are instead divided. In this exemplary story, steeped in ideology and unreasonableness, the entire establishment of the Curia of Turin is losing authority and credibility. To the resentment of the progressive wing of Pellegrini and Fiandiniana - different but equal - is now added that of the lay people engaged in a serious path of sanctification, according to all the themes (not just those of choice) of the Catholic Church and its universal Catechism.
The story, silenced by the newspapers and the Catholic communists, now has a national echo and even in Rome, where the wind is rapidly changing and there is an air of "liberation", not a few are interested, considering that the reasons for the "non-renewal" of the agreement between the Diocese of Turin and the Institute of the Incarnate Word, are completely laughable. There is talk of a so-called "lack of harmony" with the diocesan pastoral care. Now, it is worth remembering, for decades the Seminary has also been living this dystopian situation, whereby many vocations have been turned away (or burned) because they are "not in tune with the diocese", with the fateful schizophrenic phrase: "You have a vocation, but not for Turin", as if Turin had its own scheme into which everyone must necessarily enter! With all due respect to freedom of conscience, psychological violence and abuse of power. Even some recent departures from the island are finally proof of this.
They are the poisoned fruits of Boarinism, a tendency, today in command of the diocese, which having neither cultural foundation nor human charm, has played everything on the psycho-affective setting, often disoriented and semi-blackmailing. In this context, those who work following the doctrine of the Church and bearing abundant fruits of conversion and sanctification, disturb and frighten, because they can infect, as they have always done, those around them who spread the bonus odor Christi (2 Cor 2:15) and because they silently call into question an entire psycho-pastoral approach: that of the "humble" Church of happy degrowth, tending to disappear. With only one priestly ordination in 2025, for over 2 million faithful, giving up the help of the Fathers seems even more unreasonable.
Evidently, space must be given to those lay people trained in that Institute directed by the one who, after a few years as assistant priest, left the pastoral service saying in public: "The parish has fed me up!". Because the situation of the diocese of Turin is, for those who do not know, dramatic, governed by those who have never seriously taken up pastoral work, have never gotten their hands dirty in the social field, except with vague progressive proclamations, and is completely sterile vocationally. So the real question is not whether the Fathers are "in tune" with the diocese, but whether the diocese is in tune with the whole Church, and not just formally. Being Catholic in fact means being universal and not closing oneself in one's own narrow perspectives and in one's own warm and self-referential nest, even if lined in red or purple.
NB There are however problems with the female side of the Institute. There seem to be problems on all sides here.
