"World Congress of Families" Ambassador Tells ZENIT Faithful Must Be Visible and in the Public Square to Defend Our Civilization

The day may come when U.S. citizens actually have to resist the nation's radically-changing forces, set to limit religious freedom - just one of the views shared with ZENIT by an ambassador of the World Congress of Families, Fr. Marcel Guarnizio.

An expert on the region and Russia having ministered there extensively, Fr. Guarnizio warns that hope disappears when populations don’t see a need to have families. He believes Russia now has a new vitality, needed to help Western Europe resist its “death culture”, and considers a free market economy to be the best way to bring people out of poverty.

Fr. Guarnizio, a native of Northern Virginia, was attending a Rome conference June 26-29 on the theme: “Poverty and Common Good: Putting the ‘Preferential Option for the Poor’ at the Service of the Poor.” The event was organized by the international think tank Dignitatis Humanae Institute (DHI) which aims to uphold human dignity based on the anthropological truth that man is created in the image and likeness of God. Conference speakers included senior Vatican officials, politicians, media and business leaders, in the Casina Pio IV of the Vatican gardens.

ZENIT: Could you explain the importance of having an event like this, centered on the theme of poverty?

Fr. Guarnizio: I think it is important for the Church to consider the theoretical and the practical ways in which society at large and the Church must deal with this problem of poverty. And I think in this congress, we’ve dealt with very theoretical problems of economics and how economics presents itself as a science that can help solve some of these problems.

ZENIT: Could you please describe yourself and why your background........

May?

I think it is probably a near certainty

Couldn’t I just live on my knees and beg for mercy?

[skeeter]

At least someone in the church is talking about it.

The christian church was a catalyst for change prior to the first revolution.

If the republic is to be restored to the way it was intended then it needs to be an integral part of the restoration.

Maybe you ought to actually read what he said. The guy is into free markets.

Or do you prefer socialists?

“A Call To Arms”
by Mike and the Mechanics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzHHj1cBDJk

Pass the word, it’s a call to arms
Midnight man at your door
Blackened faces run in the night
Daybreak under the floor

Bring my bow
Fill my head with flame, and we must
Let them know that the torch is lit again
Crystalize the pain behind your eyes
Are you ready to fight?

(You hear the drum and) run for your life
(Sweet Avalon the heat is on)
In other words, I hope and pray
That time and tide wash the hate away
A simple man with simple thoughts
Who turned to force as a last resort

All around us, chaos rings
Buildings crumbling down
Silhouettes in the fiery rain
Timbers crash to the ground

Bring my spear, invested with my youth
Bring the children near, they must now be told the truth
Old and young and those of foreign tongue
Are you ready to fight?

(You hear the drum and) run for your life
(Sweet Avalon the heat is on)
In other words, I hope and pray
That time and tide wash the hate away
A simple man with simple thoughts
Who turned to force as a last resort

In other words, I hope and pray
That time and tide keep the day away
When simple men with simple thoughts
Will turn to force as a last recourse

“Silent Running”
by Mike and the Mechanics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_zWl8xnT00

Take the children and yourself
And hide out in the cellar
By now the fighting will be close at hand
Don’t believe the church and state
And everything they tell you
Believe in me, I’m with the high command

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

There’s a gun and ammunition
Just inside the doorway
Use it only in emergency
Better you should pray to God
The Father and the Spirit
Will guide you and protect from up here

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Can you hear me running (can you hear me calling you?)
(Can you hear me) hear me calling you?
(Can you hear me running) hear me running babe?
(Can you hear me running) hear me running?
Calling you, calling you

The first rule of drunk posting is to absolutely not have read what you’re posting about.

(I might have him confused with another priest, but that doesn’t negate my right to condemn them all.)

[CharlesOConnell]

I routinely think of the murderous Spanish Civil War of 1936 when thousands of Catholic Bishops, Priests and Sisters were killed by Marxist Republicans, their stories were never told by by Hollywood. When Progressives threaten to murder you, don’t brush it off, take them at their word.

Onward Christian Soldiers!

[ottbmare]

This brave and holy man’s surname is Guarnizo, not Guarnizio. I’m shocked that Zenit got it wrong, since he is well known in Rome, even more so than here in his native Virginia.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

Start by ending support for illegal immigration, why dontcha?

[Arthur McGowan]

Fr. Guarnizo was suspended by Cardinal Wuerl for refusing to join Wuerl in committing the mortal sin of giving Communion to notorious, obstinate public sinners. Wuerl calls his mortal sin “a pastoral approach.”

Anybody seen Cardinal O’Malley, Archbishop Gomez, Archbishop Wenski, or any of the other open-borders-amnesty bishops snuggling with a scabies/TB/lice-infested Dreamer recently? They love snuggling with pro-abortion Catholic politicians.
