LUTERO Y CARLOS V ¿VUELVEN LAS GUERRAS DE RELIGIÓN?

 

Martín Lutero fascinante figura de la historia de la iglesia,el dogma y el anti-dogma era un cristóforo, un enamorado de Cristo hasta las cachas.

Es una pena que en su vehemencia o en su ceguera se ofuscara por la creencia de que la Iglesia católica estuviera edificada sobre la roca de Roma como nueva peña de Israel.

No sabía nada de algo importante: que nació en Bizancio caldo del cultivo del dogma y también de la herejía (pelagianos, arrianos, monofisitas, monotelitas, anabaptistas y demás), que de allí surgió el dogma trinitario del que no habla en sus escritos, transustanciación o el monaquismo junto con la devoción marial de la cual era muy apasionado cuando profesó como novicio agustino.

 Los árboles no le dejaron ver el bosque a fray Martín. Era un enamorado del Evangelio, un cristoforo, conocedor de la Escritura la "nuda scriptura" según le achacaron sus detractores. En menoscabo de la liturgia y la tradición. Desnudó los altares. Sólo admite dos sacramentos el bautismo y la eucaristía que él denominaba la Cena. Fran teólogo y eminente escritor, los germanistas afirman que su alemán es elegante y magnifico. Sólo la Fe salva.

Los elegidos (teología de la predestinación) nunca pecan y eso viene a ser una aberración, pero en esta exaltación del amor a Jesús provocó el gran cisma protestante y las guerras de religión que son las más crueles y sangrientas como puede que esté ocurriendo en Ucrania.

 Benjamin Netanyahu el líder israelí ya nos los advertía el año pasado. La humanidad vuelve a las contiendas de religión.

Sustituyamos los Derechos Humanos democráticos contera la confesionalidad patriótica y se entenderá nuestra afirmación. Lutero no marraba cuando describe a Roma como la gran puta y al papa León X como un corrupto preboste aficionado al lujo, a las mujeres y a las vanidades del mundo.

Sus 95 tesis clavadas a las puertas de la catedral de Wittemberg permanecen vigente a día de hoy sobre todo en lo que se refiere a la simonía, las indulgencias, las corruptelas del clero y la divinización del papa que desplaza a la persona de Cristo.

 El papado hay que hacerlo constar, es una institución alemana establecida por Carlomagno el día de Navidad de 711. sobre la fórmula de trono y altar. La espada y la cruz han de ir juntas.

Concibe el sacerdocio no como una sacramento, sino como una función administrativa en la cual los cinco sacramentos que restan a los apuntados (matrimonio, orden, confesión, confirmación y extremaunción) son meros signos. Exige la abolición del latín.

 Precisamente este año de 2022 se cumplen cinco siglos de la publicación de los Santos Evangelios en Alemán.

Sus prédicas incendiaron Europa. ¿Y no será también Bergoglio una segunda edición de León X y de los papas Borgia?

Los historiadores que han estudiado la personalidad del agustino son contestes en afirmar que Lutero se salvó de ir a la hoguera, como le ocurrió a Jon Huss en Constanza gracias al salvoconducto del emperador de Romanos Carlos quien otorgó un salvoconducto para que expusiera sus reivindicaciones reformistas. Carlos V de Alemania y I de España ya apuntaba maneras de inteligencia política y lo dejó hablar impidiendo que su guardia de esguízaros lo detuviera. Ello le salvó la vida.

El papa, dicen, cuando recibió la carta personal del fraile de Erkfurt que estaba de cacería y acababa de dar muerte a un jabalí, cuando le dieron a leer las famosas 95 tesis, por toda respuesta dijo: "Esto parece una disputa de frailes borrachos. Mañana cuando se les pase la resaca se les aclarará la vista". Sin embargo, los tumultos fueron a más. Las obras del agustino fueron quemados en toda la cristiandad y en España los anti erasmistas (Erasmo fue mucho más cauto): "Si te gusta Lutero o eres fraile o eres asno".

El emperador se dirigió a la Dieta de Worms en francés erigiéndose en paladín del catolicismo en defensa del papa. Reprobando al heresiarca sin acrimonia. Roma nunca se lo agradeció.

 Vendrían las noches de San Bartolomé, la batalla de Muhlwerg, San Quintín, y las guerras de Flandes que costaron a los tercios españoles tanto heroísmo y tanta sangre. 

Como gran político, el rey Carlos vio venir la debacle que se desencadenaría con las propuestas de aquel fraile de aires campesinos, cuya elocuencia exaltaba a las masas. El fanatismo reformista de exaltación de Cristo le hizo rodar hacia un feroz anti cristianismo. Corrió la sangre.

Todos los que se meten a redentores acaban crucificados. Lutero no; murió de viejo en Eislaban el 18 de enero de 1563. tenía 80 años.

Carlos V fallecía siete años antes a los 57 en el monasterio de Yuste iniciando el esplendor de una España contra todos que dominó el mundo. Aquel paleto prusiano que en su juventud, dominado por los terrores de la condenación eterna, una mente torturada, pero de cabeza bien amueblada, se metió a fraile.

Uno encuentra cierto paralelismo  entre el siglo XVI y el XXI fijándonos en ambas personalidades: un exaltado agustino que puso la historia del revés mediante sus escritos (se acababa de inventar la imprenta, era la Galaxia Gutemberg) "Contra Iudeos"", "Comentarios al Génesis" y "Contra el papa".

Ahora, con las redes sociales, un judío de corta estatura de ojos profundos como los de Hitler arenga a sus tropas por Instagram contra la Santa Rusia sumiendo a Europa en el mundo en la convulsión y la confrontación.

Los anhelos del uno de volver a los orígenes de un cristianismo radical no reformaron a la Iglesia, más bien lo contrario y las proclamas del otro, reivindicando a Churchill y a la democracia, nos pueden llevar a la tiranía.

Como español tengo sólo que gritar:

-Viva Carlos V

España durante dos siglos contuvo la pella para bien del mundo, la libertad y el progreso. ¿A     hora con Zelenski qué pasará? Claro que el emperador de Romanos español nada tiene que ver con este hombre chiquito con ínfulas napoleónicas, pero encuentro entre él y Lutero, cierto paralelismo

Lectio
Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios
1 Cor 4:1-5
Fratres: Sic nos exístimet homo ut minístros Christi, et dispensatóres mysteriórum Dei. Hic iam quǽritur inter dispensatóres, ut fidélis quis inveniátur. Mihi autem pro mínimo est, ut a vobis iúdicer aut ab humano die: sed neque meípsum iudico. Nihil enim mihi cónscius sum: sed non in hoc iustificátus sum: qui autem iúdicat me, Dóminus est. Itaque nolíte ante tempus iudicáre, quoadúsque véniat Dóminus: qui et illuminábit abscóndita tenebrárum, et manifestábit consília córdium: et tunc laus erit unicuique a Deo.
R. Deo grátias.

Lesson
Lesson from the first letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
1 Cor. 4:1-5
Brethren: Let a man so account us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Now here it is required in stewards that a man be found trustworthy. But with me it is a very small matter to be judged by you or by man’s tribunal. Nay I do not even judge my own self. For I have nothing on my conscience, yet I am not thereby justified; but he who judges me is the Lord. Therefore, pass no judgment before the time, until the Lord comes, Who will both bring to light the things hidden in darkness and make manifest the counsels of hearts; and then everyone will have his praise from God.
R. Thanks be to God.
Graduale
Ps 144:18; 144:21
Prope est Dóminus ómnibus invocántibus eum: ómnibus, qui ínvocant eum in veritáte.

11

V. May my mouth speak the praise of the Lord, and may all flesh bless His holy name.
Evangelium
Munda cor meum ac lábia mea, omnípotens Deus, qui lábia Isaíæ Prophétæ cálculo mundásti igníto: ita me tua grata miseratióne dignáre mundáre, ut sanctum Evangélium tuum digne váleam nuntiáre. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
Iube, Dómine, benedícere. Dóminus sit in corde meo et in lábiis meis: ut digne et competénter annúntiem Evangélium suum. Amen.
V. Dóminus vobíscum.

Luke 3:1-6
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was procurator of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of the district of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachary, in the desert. And he went into all the region about the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the desert, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord, make straight His paths. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth; and all mankind shall see the salvation of God.’

It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth! Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory! Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

We therefore, humbly pray and beseech Thee, most merciful Father, through Jesus Christ; Thy Son, our Lord, that Thou wouldst vouchsafe to accept and bless these  gifts, these  presents, these  holy unspotted Sacrifices, which in the first place we offer Thee for Thy holy Catholic Church to which vouchsafe to grant peace, as also to preserve, unite, and govern it throughout the world, together with Thy servant our Pope, and our Bishop, and all orthodox believers and professors of the Catholic and Apostolic Faith.
Meménto, Dómine, famulórum famularúmque tuarum N. et N. et ómnium circumstántium, quorum tibi fides cógnita est et nota devótio, pro quibus tibi offérimus: vel qui tibi ófferunt hoc sacrifícium laudis, pro se suísque ómnibus: pro redemptióne animárum suárum, pro spe salútis et incolumitátis suæ: tibíque reddunt vota sua ætérno Deo, vivo et vero.
Be mindful, O Lord, of Thy servants and handmaidens, N. et N. and of all here present, whose faith and devotion are known unto Thee, for whom we offer, or who offer up to Thee, this sacrifice of praise for themselves, their families and friends, for the redemption of their souls, for the health and salvation they hope for; and who now pay their vows to Thee, the everlasting, living and true God.
Communicántes, et memóriam venerántes, in primis gloriósæ semper Vírginis Maríæ, Genetrícis Dei et Dómini nostri Iesu Christi: sed et beáti Ioseph, eiúsdem Vírginis Sponsi,
et beatórum Apostolórum ac Mártyrum tuórum, Petri et Pauli, Andréæ, Iacóbi, Ioánnis, Thomæ, Iacóbi, Philíppi, Bartholomǽi, Matthǽi, Simónis et Thaddǽi: Lini, Cleti, Cleméntis, Xysti, Cornélii, Cypriáni, Lauréntii, Chrysógoni, Ioánnis et Pauli, Cosmæ et Damiáni: et ómnium Sanctórum tuórum; quorum méritis precibúsque concédas, ut in ómnibus protectiónis tuæ muniámur auxílio.

Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hanc ígitur oblatiónem servitútis nostræ, sed et cunctæ famíliæ tuæ,
quǽsumus, Dómine, ut placátus accípias: diésque nostros in tua pace dispónas, atque ab ætérna damnatióne nos éripi, et in electórum tuórum iúbeas grege numerári. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
25

We therefore beseech Thee, O Lord, graciously to accept this oblation of our service, as also of Thy whole family;
and to dispose our days in Thy peace, preserve us from eternal damnation, and rank us in the number of Thine Elect. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Quam oblatiónem tu, Deus, in ómnibus, quǽsumus, bene  díctam, adscríp  tam, ra  tam, rationábilem, acceptabilémque fácere dignéris: ut nobis Cor  pus, et San  guis fiat dilectíssimi Fílii tui, Dómini nostri Iesu Christi.
Which oblation do Thou, O God, vouchsafe in all respects, to bless,  approve,  ratify,  make worthy and acceptable; that it may be made for us the Body  and Blood  of Thy most beloved Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Qui prídie quam paterétur, accépit panem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas, elevátis óculis in cælum ad te Deum, Patrem suum omnipoténtem, tibi grátias agens, bene  díxit, fregit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: Accípite, et manducáte ex hoc omnes.
Who, the day before He suffered, took bread into His holy and venerable hands, and with His eyes lifted up towards heaven unto Thee, God, His almighty Father, giving thanks to Thee, He blessed  it, broke it and gave it to His disciples saying: Take and eat ye all of this,

HOC EST ENIM CORPUS MEUM.


28

FOR THIS IS MY BODY.



Símili modo postquam cenátum est, accípiens et hunc præclárum Cálicem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas: item tibi grátias agens, bene  díxit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: Accípite, et bíbite ex eo omnes.
29

In like manner, after He had supped, taking also this excellent chalice into His holy and venerable hands He blessed  , and gave it to His disciples, saying: Take and drink ye all of this,

HIC EST ENIM CALIX SANGUINIS MEI, NOVI ET ÆTERNI TESTAMENTI: MYSTERIUM FIDEI: QUI PRO VOBIS ET PRO MULTIS EFFUNDETUR IN REMISSIONEM PECCATORUM.


Hæc quotiescúmque fecéritis, in mei memóriam faciétis.
30

FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL TESTAMENT, THE MYSTERY OF FAITH; WHICH SHALL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR MANY UNTO THE REMISSION OF SINS.


As often as ye do these things, ye shall do them in remembrance of Me.

Unde et mémores, Dómine, nos servi tui, sed et plebs tua sancta, eiúsdem Christi Fílii tui, Dómini nostri, tam beátæ passiónis, nec non et ab ínferis resurrectiónis, sed et in cælos gloriósæ ascensiónis: offérimus præcláræ maiestáti tuæ de tuis donis ac datis, hóstiam  puram, hóstiam  sanctam, hóstiam  immaculátam, Panem  sanctum vitæ ætérnæ, et Cálicem  salútis perpétuæ.
31

Wherefore, O Lord, we Thy servants, as also Thy holy people, calling to mind the blessed Passion of the same Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, and also His Resurrection from the dead and His glorious Ascension into heaven: do offer unto Thy most excellent Majesty of Thine own gifts, bestowed upon us, a pure  Host, a holy  Host, an unspotted  Host, the holy  Bread of eternal life, and the Chalice  of everlasting salvation.

Supra quæ propítio ac seréno vultu respícere dignéris: et accépta habére, sicúti accépta habére dignátus es múnera púeri tui iusti Abel, et sacrifícium Patriárchæ nostri Abrahæ: et quod tibi óbtulit summus sacérdos tuus Melchísedech, sanctum sacrifícium, immaculátam hóstiam.
32

Upon which vouchsafe to look with a propitious and serene countenance, and to accept them, as Thou wert graciously pleased to accept the gifts of Thy just servant Abel, and the sacrifice of our patriarch Abraham, and that which Thy high priest Melchisedech offered to Thee, a holy Sacrifice, and unspotted Victim.
Súpplices te rogámus, omnípotens Deus: iube hæc perférri per manus sancti Angeli tui in sublíme altáre tuum, in conspéctu divínæ maiestátis tuæ: ut, quotquot ex hac altáris participatióne sacrosánctum Fílii tui Cor  pus, et Sán  guinem sumpsérimus, omni benedictióne cælésti et grátia repleámur. Per eúndem Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
We most humbly beseech Thee, almighty God, command these offerings to be borne by the hands of Thy holy Angels to Thine altar on high, in the sight of Thy divine majesty, that as many as shall partake of the most holy Body  and Blood  of Thy Son at this altar, may be filled with every heavenly grace and blessing. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Meménto étiam, Dómine, famulórum famularúmque tuárum N. et N., qui nos præcessérunt cum signo fídei, et dórmiunt in somno pacis. Ipsis, Dómine, et ómnibus in Christo quiescéntibus locum refrigérii, lucis, et pacis, ut indúlgeas, deprecámur. Per eúndem Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
Remember also, O Lord, Thy servants and handmaids N. and N., who are gone before us with the sign of faith, and rest in the sleep of peace. To these, O Lord, and to all that rest in Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, a place of refreshment, light, and peace; Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Nobis quoque peccatóribus fámulis tuis, de multitúdine miseratiónum tuárum sperántibus, partem áliquam et societátem donáre dignéris, cum tuis sanctis Apóstolis et Martýribus: cum Ioánne, Stéphano, Matthía, Bárnaba, Ignátio, Alexándro, Marcellíno, Petro, Felicitáte, Perpétua, Agatha, Lúcia, Agnéte, Cæcília, Anastásia, et ómnibus Sanctis tuis: intra quorum nos consórtium, non æstimátor mériti, sed véniæ, quǽsumus, largítor admítte. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum.

Through Christ our Lord.
Per quem hæc ómnia, Dómine, semper bona creas, sanctí  ficas, viví  ficas, bene  dícis et præstas nobis.
Per ip  sum, et cum ip  so, et in ip  so, est tibi Deo Patri  omnipoténti, in unitáte Spíritus  Sancti,

Iunctis manibus prosequitur:
In princípio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum. Hoc erat in princípio apud Deum. Omnia per ipsum facta sunt: et sine ipso factum est nihil, quod factum est: in ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hóminum: et lux in ténebris lucet, et ténebræ eam non comprehendérunt.
Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Ioánnes. Hic venit in testimónium, ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine, ut omnes créderent per illum. Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine.
Erat lux vera, quæ illúminat omnem hóminem veniéntem in hunc mundum. In mundo erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est, et mundus eum non cognóvit. In própria venit, et sui eum non recepérunt. Quotquot autem recepérunt eum, dedit eis potestátem fílios Dei fíeri, his, qui credunt in nómine eius: qui non ex sanguínibus, neque ex voluntáte carnis, neque ex voluntáte viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt. Genuflectit dicens: Et Verbum caro factum est, Et surgens prosequitur: et habitávit in nobis: et vídimus glóriam eius, glóriam quasi Unigéniti a Patre, plenum grátiæ et veritátis.

The beginning +︎ of the holy Gospel according to John
R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
John 1, 1-14

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made: in Him was life, and the life was the Light of men; and the Light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through Him. He was not the Light, but he was to testify concerning the Light.
That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him to them He gave power to become sons of God, to them that believe in His Name, who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Here all kneel. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us: and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
R. Thanks be to God.
