7. “ In the Heart of the Church ”
After two years of philosophy, the seminarians became seniors, moved into the large building and entered “ theology. ” There, it was no longer philosophic reasoning that commanded, but divine Revelation explained by the Church. “ It was no longer work but recreation, or I should say, a permanent contemplation ! [...] We were listening to the Church and, through her, to Our Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Himself God. ”
8. First Controversies
Intelligence does not suffice to defend the truth. The gift of Counsel is required. “ Wisdom comes imperceptibly to those who listen to their masters, and from the seminarian is born the priest, over the years.

13. Parish priest of Villemaur
On September 14, 1958, we sang the first vespers of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows in the stalls of the marvellous church of Villemaur, where our Father exercised his ministry for five years with unequalled zeal, characterised above all by his assiduity in teaching his people to pray. [...]

Pope Francis’ denial
It was with beating hearts that we saw Pope Francis fly off to visit the United Arab Emirates. What a disappointment it was! Under the pretext of “interreligious dialogue,” the Pope left his own religion in Rome. He did nothing more than adapt his discourse to Muslim “monotheism.”
2.9. “Russia Will Spread her Errors, Causing Wars and Persecutions...”
In the years 1929-1931, everything depended on the Pope. If Russia had been consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, neither the Second World War nor the explosive expansion of communism would have taken place.

Ps 9 : Jesus ! Mary !
In expectation of Jesus and Mary, this psalm already proclaims the annunciation of the « daughter of Sion », the personification of the « poor of Israel », faithful Yahwists, whose faith is upright and whose hope is invincible.
Eugenio Zolli : from the synagogue to the Church of Rome
Basing himself on the Old Testament as on the “ Rock of Israel ”, Eugenio (Israel) Zolli (1881-1956) was not content with a “ philosophic ” view, juxtaposing Judaism and Christianity as two static entities, each retaining its own position, but he opens a passage from one to the other, from the Rock of Israel to the Catholic Church founded on the “ Rock ” which is Christ Our Lord, and he advances towards it as « the prophet of a new world », the precursor of a numerous people.
