The last, tragic Dylan


Dylan Dog I do not read for years, but this movie I also went to see ... until I saw the trailer. I do not know where to begin, so I can only say the first thing that crossed my mind m'è: without Groucho, what's the point?

Kiddie Smoke Detectors

Memory Color

Yes, I even changed the design, it was love at first sight for this wallpaper lemons. You know when a picture, sound an odor or any silly free memories? Behold, against this background brought me back to a part of my childhood that is linked to my grandmother visits to aunts - indeed, the great-aunts - and / or her friends, of course with grandson in tow. Yeah, because my father never wanted me to go to kindergarten, remembers when he came out with a broken nose and a series of unpleasant memories. I never asked to tell, but I always imagined a scene vaguely Dickensian. I said, the alternative to asylum was my grandmother, who in addition to bringing my brother and me to the park and watch our games, often violent - on the other hand, those of males have a tendency - we dragged visits I mentioned earlier. Over time I forgot the names of aunts and aunts, but not the set of those encounters, because most of the time, talking to people and events unknown to me, I had plenty of time to look around.
I remember an aunt with the house-toned pink, or maybe I remember it well because every time I went I did find paper and pens to draw, especially one that was pink and old for this m'è impressed. That color did not even know existed until I started to see it everywhere, especially at that particular aunt's house, which over time has become Aunt Rosa Antico.
In another reminder of the plates and small squares on the wall, even though I can not focus on those images, and what remains for me is - again - the colors. In this case, yellow, white, green and black, but combined in a very imaginative and cheerful. It seems to me also to remember where you live, but I would not swear. That aunt did not even have a nickname, it's just a fantasy of images that seem blurry but always about to come to the surface and then remains stubborn under the water, but we call her Aunt Decorated. Yes, I think the are well. The third
I remember was the aunt of Rimini, and leads immediately to the dolphins that I had promised I would see by going to find, but of course I'm still waiting to see. But I remember the china in his house, white and colored, put a little 'everywhere with lots of crocheted doilies as if one should arise in mo' Venus' from the waters, including - not even to make it - a dolphin. I could touch it? Better not. So here's a small, plastic and, as a sop. Luckily I was a kid with a lively imagination, so I did it enough. Or at least I think maybe instead I cried like a desperate and I do not remember anymore. From there, somehow, dolphins, porcelain and Rimini are mixed in a memory gray, white and pink. Funny how the colors of my past memories more than any other detail.
Even the memory of my grandmother a color to a pale blue, sometimes with shades of lilac, which is attributed to his clothing in one of his pots. I swear, had to be glazed or whatever it was that color outside and white inside. There, now that I think that's also the color of those tiny flowers of the field that my grandmother - taught me an afternoon at the park - called the eyes of the Madonna, which means the Myosotis forget-me-or, I find that now, thanks be to Wikipedia the official flower of Grandparents Day. Wow, thank goodness that falls on July 31 and not today, or I took a shot to the abuse of coincidences. And now that the color rises to the top, as when dilute the time, I remember that his hair had that bluish tinge, typical of many other old women who abuse lacquer after the permanent hair white.
This thing I had to explain better and in more technical terms thanks to a straight hairdresser, but if not I think of the color of his speech that will be hard for me to remember the details. Okay, trust me. However this tour was in the memory to justify the new look of the blog, and the street I was there I put a little 'of the past where maybe one day I can read it, if in addition to short-sighted, astigmatic, and so I become too color-blind.

Family Guy In Quick Time

The Wheel of Good Government

was 2008 and I had another blog on Splinder - now dies of starvation (the blog, not Splinder) - but on which I wrote something today Polideuce reminded me, and that still seems current. The idea that desire I had come by looking at the state we were lowering, and that after three years has only worsened the prognosis. In those days I had a desire to Robespierre and disfigured that I toyed with the idea of \u200b\u200bcalling into service the good old Madame Guillotine, just to give our politicians an incentive to behave well, but then I realized that it would be like asking the hens do not lay eggs or rabbits do not eat their own feces (yes, do).

The fact is that we just do not know rule. We are too busy to worship the power to the power, kiss slippers instead of the Church to claim the secular state and instead of bowing to his holy will reject interference, cut funds to education and research by destroying the future of the country and processing the young people as a burden rather than a resource; hinder the police and the courts by depriving them of the investigative tools such as wiretapping and the only laws are those that go ad personam, which looks a bit 'are the usual mugs and maybe their political cronies who come into joining the initial problem.
Not to mention our inability - as a people - to stand up to injustice, protest and make us feel, send home those who commit crimes and ensuring our government. No, in most cases we are not even informed about what is happening, and we can get around by any dancing there rifilino.

Admittedly, there is no way to govern without bullshit.
So here's the idea: appaltiamoci!

Several governments are more capable and competent than we could ever be this political class, because as long as the loins of our nation will not be born so rotten no good, So Let's face it and let us know by those who govern do so.
I suggest a good wheel to turn, with so much ceremony in prime time (maybe a unified networks), which will be extracted - there is also a vote pretty well, let's face it - the country which will give us the political class for that session administrative . In return, we strive to provide trade facilitation and so on, then ... well, there are good compromises, and even the national mignottaggio. After all, the peninsula is shaped like a stiletto-heeled boots, think about it.

say that any government will last four years, then we go back to win on the Wheel of Good Government. From that you can do! You by far the best idea that I came to respect, because my confidence in the commitment of the political class to change this state of affairs is zero. So let's hand on your heart and ask: what are we waiting for a miracle? No, there is hope.
Oh my God, there would be at the top if there was a little wind of change 'more often than not, but we all know that the only thing you can do well is stick to the Italian political chair like a cockle and persist longer. They should do some work on this point, I have two theories: the first is that the sweat secreted by the buttocks will produce a powerful natural adhesive, the second is that they use a suction effect - suction type - using the sphincter (in any way, tell me if there are other theories, because research continues). And we
tenerceli? I say mandiamoli home, let us trust in Lady Luck. The odds of worsening scare you? No, not me. We should beware and think, what we say ... will be estimated at around five per cent? If you think for a minute, this is the logical conclusion to which we all came from that day (say 1994, when a garden gnome "came down the pitch," or even earlier).

Okay, now let's go to the specific and practical, let's say that on the Wheel of Good Government will not put nations made worse off or who already have enough problems on their way, nor those of a warlike might annex or on a permanent bureaucracy as a mere distraction. I bets on Europe - after all, are part of it, it's time to return the favor with some hustler, and meanwhile let us manage in a reasonable and productive - in most confess that I would not mind the idea of \u200b\u200bfour years of the Dutch government, four of the Swedish etc.. Sure, probably France and Germany are not gonna get even with a pair of pliers from a fireplace, but otherwise we can agree.

The rules are more than simple.
All countries concerned put their name on the wheel, after verification that the staff of the government presented no:
  1. has sent his country into a cow;
  2. is influenced by various lobby and / or the Church (which, if not a lobby that!)
  3. counts among its members on which to hang files or processes that are in any way guilty of conflict of interest.
At that point we get the draw, and then ... good governance at all!
said that, I'd say happy. The other details we can agree, but do, do not involve our politicians in the preparation, these things are worse than useless.

How Do I Get Rid Of A Watermark On Avs

Life written by others

not know about you, but sometimes I wonder one thing we could not give an answer, so I try to girarvela to make me a picture and look around in your affairs with impunity. Okay, but let's get to the point before the end as milk, the question is this: looking at yourself and your life, have you ever tried to imagine the author could have written the script and all other parties that compose it? Here, I realize that the question is quite complex (as well as a handful of mental samples), so I try to analyze it into parts.
  1. Who do you think is the author could have created your character? Maybe you happened to read a book or a movie you'll see one in which, for better or for worse, we are recognized. Hey, after all ... it's not your fault that you have written so! Yeah, but who did?
  2. Very good, and now we pass to the atmosphere or the environment around you, because that is the scenario in which you develop your adventures. In your opinion, who could have written it? Again, maybe there is an author or a director who has inadvertently evoked the times and places in your life, or if he did not, maybe there is one that you think could do it.
  3. We come to what is perhaps the most important part: the script. Who, with generosity or sadism - depends on the case - may have written the story of your life and have it told, doing this and that happen or allow it to hang in limbo for entire chapters? It's time to pull out your suspicions!
  4. Here, a question concediamoci lighter, just to give us an overall picture. Tell me, honestly, in your opinion, what kind or combination of literary or film (no more than three if not do not go out more) belongs to your life? Comedy, romantic, dramatic, action, adventure, horror ... well, it let's hope not!
  5. Finally, we conclude with a question lighter and liberating. If you could choose instead the writing staff, all at your disposal to make every point on your terms, who would?
Well, I hope these questions will stimulate a number of interesting answers but I have not found (not for nothing that I wrote the post because I intend to look around and think about your own conclusions). If the answer is complex, rather than leaving a comment you can write a post on your blog (perhaps quoting this source), and if you were to like the idea ... well, you free to run them as a meme. Or not.

The two resurrections

have faith and 'find the pleasure of reading the Gospels for his own account, to hear Christ's words echo still strong in our world, our hearts and learn how to interpret the Gospel message, which is universal (and not only culturally Jewish-old and endorsed by the ecclesiastical hierarchy in the message to only one interpretation) resonates in so many different strings, one for every soul on Earth.

Cosi ', if the Church reads the Gospel during Mass, and its interpretation, let us also highlight the steps that the more' feel vibrate within us, we make it alive and not dead the Word handed down to us, we discover what is not stressed enough and understand what is more ' important for the man who unites us, makes us feel siblings regardless of religion (that of "religious" or wire).

And often it is the ancient commentators, who proclaims the church Doctors of the Catholic Church, to illuminate the steps of the gospel in a language devoid still clean, not contaminated by the dogmatism of the councils, medieval fanaticism, bad example of Popes, from modernism and dall'intrasigenza doctrine (and 'so' and that's it, otherwise you're out) and it 'nice to discover, as San Augustine well that differentiates the first resurrection the second resurrection .
first read John

" Verily, verily I say unto you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and does not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life.

Verily, verily, I say the time has come, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
as the Father has life in itself himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself, and gave him the power to judge, because he is the Son of man.

Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming when all who that are in the graves shall hear his voice and come forth, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation.
I can not do anything by myself, I judge as I hear, and my opinion is right, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me. "(John 5-24)

Following is commentary by St. Augustine in the cities of God, which I reproduce in full, 'cause in my opinion explains magistrarlmente the two resurrections of the passage of John, first, that of souls, without trial, taking place now, in time, when the soul embraces the Faith, and the second resurrection, the final and timeless human (and it 's useless waiting time), that "in the flesh" (no doubt, in the Greek translation from Hebrew meaning and' just what) in accordance with the mentality 'of the Old Hebrew Sheol.

The City 'of God, Book XX, chap 6

The two resurrections in John ...
6.1. Then he adds: Verily, verily, I say that the time has come, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will have life. As the Father has life in himself, so he gave the Son to have life in himself .
does not talk yet the second resurrection, that of the body, as it will in the end, but the first that occurs over time. To distinguish said The time has come, and this is . In fact, it is not the body but the soul.
The soul has its own death through lack of faith and sins. They died of his death those whom the Lord says: Let the dead bury their dead , in effect, that is, that the dead bury the dead soul in the body.
And for the dead soul to a lack of faith and honesty, he says, The time has come, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who are discouraged live. For those who wanted to hear those who obey, believe and persevere to the end. In this step has not indicated any difference in good and bad. For all
it is good to hear his voice and live the life of faith through the death of his lack of faith.
of this death, the Apostle Paul said: therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should not live for themselves but for him who died and rose for their . Therefore all have died, without exception, the original sin that so voluntarily or through ignorance or because, knowing, not good works.
And for all the dead one is alive than dead, ie, had absolutely no pity for those who live by the forgiveness, no longer live for themselves but for him who died for all because of our sins and was raised for our justification. This
that all of us, believing in him, incredulous that redeems, redeemed from the incredulity, almost back to life from death, could belong to the first resurrection which occurs over time. At first it does not belong only those who will be happy in eternity, and he teaches that the second of which is about to speak, are part of the happy and unhappy. The current
and mercy, the other of the proceedings. That is a Psalm was written: I will sing, Lord, Mercy and Judgement.

... and the two reviews, one of condemnation.
6. 2. With regard to that finding adds the words: and gave him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man . In the passage suggests that it will come to judge the same flesh in which he had come to be judged. In order says: Since it is the Son of Man. And he added on the subject we are dealing with says Do not marvel at this, because the time will come when all who are in the graves shall hear his voice and come forth, those who do good to the resurrection of life, those who worked for the evil a rise to be condemned. is the concept that shortly before trial, as now, had used to condemn. He told: who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and does not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life .
In fact, since it belongs in the first resurrection, by which time we pass from death to life, will not go to the condemnation of that meeting stated the term of the proceedings, as well as in the passage where he says: Those who have done evil will meet Resurrection of the trial, that the sentencing . rises again in the first resurrection, those who do not want to be condemned in the second. It is a time and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live, that will not go to the condemnation of that meeting is considered the second death. In it, after the second resurrection, which will be of the bodies, will turn out those who are not raised in the first is that of souls.
It says: will come a time therefore, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice and come forth . He did not say in the manner of the first resurrection: And those who hear will live. In fact, not all will live the life that should be considered only because life is happy. Certainly not without a few lives could hear, and because the meat was raised, out of the tombs.
Indicates the reason that not everyone will live with the following words: Those who do good works, he says, will in the resurrection of life, these are the ones who will live, then those who have done evil will go to the resurrection of the trial; and they are the ones who will not live because they will die the second death. They do evil because they have lived evil are evil because they are not relived experiences in the first resurrection of souls, which is in time, or may not have persevered to the end in a position where they were. Therefore they are new creations, which I have already spoken, according to a faith that takes place over time through baptism and the other in the flesh that will happen with his immortality, out of becoming through the universal Last Judgement .
So there are two resurrections, one before and it is in the time of the soul, and it does not get to the second death, and a second that is not in time, but it will be the end of time, and it is not body and soul but it through the final assessment, introduces the second death, others to life without death.

Something To Wear When Going To The Cinema?

"Thank God, I'm an atheist"

The title, perhaps not too original, is a quote from Luis Buñuel or Woody Allen, according to the source that you find around. Of course, I have said that Buñuel more precisely "I, thank God, I've always been an atheist" , whereas the best known would be attributable to Woody, which would have mentioned the concept in a more concise (and incisive, in my opinion), but be a little 'you. In any case, Hamlet doubt there will ruin the reading of the following.

Here and there I have often inserted references to my relationship with religion - or non-relationship, to be more correct - but do not think I've ever addressed the topic in a specific post. Well, since I'm trying to crawl out from a stage where I will not even write a grocery list, let's see if this issue can shake enough to finish at least one post.

I have never been Christian, although my family has tried, or at least acceded to social convention, and then: baptism, communion, confirmation ... all done, but without faith or desire. The catechism was torture, the only times that I was interested in the subject when it came to Genesis and Revelation. The Bible and the Gospel will also best sellers, but I tell you ... except the beginning and the end, these books have very few amenities. Or at least when you're a child, a boy and then forced to recite a creed without meaning or value, especially for you that you have to bear a part in the pantomime of a religious path that does not belong to you (but then, at that age, how could it?). It is just a big bore.
But yes, I said that Genesis and Revelation interested me, and this was due to the presence of the Devil (well, I can already hear a clamor to do so), even if on purpose, which is the most interesting and complex character of history. I mean, the Archangel brighter than the Paradise that rebels against God and plunges into the underworld with his fellow ... how do you not? Then, after a series of slides on the drop that made up the lesson concerned that other useless "progress" that could not be his.
dramaturgically speaking, of course.
"Teacher, can we still speak of the devil?"
"No, not in the program. Study the Commandments, "
And okay, cerchiamoci a new idol. Arriva
Cain kills his brother but that Mr. trade mark only God, saying that Hands Off Cain who are dicks. Interesting policy: Adam and Eve eat an apple and get the eviction, he works with great sweat and she gives birth with great pain, Cain kills his brother and invents the wandering backpacker, but no one can twist even a hair. God abuses of Prozac, is unclear. When he arrived in Canaan (or maybe it was somewhere else, sorry but I can not remember), Cain found his wife and marries.
"Master, who created the Cain's wife? It's your sister? Teacher, why is green? "
" Hush! "
Okay, even with Cain went wrong.
Then came the Gospels there is this, Judas, that looks interesting. I do not say nice, Why do not you tell him so, but still is the most intriguing, because instead of staying there to be a chorus line to Jesus, has a role. In fact, kisses him and has him arrested. Here, he is so nice to me. Because Jesus is a character too much for her going to be credible, or even just interesting how Judas or Thomas, who is to say, at least Jesus puts his finger on the problem to see if he jokes. And then, if there had been no Judas, no job and no cross, even Jesus did not have to queue and instead of Christianity we get no more than a reformed sect of Jews.
Now that I think, a little 'Judas is me on the ass. But
here, the economy of the matter seemed to me that Judas was the engine, more than a thorn in the side. The Christians were angry with Judah, but it is he who created them, maybe even more than Jesus would have wanted and more.

Yes okay, I thought this is not the child, then I'm stirring thoughts and considerations that have come after, because it is a bit 'hard to make the history of everything I thought or I thought as a child Up to today, and then I tend to change their minds and develop from time to time, so mind you.
to say, once I believed in God, and certainly not thanks to Christianity.
was The Great Book of Prehistory (oh, there was a better picture of my edition) to enlighten me, love at first sight for evolution. I seemed to have much more sense, he answered my questions instead of asking me to believe in something that smelled too much of mythology. Here, and here is how this was possible ... anyway, because a kid who tell fantastic tales (females created by the ribs, men walking on water and raise the dead, fallen angels and monsters that rise from the sea and earth at the end of time) should not believe it? Well, because he read of the most beautiful and knew they were bales (which almost rhymes).
In principle, it was The Great Book of Mythology (this however I have not just found, urca if I'm old), where I read about Zeus and his ingroppate nubile nymphs and queens married Herculean labors, Argonaut and Homeric cruises , monsters and gods, handsome princes and princesses of rats significantly dumplings. In short, when landing from classical mythology to Christianity is like leaving a party and end up in a rosary.
short, I was already jaded and faith (or rather, indoctrination) has done the miracle that was proposed . No Jesus for me. No saint or Madonna saving in vogue at the time. But God - somehow - was a cool (and indeed, found that the other figures were unnecessary and distracts from the one just worship God), and somehow made sense in the context that I was forming. He stood there, watching over his creation and playing a role of referee, but without violating free will, a pun on words which is also what then seemed the policy of God I am what I believe, at least. He / she / it was - for me - the Soul of the Universe, as mine was in my body. Yes, because in the end I got what I thought made sense, reorganizing my way. Like many others I had a cocktail of god and science, I told myself that the poignant beauty Universe was the spark of the divine that no religious text could explain or show (bla bla bla), but only with dirty words pretentiously empty and out of time (re-bla bla bla). Okay, maybe start at the beginning I said I did not exactly in those terms, but that's where I went then to parry.

Over time, however, came more questions, and faith has not been adequate. Citing Dogma (Kevin Smith, 1999), Liz said:
'[...] Faith is like a glass of water. When you're young, the glass is small, and it's easy to fill up. But the older you get, the bigger the glass gets, and the amount of liquid Same Does not fill it anymore. Periodically, the glass has to be Refill.
Here, my glass has become bigger when they come new questions.
because I feel that is so, or because I was taught to believe it? Is there really a god, or is an illusion which reassures us as Santa Claus? If we accept the free will, it still makes sense to believe in a god that does not have a say? If the only thing that certifies the existence and religion - that, well, coming from a suspect - while the rest did not show track is not that simply does not exist?
So I said that god or no god, it did not matter. I filled the glass with more doubts and arguments. For a while 'I was agnostic and let everyone believe as they like but I remain convinced that the existence of God was irrelevant to mine. Free will, self-determination, we are there, and God Almighty does not need any to tell you how to live your life.
Certain rules have evolved with us, not hurt your like, looking after your children, protect the land and helps the community. So do animals, not dogma, it is nature. And I do not think that God has written in our genes, as many advocates would like to believe in intelligent design and similar theories.
Today, God does not make sense.
I miss? No. There is even some relief in not having to depend on how deaf omnipotent entity that may or may not wake up there. Has anything changed in my way of being and behaving? Again, absolutely not. Right or wrong does not depend on God but from the cause-effect relationship (well behaved and the other will behave the same way with you - okay, there are assholes, but those replying in kind, other than turn the other cheek ), also did not become a degenerate deviated from morality because I stopped believing, and even more fun because I found the little devil of Jesus is normal - especially children - focus on the characters that have more "color", and Satan had a long (red, above), but in the end it was like all the other characters from classical mythology or fairy tales, but fun two-dimensional.
Today even God is in the back pages. His was a character who helped me to grow, pushing me to think about certain things from an angle which has since changed, causing you to see from multiple perspectives, and understand that the world, you have faith or not, is the same , and that if one plant obsessed only with a single point of view, life goes better.
Here, we say that one is wearing a bandage across his life and believes that that is the color of the world, then if one takes and sees that there are many more, until you note that many others wear bandages of different colors and all are convinced that that is the color of the world, that everyone should see it and whoever says otherwise is wrong. Well, better not wear it at all and see things as they are, good or bad.

Perhaps those who have to deal with these problems or has reached an impasse with their faith, should reflect on another quote: "Respect the delicate ecology of your delusions" (Mr. Lies, "Angels in America", 2003), so comes the day when you come to terms.

Sheol and resurrection

The Sheol (pronounced Sh'ol) and 'the place where, according to the Old Testament stay dead. It' important to understand my Parece the concept of the afterlife and the Hebrew 'strong ties to the concept of resurrection Christian (as evidenced in the New Testament) and because' the Catholic Church still preaches this eschatological vision of the world, which in my opinion, but according to others and 'very logical and understandable.

The first important concept, and' that the Jews inseparable soul and body, unlike the Greek conception (the soul that can ' live without a body) is also different from many of Eastern religions and the current Christian Gnostic (not influenced by the Greek case).
  • For the Greeks, the soul, spark of God, incarnated in a body and at the death body, the soul returns to God
  • For Jews and 'the opposite, and' the body it gives life, so it 's true that God splasma clay to create the first man and breathes life, so the Jews are one body with the soul, and not a soul with a body (change priority') .
    Then soul and body are tied together, if the body dies the soul follows the fate of the body and goes into Sheol, the underworld.
IOC 'not surprising because the Jewish people share the mentality 'of the Semitic races, where you and' differentiated in time. The ancient Semitic peoples lived in the fertile plains of the Tigris and Euphrates. It was a hard life because of the frequent flooding of rivers (nien to do with tranquility 'of the Nile) destroyed what' that was sown. Even the buildings were made of clay and corruptible in time (most of 'the stone that did not exist in the area).
Hence a pessimistic conception of life and therefore almost materialistic: enjoy this life because it 's one and after you go all in Sheol, good and bad, forever (the Resurrection will be' introduced later).

Famous example is' the yearning of the hero Gilgamesh , in the more 'great epic of antiquity', where the hero in the face of adversity 'of life and the inevitability of' death is told:

" Where are you going Gilgamesh?
The way you try you will not find


When the great gods created mankind, they

Destined to death

is reserved for themselves eternal life
"

place in these terms, life would be really sad, but this was the mentality of 'Semitic and this' and' logical that a dowry was brought by the first Jews (not just This inherited from the Sumerians, think of the myth of Noah's flood - that is the flooding of the Tigris and Euphrates - the same story in both the Bible and Sumerian chronicles).

What 'Sheol then? Since soul and body are inextricably linked to Jews (as distinct but inseparable), Sheol and 'the place of separation from God, non-communication, that' the body that awaits his death and that there will remain 'forever, at least in the primitive conception. The only consolation
and 'loyalty' to God, and God's favor would be expressed with the glory of their people, with the victory over the enemy population, then an earthly reward, not the individual but for the entire population ( and its descendants).

Subsequently, the prophet Malachi onwards, will be 'introduced the concept of resurrection from Sheol. Gia 'the Bible speaks of God as man who can' decide to come back to life (soul and body) who find themselves in Sheol. After the captivity
'Babylonian, or following the deportation of a people - a serious national disaster - the reward is not the most' seen as God's chosen people favors (in fact does not explain why 'God has left them to be deported), but as individual assessment at the end of time. All those in Sheol resurrected in the flesh (soul and body) and will be judged.

is the resurrection of the body in the mentality of 'Catholic taken in toto from the Jewish one, and it will be 'the language they will use the evangelists in the world to spread the message of Jesus' Christ, according to their mentality', as Jews can understand and explain to those who had not, and you jew is confronted with this strange concept, especially if the mentality 'Greek.

How do you reconcile this? For me, nothing to do with faith. The message of Christ, the Son of God, 'a message of love among the people, the "second birth " mentioned in the beautiful San Giovanni, the second birth happens now, when you become aware of this universal message .
Jesus' eschatology has not done, the early Christians take Jewish eschatology and incorporating it in their old rituals - legally, that's fine - but it could be taken in place of the Greek metempsychosis, the same was true for intellectual and educational purposes.
But by faith, in my opinion is the love that Christ taught us, not the eschatology.

guide him on the path of goodness,
it comes to light that has no end.
through Christ our Lord.

This date coincides with the presentation of Jesus' at the Temple , 40 days after his birth, or December 25, as required by Jewish law. Also coincides with the end of purification of Mary, since, according to the Jewish conception, a woman remains unclean for all 40 days following delivery.
Cosi 'in the Gospel of Luke (2:22) is told in the presentation of Jesus' in the Temple, with the blessing of the aged Simeon.

When the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses, they took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord and to offer a sacrifice of a pair of doves or two young pigeons, as required Law of the Lord.
Now in Jerusalem there was a man named Simeon, a just man and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, the Holy Spirit was upon him, had foretold that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. Prompted by the Spirit, he went to the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to perform the Law, he took him into his arms and blessed God

"Now let us, O Lord, your servant
depart in peace according to thy word;
because my eyes have seen your salvation,
you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
light for revelation to the Gentiles
and glory of thy people Israel. "

The father and mother were amazed at what was said about him. Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother: "He is here for the fall and rising of many in Israel, a sign of contradiction, that may be revealed the thoughts of many hearts. And a sword will pierce your soul. "
there was a prophetess, Anna, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. It was a great age, having lived with her husband seven years from the time he was girl, then was widowed and now she was eighty years old. She never left the temple, serving God night and day with fasting and prayers. Coming up at that moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke of him to those looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
