Painting: The Holy Kinship, by Geertgen tot Sint Jans
Christ’s next of kin are gathered in an imaginary medieval church. The term for such a scene derives from the word for a blood relation. At left, the Virgin [in blue] is seated with Jesus on her lap beside her mother, Anne. Behind them stand their husbands, Joachim and Joseph. At right sits Mary’s cousin Elizabeth with her son, John the Baptist

​«Sexual intercourse must follow the laws of nature [between men and women]. Those who practice other customs go against the law of reason; that demonstrates their mental illness» [Copyright Lino Arenare de Cesare]

«Shameful and unnatural actions must be detested and punished everywhere and at all times, as were those of the Sodomites. And these actions, even if they were practiced by all men, would all be subject to the same condemnation on the basis of divine law, which did not create men to be used in this way. For the covenant that must exist between us and God is violated if the very nature of which He is the creator is sullied by the perversion of lust.

«There are thoughts and ideologies. Communists and progressives do not belong to thoughts or to an ideology, because thought, like the idea, requires an immaterial vision of form; they are materialists, therefore they are chained in a whirlwind of matter that does not think and does not have an idea» [Copyright by Lino Arenare de Cesare]
