Isis, scourges, punishments and much more in the diaries of the visionary Bruno Cornacchiola
Cornacchiola's harsh and inspired considerations do not turn indiscriminately against other religions and their faithful, but rather stigmatize the fundamentalism of those who exploit the faith for political and ideological reasons. In particular with regard to Islamism, its thrust has as its target those who make a fundamentalist reading of the Koran, inciting violence against those who think otherwise.
The poem documents that nefarious inauspicious dream, written by Bruno in the early 2000s, which anticipated increasingly widespread concerns in recent times: "Dear Islamic fundamentalists / are not Muslims of Muhammad, / disguise themselves, are diabolical, / in Kosovo, Chechnya, India, even if I put / East Timor, Sudan and even Slavonia, / Islam reappears fundamentalist, / after Lepanto and Vienna now hangs / fanaticism and kills at first sight. / It is a dream made this morning, / everyone shouts: 'To death the Christians'; / a real carnage happens! / Fundamentalists shout: 'Marrani!' / 'Long live Allah and Muhammad in Medina ...' / Blood, their hands were full! »
Of particular impact is an experience that the visionary lived on the night between 31 December 1984 and 1 January 1985, always on the border between dream and prophecy. The story is dramatic:
«I feel myself being transported (the whole body) to the center of Rome, and precisely to Piazza Venezia. There were many people gathered there who shouted: 'Revenge! Vengeance! Tremendous revenge! '; many dead were on the square, and in the other adjacent squares and in the streets. Much blood flowed: but I also saw a lot of blood - despite being in Piazza Venezia - on the asphalt all over the world (because from Piazza Venezia I was present - internally or externally, I don't know) the whole world, all smeared with blood! Suddenly, all those people who shouted 'Vendetta, vendetta, tremendous vendetta' start shouting: 'Everyone in San Pietro! Everyone to San Pietro! '; so I too, in the crowd, was pushed towards St. Peter; and we walked, all narrow, the Corso Vittorio Emanuele, and everyone - like a song of hatred and anger - continued to shout: 'Vendetta!' »
Along with this cry, Bruno heard another word, furiously marked: Bezboznik, which in Russian, as he later discovered, means 'without God':
«You arrive on via della Conciliazione, and from a distance I see the church of San Pietro - at the end of the via della Conciliazione - and I stand with my back against a wall of a building where as early as 1950 I saw San Pietro from afar and the Pope Pius XII who, from the lodge, proclaimed the dogma of the assumption of the Virgin Mary into Heaven! Then I pray for everyone, for all those people who shouted 'revenge' and went towards the square. Suddenly I hear a voice telling me (but it was not the voice of the Virgin): 'Don't stop there: go to the square too!' At this point I leave that place and go to the square ».
On the square inside the colonnade there were the Pope, cardinals, bishops, priests and religious:
«Everyone was crying. Wonder: they were barefoot and, with a white handkerchief in their right hand, they dried their tears, their eyes; and they had (I saw it well), in the left hand, some ash. I look and feel great pain inside me and ask myself: 'Why, Lord, all this? Because?' A voice I hear shouting: 'Mourning! Great mourning! Pray for help to come from Heaven! '; and this was the Virgin's voice: 'Do penance! Pray! Penance!' Then he repeats three times: 'Pray! Pray! Pray! Penance! Penance! Penance! They cry because they can no longer hold back and stem the evil that is rampant in the heart and spirit of man in the world! Man must return to the true God! '; then he says: 'To the holy God; and don't argue which God! ' Then I hear another louder cry, which says, 'I am!' (which was no longer the voice of the Virgin). Then the Virgin starts again to speak: 'Man must humble himself and obey the law of God, and look for no other law that distances him from God! How should one live? My Church (and here it changes voice) is one: and you have made many! My Church is holy: and you have disintegrated it! My Church is Catholic: it is for all men of good will who accept and live the sacraments! My Church is apostolic: teach the way of truth and you will have and will give life and peace to the world! Obey, humble yourselves, do penance and you will have peace! '»
Other times that vision returned to distress the seer. For example, on March 6, 1996 he writes:
"A terrible night full of fear, macabre dreams, dead, blood, blood, blood everywhere. When I saw blood from Piazza Venezia and blood in the world in San Pietro ».
And also on October 15, 1997:
«Today I relived that dream in which the Virgin takes me to Piazza Venezia and from there I saw the whole terrestrial world drenched in blood, then she takes me with the atheist crowd to St. Peter's, there is the Pope, cardinals, bishops and in the churchyard priests, men and women religious with a handkerchief in one hand and the ash in another, the ash on the head and with the handkerchief wiped away the tears. How many sufferings ».
On July 21, 1998 "I dreamed that Muslims surrounded the churches and closed the doors and from the roofs they threw petrol and set fire, with the faithful in prayer and everything on fire too". Further similar visions of violence inspire him, on February 17, 1999, an anticipatory reflection of the heated debates of our day:
"But why don't responsible men see the invasion of Islam in Europe? What is the purpose of these invasions? Do they no longer remember Lepanto? Or have they forgotten the siege of Vienna? A peaceful invasion cannot be seen when those who declare themselves Christians or convert to Christ are killed in their Islamic country. Not only that, but they don't allow you to build churches or proselytize. "
At dawn on February 10, 2000, another anguished dream:
«I am with the whole Sacri in San Pietro for the purchase of the jubilee indulgences. Suddenly we hear a rumble of a strong explosion, then shouts: 'To death the Christians!' A crowd of barbarians ran into the basilica, killing anyone they met. I shout to Sacri: 'Let's go out and make a wall in front of the basilica'. We go to the churchyard, we all get on our knees with the holy rosary in our hands and we pray to the Virgin to come with Jesus to save us. The whole square was full of faithful, priests, men and women religious. The faithful prayed with us. The women wore black or white headscarves; all the priests present with the cassock; the men and women religious each with their own religious habit; on the sides of the churchyard, the bishops were on the left of those looking at the church, the cardinals on the right, and prayed on their knees with their faces on the ground ... suddenly the Virgin is there with us and says: 'Have faith, they will not prevail'. We cry for joy and the persecutors come out, they were about to launch themselves over us, but a host of angels surround us and the devilish ones leave their weapons on the ground, many scared run away and others kneel with us saying: 'Your faith is true , we believe'. The cardinals and bishops stand up and with a bucket full of water baptize the pagans, who were kneeling, and all cry out: 'Long live Mary, Virgin of Revelation, who showed us Jesus the Word who saved humanity' . We continue to pray with the Virgin and the bells of San Pietro ring in celebration, while the Pope comes out ».
It is precisely the Pope at the center of the concerns of the Virgin of Revelation, who from the first message of April 12, 1947 had declared: "The Holiness of the Father reigning in the throne of divine love will suffer, for a little, to death for something, short , which, under his reign, will happen. Still few others will reign on the throne: the last, a saint, will love his enemies; showing him, forming the unity of love, he will see the victory of the Lamb ».
