When will the night Barbara Spinelli waiting for the "after" the responsibilities of all those who have left to do or, as Cardinal Bagnasco, the ambiguity remains. La Repubblica, February 24, 2011
There is something in the success of the song ripped Sanremo Vecchioni, intertwined with other recent incidents which we can see with some clarity the state of mind of many Italians: something that reveals a widespread fatigue against the regime that Berlusconi has introduced 17 years ago, when claims to represent the optimistic, confident of the country.
fatigue, which resembles a disgust, a clipping. If we imagine the future that will reproduce the documentaries that we live today, we'll see all these episodes as a ringed necklace: the events that have defended the dignity of women, the power emanating from the performances of Benigni, who has poured on the televoting a song is not anodyne, as they were not trivial Biermann's songs in East Germany or Lounes Matoub killed in '98 in Algeria. It may be that everything is still in political circles, that the issue of public ethics, not moving neither they nor the Church. But among the people shaking leads to this anxiety, exasperation, of change.
A quest'Italia like when Benigni tells Brothers of Italy. Vecchioni like when she sings the "memory thrown away by these men in pain," and "all the boys and girls who are defending a book, a real book, so good to cry in the streets because they are killing the thought." When he concludes: "This damned night but will finish." Because it extends the sense of inhabiting a night of deceit, malice, sexual exploitation of minors. There is a desire to begin a revival. That politics and the Church, which is crucial in our history, see the reality behind the advertising.
Massimo Bucchi had anticipated, in a cartoon of January 19, 2010, this revolt against the false future promised by the lords of pain: "He has to step 'or the future." Those were the days when the government is not that they cared not for such failure, of Alfano constitutional process shortly. Property, the endless time gives us the same. That Jan. 19, the Senate met to commemorate Craxi. Struck just before the famous statue in Milan, Berlusconi announced "the year of love."
Perhaps we will remember these years for this series of events that slowly swept parliamentary games, terms with an imperious and absolute power with others, never himself. We'll remember this question of real politics. Finally, we remind the many who have not seen fit the tide of nausea, which allowed the worst out of boredom, or resignation, or calculation of the lobby. Let us not forget that 315 MPs voted much text, February 4, in which it is claimed that Berlusconi released Ruby We therefore believe Mubarak's nephew, he wanted to "avoid a diplomatic incident."
But above all, will affect the future documentaries inert sloth of Church leaders, the ear is open only to the powerful, the refusal - so un-Christian - to speak ill of evil just because of this evil flow favors, because the rulers to grant the Church the monopoly on so-called values \u200b\u200bare not negotiating (the control over life and death, essentially) if they are left alone when they violate the Constitution, make laws to evade justice, shows he does not know even remotely what the public decency. Flack's song, the recitation of Benigni, are points of light in a closed dark room, they are a force that faces the formidable strength of the regime. A force stubborn, insistent, which the opposition is even more alien and the Church.
Insurrection interior is also in the Catholic world: it is about a 30 per cent of refractory materials, including patrons of the Mass and priests. A glance at the innumerable letters written to pastors and priests against the leaders in the Vatican, to realize this. These letters of anger against their acquiescence. Micromega dissidents gives the name of another church and on its website makes them visible. The pages of the magazine readers on current pastoral Week are thick with complaints of Berlusconi.
This other church can no longer compromise the church with a right that nothing has inherited from the right side that made the historic unification of Italy. He discovered also the Risorgimento, the Constitution of '48. It shares ought Alberto Melloni of Catholics who summarizes: "A dedication to the great spiritual discipline, a record of lived prayerful silence, a garment of humility, adherence to constitutional democracy as a political ascent" (Corriere della Sera 19 -12-10, my emphasis).
among critics Cardinal Bagnasco, who is critical of the Premier does not overreach but for not less violently insults the judiciary. Or that a complaint against anthropological disaster but it does not pronounce anathema, preferring clarity to the murky alliances between PDL and Fini Casini that put the game out and left, too secular. Against this occur many priests: "You see how dangerous it is to remain silent?" Ask quoting Augustine. The wicked sins, but the guard who has missed: "He who has neglected to warn him will rightly be condemned."
prevailed in the North African countries similar division of tasks: the political rule of the despots, mosques freedom to shape the depths of consciousness. The exchange is jumping everywhere, so that we talk about the colossal failure of what the West called stability. It is in the name of stability that Berlusconi has called Mubarak a wise, and says not want to "disturb" Gaddafi just before he bombed by the Libyans in hundreds of deaths. You value the stability that drives many leaders in the Vatican, because it provides various benefices, tax rebates for houses of religious property, funding for schools.
In return you will lavish indulgences. Berlusconi says blasphemous words, and Msgr. Fisichella calls to "contextualize" the blasphemy. The Premier is accused of extortion and child prostitution, and the Church considers "abnormal" conduct such as that of judges. Says Nogaro, Bishop Emeritus of Caserta, "We remain in awe seeing the most painful gestures pharisaical of civil and religious authorities, who manage to arrive at all games of evil, claiming to use a more modern practice of virtue and liberating. "( Micromega 1 / 11).
liberticide Other priests warn against laws on living wills. Don Mario Piantelli, pastor of St. Michael the Archangel, is associated with "to requests from many parts of Italy are addressed to the Church leaders to raise a strong prophetic voice and to take actions against the Berlusconi government. You need a supplement of evangelical freedom to break away decisively from a system of government which, through the benefits and privileges, seems to benefit the "church world" and in fact alienated and impoverished believers. "
The Church had different behaviors in fascism. Similar is stained by sin, and no prophetic vision helps her to see the mood of a country that is changing, that maybe you do not vote but opposition is growing tired of what happens. That begins to look at itself, as well as the opponent. The newest sign, the women's event, said: "Just do not vote for him." It was enough virtue of the early Christians: parresia, the plain speaking.
In the film say that our future will be convened today's historians. They can imitate Benedetto Croce, when in Journals, 2-12-'43, began in the role of Mussolini and wrote: "Called to account for the damage and of onto which he threw in Italy, with his words and his actions and with all his arts of oppression and corruption, could respond to Italians as the wretched of capopopolo (...) Florence said to his companions in exile who tried to accuse of them led to disaster Montaperti: "And you, why did you believe him?". "
