SILVIO BERLUSCONI IS DEAD, MAN LOVED AND HATED, BUT UNDOUBTED PIECE OF THE HISTORY OF ITALY

Regardless of everyone's political positions and personal beliefs, the merit of courage and enterprise must be recognized to President Silvio Berlusconi, the merit of having worked intensely, we can say until the end, in the creation of his own company and in the creation of a political project that was able to intercept the interest and appreciation of millions of Italians.

Silvio Berlusconi died this morning at the San Raffaele hospital in Milan where he was hospitalized again last Friday 9 June, after a previous hospitalization due to pneumonia and myelomonocytic leukemia. The coffin was transported from the hospital to the villa in Arcore at 3:00 pm 12. Tomorrow the funeral chapel will be set up at the Mediaset headquarters in the studio 20 of Cologno Monzese. The funeral will take place on Wednesday in the Cathedral of Milan.

Regardless of political positions and each person's personal beliefs, the merit of courage and enterprise must be recognized to President Silvio Berlusconi, the merit of having worked intensely, we can say until the end, in the creation of his own company and in the creation of a political project that was able to intercept the interest and appreciation of millions of Italians.

His “descent into the field”, by borrowing one of his own expressions, in an Italy that was experiencing a profound political crisis linked to the effects of Tangentopoli and of Mafia bombs, with the consequent crisis of the three parties which, until then, they had led the political scene, had given new determination to the group of moderates who had been disappointed by the events of those years.

I believe that one of the great merits of President Berlusconi was that of never stooping to accusations and controversies against political opponents, to have always maintained a polite and respectful tone and to have contributed to making Italy one of the most important economic and political players at European and global level. We unite, so, to the prayer of suffrage for him and in closeness to his family.

NEW DESTINATION AND MINISTRY FOR OUR EDITOR FATHER IVAN LIGUORI

The Provincial Minister of the Capuchins of Sardinia has asked Father Ivano to accept a new assignment, however very delicate, as formator at the Convent of Sanluri where the house is located where aspirants to religious life are welcomed for their vocational discernment.

.
Our Capuchin editor Ivano Liguori is a cornerstone of our magazine, his precious collaboration began six years ago, at the time in which he carried out the ministry of chaplain at the Brotzu Hospital, large hospital in Cagliari, where years later he is always remembered together with his brother Giancarlo Pinna by the medical and paramedical staff, by former patients and their families who occasionally continue to send messages of esteem and gratitude to our editorial staff in his memory.
.
Great expert in health pastoral care and young man endowed with a rare humanity based on a solid faith and equally solid doctrine, Father Ivano knew how to see, in nine years of delicate hospital service, the suffering Christ in the sick (cf.. Mt 25, 35-44).
.
.
In September 2019 is sent to Laconi, in the province of Oristano, as guardian and parish priest at the convent with adjoining parish cared for by the Capuchin Friars Minor in the town of origin of Ignatius of Laconi, in a situation that is not exactly easy and with several problems to heal. From the beginning he dedicated himself with great dedication to the care of souls, taking care of the decorum of the sacred liturgy, always available with the confreres for confessions and spiritual directions, offering important formation meetings and cycles of catechesis, several of which are also published in video on these columns in the column Breakfast with Cappuccino, including a series of catecheses dedicated to the Sacrament of Penance, the confession. In the meantime he dedicated himself to his publicist activity on our magazine, that without him it would not be what it is today, signing over 100 articles of great breadth and profound pastoral and doctrinal depth, while giving the press two books: From the From Prozan to Prozac (2021) e The sign of Cain (2021).
.
.
Before leaving Laconi administered Holy Baptism to a beautiful little girl from 10 year old, visible sign of the fruits produced by his four years of pastoral activity carried out in that town.
.
.
The Provincial Minister of the Capuchins of Sardinia asked Father Ivano to accept a new assignment, however very delicate, as formator at the Convent of Sanluri where the house is located where aspirants to religious life are welcomed for their vocational discernment.
.
.
Also Father Giancarlo Pinna, with whom he shared many years of ministry at the large hospital in Cagliari and that in September 2019 it was also transferred to Laconi, leave that location, but not alone. In fact, the two brothers arrived in Laconi, taking with them the new convent Tac, the cat who for years lived in the chaplains' lodgings and who today lives serenely and happily in that religious house. This time Father Giancarlo will bring to his new destination a dachshund as affectionate as pimp.
.
.
In charge of taking care of the retirement home of Oristano where the sick Franciscan Tertiaries live, Father Giancarlo will arrive with the most therapeutic that can exist in that context for elderly and sick people: a ruffian dachshund. Ancient and pure Franciscan pedagogy.
