Cases of suicide in priests? You have the courage to search for its causes in the bishops who have neglected their clergy to chase poor people, Migrants and … Cardinal porpores

A priest who suicide is a failure of the visible church and the entire presbytery to which it belongs, but above all of his own bishop, that as of practice will affirm everything and its exact opposite in front of such a tragic event, in order not to ask the most obvious and Christian question that in these cases should be asked: where we were wrong, If anything, we were wrong?

The suicide of a priest (service of Future WHO) It is something that is inaenarble as difficult to explain. I didn't know Matteo Balzano, Trentacinque years of age, presbyter of the diocese of Novara, last in order as a series to commit suicide, but I also feel deep pain.

With statistical data in hand, We can say that the cases of suicide of the priests have been increasing during the previous twelve years of pontificate? We can say that the predecessor of the reigning pontiff has not limited himself to reproach us priests, having repeatedly gave us in the face of the world, With the newspapers of the international claims who enjoyed hearing us indicate from his Augustus lips today "sad faces" tomorrow "Zitelloni"? Or perhaps we want to forget when on the one hand it was interviewed by the Pretino trendy Marco Pozza dressed with the jeans Dicillato and the cheeky gym shoe, on the other he literally showed the priests who - none other! - they dared to wear the tale?

There are numerous confreres who assist, or as spiritual director or as a confessor, I know how difficult their relationships are often with certain bishops. Especially how many times, for imperative of conscience, I turned worried to several presules, indicating that their priest was falling into depression, or that had now fallen there. The responses varied from "go to the psychologist" to the threatening marker: «You want to teach me to be a bishop?». After that, The heroics themselves presules were torn their hearts from pulpites for the poor and migrants, For migrants and the poor … and some of them, Among the best in the art of Ruffianism, We also saw him a cardinal on the merits of the poor and the migrant.

A priest who suicide It is a failure of the visible church and the entire presbytery to which it belongs, especially of his own bishop, that as of practice will affirm everything and its exact opposite in the face of such a tragedy, in order not to ask the most obvious and Christian question that in these cases should be asked: where we were wrong, If anything, we were wrong? In fact, it should not be forgotten that the Father and the Son can also make mistakes to make the Holy Spirit proceed, But some bishops no, they are not wrong, May!
