In the diverse digital zoo a singular creature lives: Marco Perfetti, known as Mr. I can not remain silent. A character who proclaims himself an expert on Vatican matters and a champion of the truth, while he spends his days insulting the members of the Communications Department, accused of every worst atrocity; to publish confidential documents illicitly stolen from who knows which desks of the Vicariate of Rome, without being able to make use of either the right to report or the protection of sources; to insult seasoned professional journalists, to the point of publicly mocking their physical form; to target the President of the Governorate of the Vatican City State, publishing on social a photograph manipulated into appearing like a domestic servant; to confer the title of "hags" on bishops and cardinals and so on...

He recently took it out on the theologian Andrea Grillo (see video WHO), with which one might even completely disagree, with respect to some of his positions taken, for example in the matter of sacred orders to be conferred on women, but who deserves the respect due to a prepared person of undoubted culture, as well as being a truly gifted teacher for teaching.

Perfetti likes to boast that "no one has ever sued him", therefore what I say is right. Of course: it is difficult to waste time and money on legal expenses with those who first of all have nothing to lose in terms of assets and who, for intellectual depth and emotional maturity, remembers a child playing with matches in the kindergarten playroom. It's best to keep an eye on it for safety, undoubtedly, but certainly not to seriously argue with him.

A few months ago Mr. Silere had the brilliant idea of ​​asking the Rome Police Headquarters for my warning for having responded to his usual aggressions disguised as digital moralism. I was summoned and informed of the request made, to which I responded by filing a defense statement which precisely reconstructs the facts, character's circumstances and method.

Now, whereas Mr. To be silent he did not hesitate to publish confidential documents illegally removed from the curia offices by some of his associates, I find it legitimate to publish my memoir, which contains no stolen documents, but only verifiable facts, together with a public document available online: the ruling of the Court of Cassation that in 2022 rejected for the third time an appeal by Perfetti himself against his parents, sued by him and dragged to the courts, dove Mr. Silere lost in all three levels of judgment.

This is the profile of the digital moralizer which claims free license to insult while claiming to warn anyone who dares deny it.

If after reading someone would ask themselves why a priest and a theologian should waste time responding to such a character, the answer is simple: for the same reason why you put a mosquito net in the summer. Not because the mosquito is important, but because its buzz becomes annoying.

REFERENCE

AT THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS IN ROME

PREMISE

.

The day 17 September 2025 the Judicial Police of the Rome Police Headquarters notified the undersigned Stefano Ariel Levi from Gualdo, Catholic priest, resident in Rome in via XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, a request for a warning at the request of Mr. Marco Perfetti, to which we reply hereby:

DEFENSIVE MEMORY

Mr. Perfect, through his blog I can not remain silent, he repeatedly insulted high prelates, prefects of dicasteries of the Holy See, lay people serving in the Roman Curia, diocesan bishops and various priests who, like myself, they have repeatedly publicly denied or rebuked him. My responses have always been formulated without resorting to personal insults, but exercising the legitimate right of criticism, sometimes with strong replies, other times ironic, but always within the limits of what is permitted and respect for the person or opponent.

Mr. Perfect, also in light of the request for a warning made towards me, instead he seems convinced that he possesses a sort of license to insult - sometimes even violent and repeated - perhaps feeling immune from any criticism and going so far as to present himself as a victim every time someone dares to contradict him.

ON ALLEGATIONS OF VERBAL OFFENSES

Mr. Perfetti complains that I called him a "poisonous slimeball", "annoying subject", "poisonous speck".

Let's clarify: single words or phrases cannot be extrapolated from articulated polemical contexts, born following his attacks on people and institutions of the Church and certainly not due to my provocation. In fact, it is within these contexts that some of my replies have been made with an understandably critical tone.

THE EXTRAPOLATION OF WORDS

Extrapolate words from their contexts can lead to major problems and, wanting, in certain cases, also great intellectual dishonesty.

Exhaustive example: in the Old Testament Psalm n. 52 recital: «The fool thinks: “God does not exist”». It is a short phrase but full of meaning that is articulated within a precise and complex historical-narrative text. However, if we proceed with a "wild" extrapolation we could say that the Bible is a text that promotes atheism, given that it is stated in it: «God does not exist».

The total alteration of the text, distorted and distorted, it is therefore evident. This is an example with which we intended to clarify that what Mr. Perfetti complains is the result of obvious extrapolations.

THE CONTINUOUS ATTACKS ON CARDINAL MAURO GAMBETTI

the Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, Archpriest of the Papal Basilica of St. Peter, he is one of several eminent figures publicly pilloried by the articles of I can not remain silent. The articles published against him over the last two years amount to 67, all gathered under his name, as per the reference below:

In these 67 articles the Cardinal is labeled a "liar", "incompetent and incompetent", guilty - according to him - of having hired "friends without art or role" in the Papal Basilica, of having transformed it "into a money-making machine" for the benefit of his coteries. The entire collection of articles can be found at this link:

👉 https://www.silerenonpossum.com/it/tag/mauro-gambetti/

The articles that can be viewed which constitute clear evidence of Mr.'s way of expressing himself. There are dozens of perfect ones, for this reason I limit myself to citing one as a sample, where the Cardinal is publicly accused of being "a liar" who "commits spiritual and conscience abuses":

👉HTTPS://www.silerenonpossum.com/it/lebugiedimaurogambetti-odcastefalsenarrazioni/

Clarification needed: those who are not familiar with our ecclesiastical circles may be unaware that abusing consciences is one of the worst accusations that can be made against an ecclesiastic, because among the sERIOUS oFFENSES (the serious crimes contained in the Code of Canon Law) worse than abuse of conscience are only public apostasy from the faith and the terrible crime of pedophilia.

THE CONTINUOUS AND VIOLENT ATTACKS ON THE DEPARTMENT FOR COMMUNICATIONS

Another Holy See institution targeted by Mr. Perfect is the Dicastery for Communications, directed by Dr. Paolo Ruffini (Prefect), by Dr. Andrea Tornielli (Director of Vatican Media), by Dr. Matteo Bruni (Director of the Vatican Press Office and official spokesperson of the Supreme Pontiff), all indicated, two years now, by Mr. Perfect, as "illiterate", "Incapaci", «ignorant», «incompetent», «highly paid to do damage». In a separate folder I attach a collection of 25 articles, particularly aggressive, published on I can not remain silent in order to clarify and provide evidence to the competent authority in charge of the objective levels of verbal violence with which Mr. Perfetti attacked, insulted and publicly mocked these people responsible for running the Communications Department, to the point of combining their names with references to mafia associations, corruption and illicit favouritism.

THE VILLAGED DOMICILIATION IN THE VATICAN

On his social channels, Mr. Perfetti indicates lo as domiciliation Vatican City State.

Consider the excellent institutional relations between the Italian law enforcement forces and those of the Vatican City State, I suppose that a simple phone call to this Police Headquarters would be enough Command of the Vatican Gendarmerie to ascertain that Mr. Perfect, far from being domiciled in the Vatican with his own blog and social media, he cannot even enter within his territory, because declared unwelcome person following the insults that he has continuously published for years towards people and institutions of the Holy See.

From the stabs of Mr. Perfect few were saved, Among those targeted, there was also no shortage of soldiers from the Vatican Gendarmerie, they were also accused of being professionally incapable and incompetent, as can be seen from this article:

👉https://silerenonpossum.com/it/shock-in-vaticano-chi-e-entrato-nello-stato-senza-autorizzazione/

Added to this is the fact that in numerous of his videos released online Mr. Perfect — that, as explained, it cannot even come close to the Vatican territory – he begins by stating: «because here in the Vatican… we in the Vatican…», thus boasting to simple and uninformed people that they have internal contacts and institutional knowledge at the highest levels.

The videos mentioned here can be viewed at this link:

THE FALSE ACCUSATION OF HAVING MADE HIS DOMICILE OF RESIDENCE PUBLIC

To the accusation made against me of having published Mr.'s domicile and residence address on the Facebook platform. Perfect, I reply and firmly deny: I don't know where he lives, nor have I ever been interested in knowing.

However, I am aware that several lawyers have had difficulty finding it, having received an assignment to proceed with complaints against him, including several journalists, among which I mention XXXXXXXXXXXXX, Vatican correspondent of XXXXXXXXXXX, followed by various other colleagues.

Also confidentially, I was also told by some directly interested parties that recently, the lawyer's office. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX has received a mandate to proceed with a complaint against him. However, as has already happened to other law firms previously, he also had difficulty getting the documents served because Mr. Perfect is not available.

This led several lawyers to contact the competent offices with a reasoned request to find his address, where - again according to what was reported by those directly involved - not even a private home was found, but a series of warehouses and the headquarters of a Tax Assistance Centre (CAF).

I am aware of everything because two lawyers, having read some of my denial articles about false and biased news spread by Mr. Perfect, they contacted me to ask if I knew where he lived. I replied that I had no idea where in Italy he lived, much less at what address.

How much Mr. Perfetti complains about the dissemination of his address by me and therefore a falsehood which is then accompanied by the accusation of victimization according to which, because of me, he would even have to "change his lifestyle habits" (!).

Added to his proven unavailability for the notification of judicial documents is the fact that, in the blog I can not remain silent, is indicated via Scalia 10/B (Rome) as the "headquarters" of the "editorial team". Even in this case, however, there is no editorial office or blog headquarters at that address.

THE FALSE ACCUSATION OF BELONGING TO A “HOMOSEXUALIST LOBBY”

Mr. Perfetti complains that I would have accused him of "belonging to a homosexualist lobby".

A clear and necessary premise: the trends, Mr.'s sexual habits and preferences. Perfect (or anyone else) fall within the full and legitimate exercise of personal freedoms, if necessary also protected by law.

This doesn't take away, however, that - as a priest and theologian - he can express, with full legitimacy, of deep reservations regarding the total inappropriateness of admitting people with deep-rooted homosexual tendencies to the priesthood. These are not personal opinions, but of a principle sanctioned by Catholic doctrine and reiterated in official Church documents.

The reason is clear: the ecclesiastical environment is an entirely male context and for those who freely vow celibacy and chastity, the admission of subjects with homosexual inclinations represents an unsuitable situation neither to the priestly state nor to those who share its community life. In other words: excluding homosexuals from the priesthood means protecting the homosexual himself first and foremost.

I have never attacked individual homosexuals nor discriminated against the so-called LGBT communities. If anything I addressed political criticism, legitimate and motivated, to certain associations that intend to impose their cultural and legislative agenda.

In this regard I remember that I am the author of a book written “co-authored” with the Capuchin theologian Father Ivano Liguori, in which we contested the bill proposed by the Hon. Alessandro Zan regarding homotransphobia. In that text, we noted the serious risk of turning the right to opinion and criticism into a crime; a risk that was also forcefully denounced by authoritative openly homosexual personalities, like the Senator Tommaso Cerno, former national president of Arcigay and today journalist and editor-in-chief of Time.

As for the issue of “private life”, I have repeatedly denied Mr. Perfect, who in his articles and videos stated that any homosexual tendencies of candidates for the priesthood or priests already ordained would only concern their private sphere and would not be questionable.

To refute this misleading thesis, I'll use a clear example: even a magistrate has a private life and has the right to have it, but he certainly couldn't sentence a dangerous mafioso to maximum security prison morning and evening, in his “private life”, go to dinner with Camorra clan leaders. The same principle applies to the priest: he never ceases to be so, neither in the public nor in the private sector, nor can he live in contradiction to his own clerical status, both in the public and private sectors.

Every time I recalled this elementary ecclesial and moral principle, Mr.. Perfetti tried to turn the question around, insinuating accusations of “gender discrimination” Do mtake comparisons.

THE PROBLEM OF HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE CASE OF FATHER AMEDEO CENCINI

Mr. Perfect he is no stranger to concocting artificial events, aimed at hitting people he doesn't like. To do it, often, uses particularly sensitive and delicate topics today, such as the issue of homosexuality or gender diversity.

An emblematic case is that of Father Amedeo Cencini, priest of the Canossian Congregation and esteemed specialist in psychology, trainer and author of numerous essays of theological and pastoral relevance. The 23 March 2021 Mr.. Perfetti forwarded one formal reporting to the Order of Psychologists of Veneto, contesting some of the priest's articles and conferences which he deemed "offensive to homosexuals".

The Supervisory Commission of the Regional Order, following the established procedures, opened the file, listened to the parties and summoned both the accusing party (Perfect) is the accused (Cencini). At the end of the investigation, in data 18 July 2021, pronounced this sentence: "There were no hypotheses of violation of the code of ethics". The proceeding was therefore definitively closed on 22 November 2021.

The episode received coverage in the press and a well-known Catholic weekly reported on the story, underlining how the accusation had been judged inconsistent and unfounded. The same article also reported Mr.'s reaction. Perfect, that, seeing himself blamed, he went so far as to say:

«Italy is a Republic that does not know what justice is […] a country that basically makes you laugh".

👉 https://www.settimananews.it/vita-consacrata/fra-critica-insulto-silere-non-possum/

This statement, eloquent in itself, once again confirms his constant attitude: when he doesn't get it right, uses inappropriate and delegitimizing tones towards individual people, the institutions, the judiciary, professional bodies, ecclesiastical bodies and so on.

there, so, the recurring model: reckless and specious accusations, spent largely on sensitive topics (homosexuality, abuse of conscience, etc.), which then result in archiving, but after causing stress, damage to the image and waste of time of the people targeted.

A PROBLEM PERSONALITY WHO SUE HIS PARENTS TO COURT

The obvious behavioral and character problems One part. Perfetti are clearly confirmed by a ruling from the Supreme Court of Cassation, the n. 23132/2022 the 28 June 2022.

In fact, from reading the motivation in its entirety, one thing emerges: clear and unequivocal picture of his highly litigious nature. Mr. In fact, Perfetti went so far as to sue his own parents, dragging them into a civil trial in which he obtained an unfavorable outcome already at first instance. I don't pay, he appealed: even at second instance the judges confirmed the unfoundedness of his claim. A quel point, despite two rulings to the contrary, appealed to the Supreme Court, where what had already been established in the two merit judgments was reiterated and fully confirmed in the legitimacy judgment.

The end result is that Mr. Perfect lost in all three levels of judgment, thus revealing the recklessness of the lawsuit brought against their own parents.

This ruling is not a confidential document, on the contrary it is a public act freely available online. Simply type «Marco Perfetti complaints» on the Google search engine, where this link appears among the various entries:

Clicking on the link opens the PDF document containing the complete reasoning for the sentence, with the appellant's name and surname clearly legible on the search engine, as in the photographic image of the Google page reproduced here.

👉https://giuridica.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Cassazione-civile-23132-2022-mantenimento-figlio-maggiorenne-seminario.pdf

If Mr. Perfetti should consider its right to privacy violated or otherwise, you can always contact Google directly and ask for the document to be removed or obscured. However, it cannot be attributed to the undersigned the responsibility of referring between these lines to what is in the public domain and available to anyone online.

This procedural matter, which sees a child take his parents to the last stage of judgment and then always emerge defeated, is indicative of level of personal conflict which characterizes Mr. Perfect and which is also reflected in his relationships with other individuals and institutions.

THE BLOG "I CAN'T BE SILENT": THE TRIUMPH OF ANONYMITY AND THE CASE OF THE DIOCESE OF ASCOLI PICENO

In light of what has been documented so far, appears as evident as the blog I can not remain silent, managed by Mr. Perfect, represent a poisoned and poisoning communicative place. What distinguishes it is not just the violent tone, offensive and defamatory, but also aparticularly significant aggravating circumstance: the systematic publication of anonymous articles.

Your tale blog, indeed, write subjects who they don't have the courage to expose themselves with their name and surname, thus escaping personal responsibility for what they declare and spread. This Modus Operandi it is all the more serious as anonymous accusations and attacks are often directed at people and ecclesiastical institutions, with the clear intention of delegitimizing them without the accuser assuming any public responsibility.

This is not just my opinion: also there Episcopal Curia of the Diocese of Ascoli Piceno has deemed it necessary to intervene recently to protect its Bishop, S. AND. Mons. Giampiero Palmieri, repeatedly the target of attacks on the blog I can not remain silent, regarding which the Curia complains in unequivocal words in an official note:

«[…] a news blog not even registered as a newspaper that mainly writes gossip, also ecclesiastical, to feed his bubble of readers. We remind you that in this blog many articles do not contain the name of the person writing the pieces... and therefore, objectively, it doesn't come out".

The entire text of the note can be consulted at the following address:

👉https://www.diocesiascoli.it/la-posizione-della-diocesi-sulla-questione-di-cronache-picene/

This official position confirms that not just individual people, but even entire ecclesiastical institutions were forced to publicly denounce the unreliability and irresponsibility of the blog directed by Mr.. Perfect, underlining how it feeds on gossip and anonymous accusations, very far from the criteria of correct and serious information.

THE MANAGER OF AN ANONYMOUS BLOG ASKS TO WARN AN EDITOR RESPONSIBLE FOR A REGULARLY REGISTERED MAGAZINE

Contrary to Mr. Perfect, manager of a gossip blog with a clerical flavor based on anonymous articles and devoid of any legal recognition, the undersigned may qualify as editor in chief of a magazine for all legal purposes, being registered as such with the Order of Journalists of Lazio and paying the required annual taxes.

The magazine The Island of Patmos, founded by me in 2014 together with the theologians and priests Antonio Livi and Giovanni Cavalcoli, is now made up of an editorial staff of eight priests, all fully identifiable, who sign their articles with their name and surname. Each editor is also publicly presented on the official page of the magazine, where biographical notes and curricula are available.

The magazine is duly registered both in the Press Register of the Court of Rome and in the Register of specialized magazines of the Order of Journalists. This implies that, in addition to carrying out the journalistic activity in accordance with the law, as the responsible director I can appeal to the right to the press, at the source protection and to all those guarantees provided by the legal system for an officially recognized newspaper.

None of this can however be attributed to a blog like I can not remain silent, which is neither a registered newspaper nor does it have a responsible editor. Nevertheless, under the heading “who we are”, Mr.. Perfetti presents it in these terms:

👉 https://silerenonpossum.com/it/chi-siamo/

These self-congratulatory statements fly in the face of the evidence: a blog run by an individual, populated by anonymous authors and devoid of legal recognition cannot in any way boast the credibility and protections that belong to registered newspapers.

In this sense,, the paradox is evident: a managing director registered with the Order of Journalists is subjected to a request for a warning from Mr. Perfect, responsible for a blog that hurls constant insults at anyone through the dissemination of writings published anonymously and which through them continues to spread defamatory content without those responsible assuming the slightest public or legal responsibility, while stating «in a context in which journalism risks losing credibility».

Conclusions

I conclude this paper by recalling a historical-political fact. During the twenty years of fascism, a socio-pedagogical technique was adopted, summarized by the well-known phrase: "Hit one to educate a hundred", sometimes paraphrased even more harshly: «Scare one to silence a hundred».

I fear that this is the probable true motive of yet another action undertaken by Mr. Perfect: attempt to attack a publicly exposed person - a priest and an editor in chief of a newspaper - to intimidate and discourage others from opposing his polemical and aggressive style.

But today, thanks to our greats Founding Fathers, we are citizens and associates of Italian Republic, a rule of law based on democratic principles, where similar logics do not and cannot have citizenship.

For this reason I firmly reject the unfounded accusations made against me, demonstrating - with the documents and evidence attached - the systematic nature of the defamatory action conducted by Mr. Perfect. What is asked here is not a personal privilege, but the protection of the principle of truth and justice which must guide the actions of anyone exercising freedom of expression, especially if this freedom is intertwined with the duty of correct information.

I therefore remain at the disposal of the competent Authority, trusting that the assessments are carried out not in light of false accusations, or extrapolated and distorted, but of the objective and documented facts presented here.
