«YOU WANT TO GO TOO?». BETWEEN EUTHANASIA AND INFLUENCE, THOUGHTS SPREAD AROUND THE CHARIS, TO THE THEOLOGY OF POVERTY AND THE OBEDIENCE OF THE FAITH THAT BUILDS THE CHURCH

It is evident that if I distribute only earthly food, maybe I'll be able to fill the poor man's stomach, but I will leave his heart and soul empty. If I think only of the horizontal dimension neglecting the vertical one, risk of creating dangerous artificial havens that find in some social ideas - we think of citizenship income - the demagogic claim to solve all problems well and to please everyone.

… the modern men of science in charge of directing the consciences of others

On the Sunday just passed I commented on a beautiful passage from the Holy Gospel in my homily [cf.. GV 6, 60-69]. As I normally do at every Sunday celebration, I frame the Gospel passage not only from an exegetical point of view but above all from an ecclesiological and pastoral point of view, letting the cursive reading of the Sunday Gospel speak to the faithful with the strength and incisiveness of the sword [See. EB 4, 12], at the same time avoiding an overly technical reading of the text that only a very few would be able to understand.

.

The Gospel of John of the Sunday just passed appears as the conclusion of the long discourse on the Bread of Life in which Christ clearly and definitively shows the truth about himself. It is in fact a great one theophany in a Eucharistic key, in which, starting from the sign of the shared bread, Jesus presents himself as the true heavenly manna that is incarnated from heaven into human existence. He was born in Bethlehem, in that place which means House of Bread, it feeds mortal man in his search for God concealed, making himself bread.

.

A revealing moment of Christ's identity, that, as I said, it is preceded by the necessary sign of multiplication (sharing) of loaves [See. GV 6, 1-15]. This sign is fundamental to understand that Jesus is really the true Lord who feeds his people on the earthly pilgrimage and not one of the many powerful on earth who seeks a personal gain of glory. [See. GV 6, 15]. He guides the new people of the Covenant no longer from Egypt to the Promised Land but from sin to the new covenant in his blood which is realized through the Easter events.

.

This is why the Eucharistic sign of shared bread it becomes essential to understand divine pedagogy and the way in which God works salvation. Jesus, although he is the Lord and the Master [See. GV 13, 14], she never deprives herself of the collaboration of man by constantly questioning him within a salvific dialogue in which the creature offers to the Creator her own littleness fruit of her work so that this in God may multiply and become a paschal sign of salvation for other brothers within a logic of charitable service.

.

Reason why the diaconate of the Charis in the Church it is mainly a Trinitarian mystery that allows us to contemplate the Lover, the one who is Beloved and Love to use the words of St.. Augustine refer to the mystery of God the Trinity. But at the same time it is a soteriological mystery, as the Charis it is the divine plan which took its form in Jesus Christ the Savior and which finds its genesis in the Trinity as an eternal story of love for man (See. M. Rinaldi, From the welfare state to the welfare society. Social theology and pastoral action of Italian Caritas, Effatà, 2006, p.70].

.

From these necessary theological prerogatives, we understand how the exercise of Charis, it absolutely cannot be configured as a humanitarian service or sentimental philanthropism. Even when it is man who operates the Charis towards a similar one we can also see Amante's tripartite Augustinian relationship, Beloved and Love. The lover is the one who acts pushed by the Father towards the beloved in whom the Son identifies himself, within the loving dynamic of the Holy Spirit.

.

The Charis Christian is necessary because it is there ratio with which from the man's body one reaches his soul so that soul and body together are saved in that harmonious anthropological unity that we see professed every Sunday in the Creed when we say: "I await the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come". That is, I await the resurrection of man in his totality, not just a part of him. What we already see realized in the Blessed Virgin Mary assumed into heaven in body and soul.

.

For this reason, if it is true that the poor need to be fed on earth, such a requirement cannot make the believer fall into the pretext utopia that claims to defeat poverty once and for all; equalize the scandalous social disparities; eradicate the relentless diseases; pacify the peoples with an indiscriminate welcome; averting the ignorance of the little ones with partial truths. little ones with partial truths.

.

Although today we are used to populist slogans such as "no one will be left behind" that we find abundantly on the lips of politicians as well as prelates. We must have the courage to affirm that all this is just a mirage of self-constructed salvation whose cultural and social consequences are well known and evident to all., especially in a period like the one we are going through burdened by the pandemic.

.

About this it would be enough to recall the words of Jesus who admonishes us: «You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me " [Mt 26, 11] an expression that certainly points towards a preferential option for the poor but, much more, defines a very clear hierarchy of values ​​that leads us to understand that without him, true God and true man, we are too poor to help the poor and unable to offer definitive salvation. And this truth today appears rather annoying and poorly digested by the human narcissism that wants to operate without God, even when it claims to do good.

.

This discourse allows us to formulate a correct theological approach to poverty which has nothing to do with the revolutionary pauperism so dear to a certain leftist thought or comparable to the popular social demands of the South American liberation regimes, nor to that pretext pauperism of which Judas Iscariot himself spoke, about which we refer to our video lesson: The gold of the Magi and the false love for the poor of Judas Iscariot.

.

Much less can we approach it with blunders social the various influence who harangue the people of followers maintaining a standard of living that is light years away from evangelical sobriety and that does not come close to that dignified poverty of the average Italian worker or pensioner.

.

If we want to be honest, this theological approach has nothing to do with the various models that impose themselves on public opinion and see, in the various saviors of the people, put well in the foreground by mainstream, the beginning of a new renaissance and secular humanism. Because it remains evident, in all this theological reasoning, the graft with the purest Christology in which the kenosis of the Word constitutes the visible and most eloquent self-denial through which we can find "that God who made himself poor for us, to enrich ourselves through his poverty " [See. 2Color 8, 9; Benedict XVI, Speech at the inaugural session of the 5th General Conference of the Latin American and Caribbean Bishops, 13 May 2007, 3: AAS 99 (2007), 450]. If Christ strips himself of his equality with God to save me, to accept this salvation I can only do the same, just as Francis of Assisi did before the bishop [See. Franciscan Sources n ° 1043].

.

To any poor person and in the face of any poverty, more than the food that perishes, food that does not perish but lasts for eternal life must be guaranteed [See. GV 6, 22-29]. This does not mean giving side to easy integralist proselytism, quite the opposite, it is a missionary proclamation of salvation that calls every man of good will to action, be it secular or consecrated, to announce all that Christ has told and commanded us [See. Mt 28, 20]. Preaching Christ is not a boast, not even a duty but an urgent necessity [See. 1Color 9, 16].

.

It is evident that if I distribute only earthly food, maybe I'll be able to fill the poor man's stomach, but I will leave his heart and soul empty. If I think only of the horizontal dimension neglecting the vertical one, risk of creating dangerous artificial havens that find in some social ideas - we think of citizenship income - the demagogic claim to solve all problems well and to please everyone.

.

"Get busy" [cf.. GV 6, 27] says Jesus, but to do so it is necessary to go out on a mission with his authority, following the example of those seventy-two disciples who, invested with all power, they returned home full of joy [cf.. LC 10, 17] having noted firsthand that when the revelation of Christ reaches the poorest and the least [cf.. LC 10, 21] the Kingdom of Heaven is established with power. «Get busy» Jesus says again, but only after having made a decisive and privileged choice that gives Christ the primacy over our life. Jesus is the breaking point between the truth of God and the illusion of the truth of the world and whoever does not know and recognize this truth is doomed to scandal, to confusion, to escape even within the communities of believers in which one can be alone and only following the demands that Christ dictates.

.

This is why it appears urgent and necessary to reflect as a Church on that question that Christ poses to his disciples and to operate a serene discernment. «You want to leave too?» [See. GV 6, 67], question that sounds like a warning to the obedience of the faith that cannot find substitutes or surrogates in other people or ideals.

.

How many baptized Christians today have the thought of Christ and the Church and profess filial obedience? Few, indeed very few. Syndicalist priests are in fashion, psychologists and social workers. I cardinals electricians and LGBT friendly, lay people intent on social claims, ecclesial groups with party cards, those who fight on social networks for free and tolerant love, for the most humane and liberating euthanasia. Those who still, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, orphans of Sol of the future, they returned to the Catholic home through the window and are now being pointed out as adult Christians and teachers. In the end, there are those who in the name of tradition, strong of the Mass of all time and of the of the Latins, adorned with veils of lace, lace and lace would also be ready to dismiss a Pope in the name of their fidelity to the Church. In short, a difficult to manage situation that many parish priests know but that they are unable to contrast and reclaim because the Vaffa-day it is not just the prerogative of grilline squares but also of those Catholics who on the first occasion send the priest to that country, guilty of having tried to announce the harsh word of Christ which refuses compromises and imposes a choice.

.

Sad to say, this kind of Catholic will never give way to Christ and his Church because they were unable to profess the words of the blessed apostle Peter «Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life and we believe and know that you are the Holy One of God " [See. GV 6, 68-69]. Much better it would be for them to recognize the beating of the heart and go there, where this leads them, leaving the Church and the Gospel in good order in favor of those who really wish to know and believe in Jesus but who are prevented from doing so by these sad figures.

.

Indeed, if as Christians the principle for discernment is not Christ but the parliamentary principle of the majority will never establish the Kingdom of Heaven. If the demands of the world are more attractive than those of the Gospel, the value of obedience and faith will never be understood. It's still, if the word of the Magisterium is decidedly less influential than that of the various Ferragnez, Saviano, Fazio, Zan and the various gurus who appear before us every day is vain the hope of expecting a serious laity who knows how to enter the folds of the world by announcing the newness of the Word..

FROM GINO STRADA TO THE INSIDIOUS AND NEBULOUS ROAD OF KARL RAHNER ABOUT THE THEORY OF "ANONYMOUS CHRISTIANS"

the concept of "anonymous Christians" is bankrupt and can serve as an alibi, ie as a warm blanket, but nothing more. I would rather review, as worthy of theological study the concept of San Giustino del Sperm logos, the seeds of truth that can also be found in other religions and cultures but which always have their reason for being in Christ and prepare for a journey of knowledge of him in faith.

emotional beatification a “hot corpse”

captain come back that our own readers inspire us articles through their questions. This happened recently through the question posted by a Reader to the article I dedicated to the death of Doctor Gino Strada.

.

Dear Fathers.

While admitting that he does not fully know the events and history of Gino Strada, I wanted to ask: he could not be included in that group of "anonymous Christians" theorized by Karl Rahner? Said in other terms, the famous Gospel passage of «I was hungry, and you fed me ". It assumes who is feeding, to drink, etc. must necessarily have faith in Christ? I understand that it is a complex and controversial issue, however, in my humble opinion, Rahner's intuition about anonymous Christians is not entirely to be rejected. Otherwise it should be concluded that doing good, do good, is the exclusive prerogative of believers, but we all know that's not the case. I know believers (at least, so they define themselves) all rosaries and Holy Masses, but totally devoid of fraternal charity. To quote the Gospel: "Not who says: man! man! He will enter the Kingdom of Heaven ".

Andrea

.

This question it offers me the opportunity to clarify the matter even better. First of all, "anonymous Christianity" is Karl Rahner's theorization of a concept of grace that is dangerously close to relativism. It is a belief that can make you believe in any spiritual experience, every jolt of emotionality, any philanthropic action, every religious experience hides a mark of Christianity and salvation. In the pastoral experience that we priests see every day, this concept can be translated as follows:

.

«Even if I don't go to Mass, I don't confess, I don't pray, it is enough to do some good work and not hate anyone to be okay ".

.

Or, for those openly atheists, unbelievers or simply confused the question sounds like this:

.

«I do more good than many Christians who judge […] it is not necessary to be a Christian to love one's neighbor and do good […] I respect everyone, I tolerate everyone, I am out of love for everyone and I am more Christian than those who eat wafers ".

.

At the heart of this way of thinking there is an intimate concept of faith, who loves but without compromising, believes but without taking sides, it acts but without taking a position. In the Holy Gospel, instead, we find these words:

.

"God's work is this: believe in him whom he sent " [See. GV 6, 29].

.

This is a position very different that leads you to give Christ the primacy over your entire existence and recognize him as the only Savior [See. Dichiarazione Lord Jesus], as a start, center and goal of our entire humanism, certainly not one among the many placed in the showcase of the gods of the various beliefs, because Christ is the whole, the only way, Truth and the Life [See. GV 14, 6]. Believing and accepting Christ also means acting as he acted as we see in love for the enemy up to the total gift of his own person. The Blessed Apostle Paul says in the Letter to the Romans that:

.

«[…] while we were still sinners, Christ died for the wicked " [See. RM 5,8].

.

Words that are equivalent to saying: Christ loved me when I was still, not lovable but ungodly, separated from God. The test bed, this is it, it is love for the enemy that leads me to sacrifice my life. And it is clear, this is something that can only be done under the grace of the Holy Spirit and with a free and disinterested heart.

.

In my opinion, the concept of "anonymous Christians" is a failure and can serve as an alibi, ie as a warm blanket, but nothing more. I would rather review, as worthy of theological study the concept of San Giustino del Sperm logos, the seeds of truth that can also be found in other religions and cultures but which always have their reason for being in Christ and prepare for a journey of knowledge of him in faith.

.

Very clear on this issue the pastoral constitution of the Second Vatican Council:

.

«[…] the saving action of Jesus Christ, and with His Spirit, if estende, beyond the visible boundaries of the Church, to all mankind. Parlando of mistero pasquale, in which Christ even now associates himself living manner in the Spirit the believer and gives him the hope of the resurrection, the Council states: "This applies not only to Christians but also to all people of good will, in whose hearts grace is active invisibly. For since Christ died for all, and since the ultimate vocation of man is in fact one, the divine one, we must hold that the Holy Spirit offers to all the possibility of coming into contact, in the way that God knows, paschal mystery " [See. The joy and hope, n. 22].

.

The statement Our life?, about non-Christian religions he says:

.

«The Catholic Church rejects nothing of what is true and holy in these religions. It considers those ways of acting and living with sincere respect, those precepts and those doctrines that, although in many points they differ from what it believes and proposes, nevertheless they not infrequently reflect a ray of that truth which enlightens all men. However it announces, and is required to announce, the Christ who is “away, truth and life " [GV 14,6], in which men must find the fullness of religious life and in which God has reconciled all things with himself [See. 2 Color 5,18-19].

.

Although this text is clear, Unfortunately, within the Catholic world there are some fringes that accuse the Council itself of having "open to relativism" (!?). To these custodians of an unspecified "tradition", it would be enough to remember what he wrote, a century ahead, a Supreme Pontiff above any possible suspicion, to be exact, Blessed Pius IX:

.

"To you it is well known that those who invincible ignorance do not know our religion, but they know the natural law and its precepts from God engraved in the hearts of all and are willing to obey God and lead an honest life, these with the help of light and divine grace may attain eternal life; because God, which sees, scrutinizes and knows the minds, tempers, thoughts, the provisions of all, by reason of his supreme goodness and clemency can not possibly allow it to be punished with eternal punishment anyone who is not guilty of a voluntary fault " [Encyclical How much grief conficiamur, 10 August 1863].

.

There is much more to add, but on this subject he wrote in detail and in depth Father Ariel S. Levi di Gualdo in one of his November article 2014, where it first clarifies the concept of ordinary means e extraordinary means of salvation, precisely to dispel certain Rahnerian nebulosity. It deserves to read it.

.

As for the famous Eschatological Discourse which we find in Matthew chapter 25, it consists of three parables that must be read together to understand them otherwise there is a risk of making the sacred text say what it does not mean. The famous passage of judgment [See. Mt 25,31-46] in which those who do not know God are rewarded; but yet, they do works of mercy. In this case the reference is to the pagans, to those to whom the Revelation has not yet been presented, to those who follow a natural morality without asking the problem of God or who ignore him in an innocent way, because they have not received the announcement, therefore they do not know it and therefore do not reject it. Cases like these were numerous in the days of the early Church. Today, this discourse can no longer be posed, as for everyone, Christ was announced and everyone had the opportunity to accept or reject him. If I accept it, I will put to good use the talents received which are of God and which serve so that I know him more and enjoy him fully [See. Mt 25,14-30]; if I refuse it, I do like foolish virgins [See. Mt 25, 1-13] who let their faith sleep and die not recognizing the time when the Bridegroom presented himself to them.

.

These three parables historically refer to three categories of people: the ancient Jews, Christians and pagans. To conclude, good or love is not for believers but heroic love that gives life, yes, otherwise, if this were not the case, the example of St. Maximilian Kolbe would not make sense. He who sacrificed himself for a father of a family who in that Auschwitz concentration camp must have certainly been surrounded by several "anonymous Christians" and good people, but none of them showed up to save him, except one Franciscan friar, who acted for Christ, with Christ and in Christ. And this speaks volumes about the difference between philanthropy and the great charism of charity.

ANTI-COVID VACCINES19. THAT MORAL AND THAT CHRISTIAN CHARITY UNKNOWN TO THOSE TURBULENT "ANTIVAX CATHOLICS" WHO SCREAM ABOUT THE SOCIAL MEDIA AS FISHERMAN AT THE LOCAL MARKET

.

The Catholic has a moral duty to get vaccinated out of a sense of deep responsibility towards mankind, because mankind is his neighbor that he must not only respect and protect, but that he must love as himself. What hard to make blind and obtuse subjects understand that they based their anti-scientific ideology first and foremost on the blatant disregard for the other, whether it is the individual or the entire world scientific community. And similar attitudes, for a Catholic, they are truly and deeply sinful.

intensive care

To this delicate issue Fathers de The Island of Patmos they dedicated the essay: The Church and the coronavirus. The subtitle of the book is emblematic: «Between supercazzole and tests of faith. The apostolate of the Fathers de The Island of Patmos in times of pandemic ", born from the opening reflection in which the Dominican theologian Gabriele Giordano M. Scardocci explains the meaning of super cazzola, term taken by the philosophical lexicon to indicate meaningless turns of words. The reflections of all three follow, including the very precious ones of the Capuchin theologian Ivano Liguori who spent years of his priestly life serving in the great hospital of Cagliari, in daily contact with human life, sickness and death.

.

If before it was appropriate to remember our non-fiction work, which we sincerely recommend reading, now it is necessary to articulate a premise, before opening the actual reflection.

.

The movement of the so-called antivax it has its very virulent adherents even within our Catholic world, although they are Catholics in their own way. In fact, they range from millenarian catastrophists to those convinced of the diabolical immorality of vaccines in which the fetuses of aborted babies have been blended (!?). Those who identify the col vaccine follow mark of the beast which appears in the symbolic and at times hermetic narrative of the Apocalypse of the Blessed Apostle John and others who speak of the imminent final struggle that will see the definitive triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

.

If to these various novax extremists of Catholicism do it yourself explain that the Holy See did not take long to clarify the morality of vaccines by responding first of all to the hoax of the fetuses of aborted babies smoothed inside them [see document of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith], the response of the anti-VAT integralist catto-idiot will not be long in coming: "The Holy See has now lost the authentic values ​​of the Gospel and has submitted to the strong world powers". Then follow the contumelies on the reigning Pontiff by many members of these pseudo-Catholic groups who solve the problem at its root by directly questioning the validity of his election to the sacred throne.. Making up, also in this case, to all the hoaxes that have been circulating for years about the fantastic invalidity of the act of resignation of the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI.

.

Antivaxes who believe they are Catholic they are among all the worst, because they support their bizarre theories with the supernatural, while the secular antivaxes rely on their obvious psychotic disturbances, or on fantasy-conspiracies, without bothering God the Father, the Word of God Incarnate, the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Apocalypse of the Blessed Apostle John.

.

The experience gained in these times of pandemic taught, to me and my fellow editors, that talking to the antivax is useless, because it is closed to reasoning and to the critical sense. All the most logical scientific reasons can be brought forward, which he will always and in any case refuse, supporting absurd theories varying from planetary plots to the non-existence of Covid-19 ironically called “pandemenza”, with no respect for the living who have been saved and for the memory of all those who have died and their families still suffering from the loss of their loved ones.

.

However, the anti-vaccinist has an absurd answer that is always ready: does not deny that there have been several million deaths around the world, denies that they died from Covid-19, because according to him we have no proof. Needless to remind him of the 793 died in a single day on 21 March 2021 and the sad line of military trucks carrying the bodies out of Bergamo where there were no more burial and cremation sites, because the anti-vaccinist has a ready answer for this too: "It has not been proven that they died of Covid-19 because the autopsies were not performed". Faced with a similar response based on granitic illogical and anti-scientific beliefs, it can perhaps be explained that it is not possible to carry out autopsies on the bodies of a similar number of deceased in a moment of unprecedented emergency such as the one we experienced in 2020, with the hospitals exploding and the medical staff at the end of their strength? Or that maybe, rather than saving the lives of the living, autopsies had to be done on the dead? Or that perhaps the memory of doctors over 80 who have returned to service has been lost because, starting with doctors, the medical staff had been knocked out by the virus which had primarily affected doctors and para-doctors? Explaining all this is unfortunately useless, precisely because the antivax has an irrational denial answer ready for anything, while the pseudo-Catholic antivax even more and even worse. The one on the one hand, the others on the other hand, they connect to their trusted conspiracy sites and blogs and drink anything and everything like geese that have been given grains of salt in food.

.

To these subjects impossible to scratch in their radical opinions, I have tried to recount certain sad experiences I had as a priest? Yup, I did it, narrating, for example, that he entered an intensive care unit with all the highest cautions because he was a doctor friend, 52 years of age, was at high risk of mortality. And as a desire, knowing that he is close to death, he asked about me. His colleagues made an exception, for this little man both the place and above all the name of the hospital. I didn't really go inside, but covered in overalls, with mask, gloves and eye visor, I saw him half a meter beyond the glass. From the inside, the nurses pushed the trundle bed up to the glass and one of the two activated the speakerphone of her mobile phone from the inside, I did the same with mine. I smiled at my friend and told him: «You want to ask the almighty and merciful God in your heart for your sins?». He whispered twice: «… and and …". Raising my hand in front of the glass I recited: «Ego, Faculty which the Apostolic See, And I grant remission of sin. In the Name of the Father, and sons, and of the Holy Spirit» (For the faculties conferred on me by the Apostolic See I grant you the remission of all your sins …). While then I started to recite: «During the sacred mysteries of our redemption, almighty God release you pay for all present and future life, may lead to the age-during, and to open the gates of the joys of the garden,». He began to roll his eyes and turn cyanotic. The nurses pushed the bed back into its position and I saw nothing but the backs of the two and three other members of the medical staff who came running.. When after a few minutes they separated from him, one of them turned to me shaking his head. At that point I saw my friend lying on the bed with his eyes upset and his mouth wide open. It was dead, on the other side of the glass, suffocated.

.

I told this episode to some antivax who thrives on conspiracies and who jokes about “pandemenza” of Covid-19? Of course, I did it, but with these results: one answered me stating with great certainty and certainty that this was proven proof that people had been killed with the intubations, because if they hadn't given them artificial ventilation they wouldn't have died. Another replied that those were deaths deliberately caused to create a great socio-political instability and to put us all under control with a carpet vaccination.. I avoid going further with the absurd answers that were given to me, above all, devoid of human respect for the living and the dead. What scientific training these people had? From where they got their granite certainties? Simple, they jump from blog to blog, between conspiracies and anti-scientific theories, without anyone being able to scratch them, that's where they get their security. Have I ever advised them to view the Official site of the Ministry of Health or that of Medicines Agency? Of course yes, but for the antivax the only truths lie in the dangerous declarations of that scoundrel of Stefano Montanari and of that Italian shame of Antonio Pappalardo, who finished from his post as a retired general of the Carabinieri sent to trial for insulting the Head of State. This is the sad moral of the story: it is useless to talk to certain people, invite them to reason or to listen to the opinions of the experts who, far from being infallible, they certainly know more than antivax without any scientific training, because in any case they will continue to feed on buffaloes on social media. Talking to them is therefore a waste of time which involves two different efforts: first the necessary effort is made to get angry, then the necessary effort is made to calm down.

.

The neurotic relationship is interesting of these people when they search the internet, where they find only and exclusively what they want to find in support of their opinions, everything else does not exist. They ruthlessly criticize virologists - it goes without saying without having scientific tools to do so -, accusing them of being servants of the occult powers or on the payroll of the strong ones and needless to say of the pharmaceutical multinationals, but none of these antivaxes have ever read their scientific articles, the statistics reported or listened to their lectures. Antivax has created a closed world from which it supports and shamelessly spreads anti-science, criticizing science with crude anti-scientific methods, all after refusing to read, listen and evaluate the reasons that science brings, because his world ranges precisely between Stefano Montanari and Antonio Pappalardo, the two poisonous subjects I mentioned earlier.

.

Try to reason with an antivax it is like wanting to talk about respect for different religious cultures with an Islamist fundamentalist from Isis. At first it was thought that antivaxes should be treated with empathy, that is to say good-naturedly teased and just as good-naturedly ridiculed to try to induce them to take note of how bizarre and outside any scientific criterion their beliefs were. It was a mistake though, it would have been enough to ask some expert psychiatrist for guidance to take note that the fanatic possessed by political fanaticism, or worse still religious or pseudo-religious, besides not possessing an ironic and humorous vein, he is completely devoid of self-irony. As the only point of reference he has only the convictions that he has formed and about which he does not intend to discuss, except to become violent and aggressive.

.

I use myself as an example remembering that by training I am a dogmatic theologian and a scholar of the history of dogma. It is obvious that for me dogmas are the founding pillars of our faith. But I have never had a problem dealing with people and scholars who consider the dogmas to be pure and simple human inventions., built and then defined by intelligent people, or entire assemblies of intelligent people - starting with the first great Council of Nicaea of ​​the year 325 - in order to keep the system upright the Catholic faith that certain non-believing scholars, an atheist, they consider elaborated at the table. So that Christianity had the success it enjoyed starting from the fourth century thanks to the Emperor Constantine, who in his own way was largely its creator, not just the advocate for purely political interests. In the face of this and more, because I am theologian and many of my confreres who are theological priests, we never had a problem having these exchanges? On the contrary, almost always mutual esteem and also beautiful human friendships between very different people were born, even if some believe and others deny your belief. Everything happened and continued to happen for the simple fact that on both sides there has never been a closed, obtuse and narrow-minded fundamentalist attitude. Antivax, on the other hand, is the paradigm of the closed person, obtuse and narrow-minded who structures her subjective feeling on forms of dangerous psychological integralism.

.

Why us Fathers de The Island of Patmos we immediately got vaccinated our turn has just come? There are two main reasons: the first, because science has indicated the vaccine as the only possible remedy to stem or otherwise limit the effects of the virus. And none of us have scientific knowledge and skills to be able to say that science is wrong, so we followed, as everyone should do, the council of specialists and men of science. The second one, because as pastors in the care of souls and as theologians we have and live internally and externally, in substance and form, a deep sense of responsibility towards mankind. Request: science and men of science, they can make mistakes? Of course, it has happened several times and will happen in the future as well, But, if we really want to grant the benefit of human error, better to grant it to science and to men of science who seek to save human lives, rather than giving certain benefits to arrogant ignoramuses lacking the basic foundations of certain medical sciences. And this is called logic, it's called common sense, that almost absent in ideological antivaxes and unfortunately also in an increasingly consistent slice of the population.

.

If you cannot reason with antivaxes, then how can you interact with them, scientifically established that the only system to reduce damage from Covid-19 is the vaccination of the entire population, whatever they may say? The problem is legal as far as the secular state is concerned, moral regarding our Catholic faith.

.

Let's start with the secular state: we have seen groups of exalted antivaxes shouting «freedom, freedom!»On the streets to claim their" right "to say no to the vaccine. The first question that needs to be asked is the following: for these people, what is freedom? Let's proceed with the examples: by chance we want to indict a couple who decides to have sexual intercourse on a crowded beach or on the bench in a public place for lewd acts in a public place? They do it because they love each other and for this reason they freely decide to make love, it is their right to love each other and make love, or not? How can it exist in the 2021 a system so retrograde and puritanical that it dares to call “obscene acts” the freedom that two people have to love each other? So it is easy to say: the article 527 of the Criminal Code it should not simply be decriminalized, but just abolished as a figure of crime. As you can see, freedom is a concept in which everything can be enclosed, from the right of a couple to copulate in a public place to the absolute and indisputable right of the woman to abort a child, to follow with the equally absolute and indisputable right to practice euthanasia. All those who over time, in various countries of the world, they wanted to transform human life, his own but above all that of others, in an available good, they always did it by shouting two words: "Rights" and "freedoms". Obviously, in our speech, neither abortion nor euthanasia are in question, but health understood as a collective interest. The article 32 of the Constitution of the Italian Republic is very clear:

.

"The Republic protects health as a fundamental right of the individual and as a collective interest, and guarantees free care to the indigent ".

.

In a pandemic situation, people can harm the protection of the health of the community because for their purely irrational reasons, anti-scientific and ideological reject vaccination? The same article 32 however, he continues to specify:

.

«Nobody can be obliged to a specific medical treatment if not by law. The law cannot in any case violate the limits imposed by respect for the human person ".

.

Our Constitution is clear without misunderstanding in indicating that health is a collective good, but that at the same time no one can be forced to a specific health treatment, except in accordance with the law. They are both two fixed and rigid points. And this is precisely the problem: it must be established clearly and precisely that those who refuse vaccination for their purely irrational reasons, anti-scientific and ideological, or even for forms of rooted and invincible ignorance, they can actually cause serious damage to the entire community. However, everything must be proved in a very rigorous way in the relationship of cause and effect, enough to be able to invoke the obligation by virtue of the fact that no liberal country, democratic and truly civil has never conceded that the misunderstood subjective idea of ​​"freedom" can cause serious damage to the entire community. Personally - but my thinking, of course, it is an opinion that leaves the time it finds -, I believe that in the current situation all the legal elements could be used to impose the mandatory vaccination. As I repeat, however, everything must be clarified in the point of law in the most rigorous way possible, thus avoiding giving life, if not, to a dangerous precedent under which the permanence of a terminally ill patient or the birth of a child with Down syndrome can be declared unhealthy tomorrow.

.

Using the good one as an example paterfamilias, we could say that the State is a bit like a parent who, having the duty to protect a very large family, cannot in any way allow some to cause serious harm to all the others. Certainly the State cannot act like that weak and spineless father who tries in every way to persuade an unreasonable and rebellious son not to harm others with a pained smile on his face., especially when this does not consider this a damage but rather the exercise of his free right. One can therefore warn him, twice, but at the third he will exercise his power in a coercive way and will force him to do what he must do in order not to harm everyone else.

.

In a state like ours, mostly formed by politicians hungry for votes like voracious bulimics, ready to forget the Antonio Gramsci, the Palmiro Togliatti and the Enrico Berlinguer who have characterized their glorious past as the Italian Left, to bow to a poor illiterate like that certain Influence Lombard which moves twelve million followers. With, on the other side, a so-called populist Right that measures the menstrual temperature in the uterus of the square to try to understand how to please it and thus increase the electoral consensus in the future, someone sees a state on the horizon that can act with the wisdom of the good paterfamilias?

.

I am truly amazed by our President of the Republic and of all the politicians who invite the novax fringes to a sense of responsibility, because it would be like asking a blind person to read the road signs or a deaf person to appreciate the voice of soprano Maria Callas. This is why I do not understand why the highest office of the state and politicians with common sense waste time uselessly through these exhortations that, as they say, they can have the only effect of making these fringes of people even more irrational. In my humble opinion, decisive legislative action is needed. It is not enough to say that without green pass it will not be possible to enter public places, therefore be subjected to a whole series of limitations. More is needed: it is necessary to establish with a precise and decisive decree law that people opposed to vaccination for ideological-irrational reasons, if they contract the virus in a severe form, they will have to pay all health costs from the first to the last, even because, a sick person admitted to intensive care, it costs the national community of public taxpayers 2.000 euro per day of hospitalization. Such a decision would also be useful to avoid other possible and not at all improbable social injustices, for example that a person to whom it is not possible to administer the vaccine due to his serious and complex diseases, is infected with the antivax which is then hospitalized in intensive care at the expense of the community, while for the patient who could not be given the vaccine there will be no place for hospitalization. Antivax will come out of intensive care and will continue to talk about conspiracies of the strong powers, if anything it will also denounce the doctors who with the excuse of “pandemenza” caused damage to his internal organs, while the patient who could not be given the vaccine will die, because the antivax has stolen his place in intensive care.

.

These irrational ideologues must be asked and demanded consistency, if they contract the virus of “pandemenza”, there should be two solutions: or they treat themselves with their much exalted alternative medicine, with naturopathy, homeopathy and i cocktail of amino acids and vitamins, or else they pay the consequences of their cry of "freedom, freedom!»Paying all hospital expenses. Request: you can, morally, deny treatment and ICU admission to a person who cannot pay for it? I think yes, indeed I believe that it would not only be possible but also opportune and decisive, In this regard, it would be enough to recall how the season of kidnappings in Calabria and Sardinia was put to an end. Blocking assets from the families of the seized and making it impossible to pay the ransoms. Unfortunately, some kidnapped never returned home or even their corpses were found, however, the season of kidnappings ended definitively. Forever, Unfortunately, not only is it lawful, but it is even desirable and opportune to sacrifice a human life in certain particular situations to save a thousand others from the risk of death. I understood this apparently inhuman and cruel principle in the mid-nineties through the story of an elderly Jewish woman, mother of four children, that from the attic where she was hiding with the other three children she saw her eldest teenage son in the street, released for supplies - because being a teenager aroused less suspicion - captured by the S.S. in the winter of 1943. What he should have done? Running in the street screaming “give me back my son!”, thereby also capturing the other three, or she ends up being captured too and leaving the other three children alone, already fatherless? Minds that live on passions and express judgments dictated by pure emotions, what logical solution, rational and realistic would give in front of such a case?

.

We conclude now with the worst: the novax who think they are Catholic and who claim the right to be Catholic in their own way, as indeed is typical in all forms of expression of the fundamentalists. First of all, what does it mean:

.

"Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his faithful"? [Shall 115, 15].

.

It can mean many things, starting from the fact that no one, through selfishness and ideological erroneous beliefs it can put the lives of the faithful at risk, so precious in the eyes of the Lord. It's still:

.

«Give me intelligence and I will observe your Law; I will practice it with all my heart. Guide me in the path of your commandments, since in it I find my joy " [Shall 119, 34-35].

.

How these words fit together with who, like the pseudo-catholic fondmentalist antivax, instead, he refuses intelligence to raise the illogical foolishness that he has decided to harbor within himself to the law? Even the last of the pseudo-Catholic fundamentalists converted to the modern pagan religion of anti-vaccinism - except for feeling a hard and pure integral Catholic - is able to recite as a spiel the phrase imprinted in the Book of Leviticus and then also reported by the mouth of Christ God in the Holy Gospels:

.

«You won't hate your brother in your heart; scold your neighbor as well, but do not burden yourself with sin because of him. You will not take revenge and you will not hold a grudge against the children of your people, but you will love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord " [Lv 19, 17-18].

.

The fanatic Catholic converted to the pagan religion of anti-vaccination, the words of the Holy Scriptures and the Psalms is not really able to receive them. If he then reads them, unfortunately he cannot understand them. The brother is undoubtedly our fellow man in flesh and blood, but it is also a large container within which all kinds of brotherhood are enclosed: brother is the medical and paramedical staff who carried out their work in a great time of health crisis. Brother are the virologists who instead of going on television - whatever people say, because I met them in the Mediaset studios and I spoke to them several times -, they would have preferred to stay in their hospitals and research laboratories. Hardly though, the National Association of Hairdressers or that of Beauticians could provide information in a moment of pandemic emergency, the National Order of Lawyers, that of Engineers or that of Architects. And if anything,, to go for information, them who were the only ones at that time qualified to do it, they sacrificed the little time they had left to spend an hour or two with their wives and children.

.

In the writings, in messages, in the declarations of Catholic antivaxes there is an intolerable sarcastic contempt that denotes an almost total lack of Christian charity, it is enough to read certain blogs or online magazines to understand and touch their lowest human level. Words steeped in rancor, full of threats and moral judgments that are Christianly neither in heaven nor on earth.

.

"Love your neighbor as yourself" it means first of all to protect and safeguard it, because there is no subjective reason, based on emotions based on anti-science, in the name of which one can cause great harm to one's fellowmen, starting with the refusal of vaccination.

.

As a citizen of the Italian Republic, priest and theologian I affirm than to refuse vaccination at this time, after the best knowledge of modern world science has indicated it as the only remedy to avoid, or at least to greatly reduce the damage caused by Covid-19, it is morally unacceptable, that is to say sinful, as a sin against charity. And it is because the entire Old and New Testament narrative tells me exactly the opposite of what some poor wretches write, qualifying themselves as "true Catholics" and as "true Catholic thought".

.

Thank God I am not a member of the Italian Episcopal Conference, if I were, I would not hesitate to propose to all the other brother bishops the adoption of a drastic decision: without green-pass you do not enter the church. Love of neighbor and our decisive and total refusal of all forms of idolatry impose this on us, including the modern pagan antivax religion based on the cult of an unspecified alternative medicine, of naturopathy and homeopathy. Subjects you can see people who die of suffocation from lack of breathing, but that with no respect for the dead and the living they will tell you that it is not true, which is all one “pandemenza”. It's true, it's a “pandemenza”, to be exact, the “pandemenza” ideological-irrational and unscientific antivax, unaware that the demented suffer from “pandemenza” they do exist, are they!

.

The Catholic has a moral duty to get vaccinated out of a sense of deep responsibility towards mankind, because mankind is his neighbor that he must not only respect and protect, but that he must love as himself. What hard to make blind and obtuse subjects understand that they based their anti-scientific ideology first and foremost on the blatant disregard for the other, whether it is the individual or the entire world scientific community. And similar attitudes, for a Catholic, they are truly and deeply sinful.

In the final note, I clarify: in the era of digital illiteracy, a large number of people, in addition to not having the ability to understand what they read, they have difficulty understanding the meaning of words whose root and etymology they ignore. And after having read the title and subtitle of an articulate writing like this one proposed for the attention of our readers, the digital illiterate, read only the title and perhaps the subtitle, begins to go crazy on social media offending and attributing to the Author what he never thought, said and written. I think I have sufficiently explained that certain subjects are irrecoverable because they are closed to even elementary mechanisms of reasoning. For the sake of clarity I specify that I have never supported the obligation to vaccinate, but only supported and clarified, from a legal point of view and from a moral point of view, the duty to vaccinate. And for anyone who knows the Italian language - except for digital illiterates -, the words “duty” e “obligation” they have two different meanings in the sphere of law and in the sphere of Catholic doctrine, therefore two different ways of application.

Dear Readers,

please read the article written by the president of our editions [WHO vedere], in which we had asked for support for the fund of my court costs after I was made the subject of a lawsuit that, however unfounded, however, it requires me to proceed with my defense in court and therefore obliges me to spend money on legal fees. The logic is clear: hit one to frighten them and put a thousand of them to bed. So far we have collected almost the necessary.

For this I thank those who have so far sent a contribution for the provision for court costs and to whom I sent a message of thanks in private. Unfortunately, I have not been able to answer some of them, because along with their donation they did not send a message with their email, so it was impossible even and only to thank them. I thank them so much in these lines, sorry for not being able to send him a message.

The Zan bill: WHAT "ENEMIES" WILL NOT DO, "FRIENDS" WILL. WE HAVE TO HOPE AND BET ON HOMOSEXUAL FRIENDS WHO REASON IN A CLEAR WAY, BECAUSE THEY ARE MANY

.

Gay friends, we are honest: those they call you fagot, They are the same ones who give the slut to a little dressed woman and they are still the same ones who blame themselves when a religious crosses the road and then touch the genitals as a superstitious sign. They would be these poor people, not you, to be helped, because those who commit these excesses live evident problems with their lives that are certainly not remedied by a law that provides for repression, the fine or imprisonment.

the Gay Pride 2021 of Rome brought this into procession “poor Christ” Starting from the square of the Lateran Basilica, seat of the Bishop of Rome Chair, Passing in front of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and closing these blasphemous goliardies in front of the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli and Martiri, where Christians during the persecutions of Diocletian were martyred in the third century. However, a special law must be approved that criminally pursues with extreme severity anyone who went offended to the LGBT world.

Gay Pride it does not represent homosexuals and the gay world, It is good to clarify it. It has always been the grotesque manifestation of excesses, the chic and punctual blasphemy towards everything that is most sacred and dear to the Catholic and Christian world, All staged by characters who claim protection and with respect to shots of repressive criminal laws, but which have always claimed the right to insult the religious sentiment and human sensitivity of others. Grotesque event organized and carried out by a minority that has always deeply embarrassed the majority of homosexuals and the gay world, that we Fathers de The Island of Patmos We know how enough to know that in that ridiculous-grotesque theater they never set foot, just as the interested parties have always declared, even if their voices, which I repeat are those of the most, they have always been suffocated by those of the least.

.

Wanting to paraphrase Georges Benjamin Clemenceau We can say that the Zan bill is too serious and demanding to leave it in the hands of politicians. And they will be they-the Politicians Pro-DDL ZAN-to unaware it unknowingly. But let's go in order.

.

It is certainly right and necessary set aside in a hurry the inconclusive statements of the Bastonator "pected” and uninformed husband of Ferragni who, in his last live his Instagram, He made a miserable and miserable figure arguing on things he does not know and who does not understand for evident personal unpreparedness and embarrassing the Sor Zan and the Sor Cappato to death who tried to correct it but without result.

.

Sister Anna Monia Alfieri, In a much more polite but decisive way he tried to make our tattooing think baucia directing him a letter of fire To confront him on the theme of the Church and above all on the Zan DDL (Much more than Alberto Ravagnani could have done don-catto-youtuber praised by Future and from the CEI). But what you want, Women always have an extra gear, Sister Anna Monia in particular.

.

Again there was nothing to do, Unfortunately. Mr. F. strong of his 12 millions of followers continues in its illuminated mission that, From the top of the stage of the concert on May 1st, He dispenses copiously to all his devotees his very personal verbal Vibhuti who addresses to the nice thinking, to the nice vote and to the beautiful action. However, we must take note of one thing, The supporters of the Zan Law - Mr. F. Including - they really have a little room for maneuver. As things are putting out now, they seem pushed to the ropes and, from what it seems from the outside (and perhaps even inside!), This situation contributed to creating it, First of all trying to win easy and then trying to carry on a flash war against the centuries -old enemy: the church.

.

In the Senate the Politicians Pro-DDL ZAN have stoically refused any form of mediation and modification. At the tables of the majority group leaders they considered the alternatives proposed as irrenceable. Without wounding, they opened the possibility to the secret vote in fact, Which is done regularly - according to the Senate process - when they come to situations like these or when they come to deal with ethical issues. Let's face it frankly the possibility of going to the secret vote is terribly afraid of the supporters of the DDL Zan because they know that it is there - in the secret - that the consciousness of many of them will be freer to express themselves without political conditioning and pressure from sorts by social and lobby sides. And it is there in the secret vote - it doesn't matter if done in the Senate or in the Chamber - that what appears clearly outside Malue of accent and thought. Come May? well, Ask it to adult and traditionalist adult Catholiconi that with the law on divorce and abortion, in the secret of the electoral cabin, they made school giving their best of themselves.

.

The Zan DDL will have to support the proof of the secret vote in the Senate where everyone is faced with their own conscience and not to the party or lobbies. It's curious but it looks like the already seen of Peppone's Guareschiana confession, Made at night with an empty church in front of a Don Camillo in stole and pickled the confessional in the confessional, in which the red soul of the mayor of Brescello left room for that of the good Christian, First of all, of his consciousness in which that God who tried to oppose in public and with the party companions he had in the secret of the heart still stable and perpetual residence (Mt 6, 3-17).

.

God guides history and guidance also through consciences of those who seem, to our eyes, the most distant and hostile to faith but which then prove incredibly the most respectful, That's right, dear Readers. Certainly much more than those who define themselves in committed Catholics and Roman apostolic and who spend time to delight on social media the pets tackles of ignorance, pusillanimity and betrayal. In fact, reading comments to the latest articles by Father Ariel on the DDL Zan published on The Island of Patmos and also shared on Facebook, I remain impressed by this improbable Catholic league who would like to face the well -fearful and fierce LGBT+ armed army.

.

In these Catholics there is nothing, but just nothing concrete and mature, And this is said without controversy. It is certainly the fault of us priests that we have bred non faithful but kamikaze. If we remove the millennial invectives and the threats of divine punishment to the priests who, in their incorrect judgment, welcome the sinner while stigmatizing the sin, nothing remains. Or what to say about the remitted quotations of the Catholic doctrine and seasoned in a distorted Marian sauce without any theological sense? All this nourishes the need to foment the hatred and vilification of the rainbow people against a "medieval" and obscurantist church, guilty of having generated a plethora of very merciful children.

.

For charity, If the rainbow people have like sponsor Ferragni's husband, We are not better because we have Mons. Nunzio Galantine. Each one, the rest, He has his rogne in the house, But I believe it is right to give voice to a close comparison with the true homosexual people much more numerous than that of Pride who does not like to appear on the scenes but which is endowed with that delicacy and elegance that we have been able to appreciate in the beloved and late Paolo Poli and in others after him.

.

I am convinced that it is there that you have to insist To seek real resistance, especially regardless of the Catholic Church which today is unable to utter any analysis of common sense on the subject or to express even the least dissent. If ban, eg, The case of the path that in Rome is chosen to make the Pride. Itinerary that touches the dearest places of Christianity in the Eternal City. The parade of Pride It starts from the square of the Lateran Basilica, The metropolitan cathedral where the chair of the bishop of Rome is located. It runs along Via Merulana and passes in front of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, To arrive and finally end in Piazza della Repubblica, formerly Piazza Exedra, before the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli and Martiri, Last work created by Michelangelo on the ancient complex of the spa of Diocletian, place where Christians were martyred in the third century. Have you ever heard of public grievances by the Vicariate of Rome or by the C.E.I. or from the Holy See, Each as regards its competence?

.

Or you have perhaps heard of the various journalists and bloggasters Catholics, very active on the web, take the public defenses of Father Ariel following the recent complaint that was notified to him for the complaint of a member and activist of the Rainbow Lobby, complete with fierce LGBT association that has been a civil party? You may have read on the profiles Facebook of those journalists detailedly Catholic e pro-family a pale support towards Father Ariel and his dignity of persecuted priest before the time from a procedure that could be realized with much more ferocity if the Zan bill was approved? Because the exact opposite is to me: When Father Ariel asked for help for the procedural costs to some Catholic or apostolic Catholic Foundation committed and militants, as well as Danarosi, All these great defenders of faith and morals have not even answered him. Instead were our readers who, received the appeal, They are sending us free offers for the fund of procedural costs, And to all of them - to whom it was individually replied with thanksgiving - we will never cease to be grateful. Having said that, see how sad the examples are and how much they could multiply. As one might therefore not understand the person concerned that, With its well-known Tuscan-Roman irony, days ago, In one of our private interviews, comment: «God save us from the Roman apostolic Catholics committed and militants on the front of the supreme defense of the faith, of the family, of moral and Christian homeland!».

.

In the face of so many believers, ecclesiastical or lay, who close in an indifferent superiority that remains confined to their own vegetable garden, There are many mature homosexuals, which not only are not leftist, but that they don't even play in the lobby, in the clubs and in the local party sections. But they feel the deep need to say enough to this surreal pa handing that primarily harms their affectivity and uses it as a ram to break down enemies that do not exist. Ordinary people, proud of one's anonymity and its condition that, as in the pages of the writer Liala, they do not allow their affectivity to be spectacularized and to overcome the intimacy of the bedroom. Authentic people who do not feel the need to close themselves in the ghetto of a protected category and who live their condition as homosexuals in full free will with serenity. And if for some of these the position of the Church does not make a problem with their life - while reiterating that homosexuality for the Church is an intrinsic disorder and a shame - others want to keep that need for God and dialogue with the Church that proves to be stronger and necessary to be insulted on the street equally and dialogue.

.

Gay friends, we are honest: those they call you fagot, They are the same ones who give the slut to a little dressed woman and they are still the same ones who blame themselves when a religious crosses the road and then touch the genitals as a superstitious sign. They would be these poor people, not you, to be helped, because those who commit these excesses live evident problems with their lives that are certainly not remedied by a law that provides for repression, the fine or imprisonment.

.

Finally, I would like to see in the television and public debates The Amphitriions of the Zan DDL are not always that they are constantly present in each talk-show and who perhaps discuss the priest or converted on duty in a well -measured but terribly boring dialogue. I would like to hear common homosexuals who do not think like Alessandro Zan but who will never be taken into consideration because they are the living test that even in the LGBT+ world there is a lot of division and discrepancy of ideas.

.

The official narrative must be changed and say with simplicity that the rainbow is not representative of everyone and each. Not that romantic flag that groups and protects all diversity. The real banner of protection and education that forms man to the full knowledge of the other, As for some time he repeats in his writings, Conferences and television interventions Sister Anna Monia who, to education and school, has dedicated his studies and his life. This education is the basis of the family as a cell of every human consortium. Our Constitution already provides for this, so that respecting the individual starting from sex, from the social condition, from the breed or the profitted creed, Everyone is free to be what it is without having to get guarantee stamps. And this constitutional freedom, Unfortunately, in different LGBT+ environments and in Pride It is abundantly disregarded and all this in the most complete and guilty silence of those who rise to defenders and promoters of the Zan bill.

.

I'd like to hear homosexual guys Like Umberto La Morgia, Ferdinando Tripodi, the young jurist and then escort Neapolitan Francesco Mangiacapra - of which our editions will publish a very interesting book in September - and many other gays who live their affectivity in a visible way, Solved boys who oppose the Zan DDL not because they are homophobic or because Catholiconi, But simply because it is capable of downsizing and discerning an emergency that does not exist except in the mind of the promoters of this bill that often live deep wounds that will certainly not be healed or healed with the elimination of alleged homophobic. Just as there are homosexuals of common sense that oppose the Zan DDL, Thus there are also parliamentarians and common sense senators who, while belonging to the PD or movement 5 stars have matured a well -determined critical judgment regarding this bill, The same judgment that the accountant Fantozzi matured about the Potëmkin battleship.

.

The secret vote will certainly not give voice to the homophobes, not to the francs tiators, not to Gabbana to time, not to the various pills on duty but to all those who, although feeling in apparent harmony with the honorable Zan, they will not support it and perhaps they already do not support it as they have understood well for a long time that this bill has so many flaws in itself, Malumori and divisions that the only way to be able to seriously decide against discrimination is to sink the Zan DDL, putting an end to this long agony.
