The situation in Italy “is complex, often fractious and distracted. It is the hour of great responsibility. ” To launch the appeal to politics is the president of the CEI, Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco opening the Permanent Episcopal Council. Family and employment ‘are the concrete things that the people watching with growing concern. And it is on these emergencies that people want to see the political engaged day and night for urgent and concrete measures. These are the real steps that occur in Europe with our heads held high, “he points out the head of the Italian bishops, Cardinal.

“It seems that the country as a whole, – notes – is reacting to the crisis, but the road looks exhausting.” In short, “it’s time – has ticked – a big responsibility ‘, because the occupation, the family and the welfare state are available to everyone, especially young people who are entitled to make their own family.” Material goods are certainly “necessary to live with dignity – said Bagnasco – but there is an invisible asset that is priceless and you can not ‘buy: and’ confidence, hope,” the cardinal recalled drawing the attention of ‘public opinion on’ ‘demographic winter’, documented by the Istat data of 2015, which he said, “have the data worst Unita ‘d’Italy: last year, compared with 653,000 deaths, births were 488mila while 100 thousand Italians have left the country. ” For Bagnasco, “it is a symptom of a deeper crisis than economic.” And murder Varani “consequence of getting high” culture adds: “We can not remain silent – said Bagnasco – yet another sign of the profound educational discomfort that meanders and takes its toll: the recent, gruesome crime perpetrated by` curiosità’ “. A situation that translates an “absolute inner emptiness, a desperate boredom of living which demands an insatiable need for thrills.” Hence the concern “that you have not opened a serious, choral public debate; that you continue to show guilty superficiality or cowardly resignation in the face of the `sballo’ culture with drugs, alcohol, gambling, to the total disregard of their own and others’ lives.”

Among the issues addressed also the emergency migrants and the attitude of the EU.

Migrants: what a show gives him Europe?
“What a spectacle of himself gives Europe? Can Europe, the cradle of civilization and rights, build walls and dig ditches? “Are the questions that arises the president of the CEI in the inaugural speech to the Permanent Council addresses the plight of migrants. Bagnasco stressed that “the intelligent supervision is a must,” “the integration strategy is not easy, but the European House and the United Nations itself are addressing

this humanitarian disaster with foresight and effectiveness?”. “No one can deny that our country – said the archbishop of Genoa – has always been at the forefront, not only because it is the ‘gateway to Europe’, but mainly because it showed immediately generously and quickly, even in situations so unprecedented that no nation seems to be able to face without taking refuge in the usual slogans unreal. “

civil Unions: unfounded approvals
the President of the CEI also recalled that the family “is truly the greatest capital of enterprise and solidarity, a treasure not to weaken and scatter with unfounded approvals, treating different situations in the same way. On one side is claiming differences on a cultural level, and, second, are denied on the regulatory side, creating de facto situations of paramatrimoniali “he stressed.

Children do not object, the right to have mom and dad

“The drift individualistic, radical and liberal, does not intend to stop,” said Bagnasco reiterating that “it is right of children not to become subject of law for anyone, because they are not things to be produced. Especially as certain so-called rights are only for the rich at the expense of the poorest, especially women and their bodies. So, is part of a human humanism that love does not justify everything, that children have a right to a father and a mother. “

Bagnasco also spoke of pedophilia cases registered within of the church. “Whenever it is found a case of child abuse – claims – is renewed in us the pain and sympathy with the victims and their relatives; together we reiterate the conviction of the perpetrators, while a growing concern for the scandal of souls. ” Bagnasco stressed that “the Italian bishops were among the first to put in place rigorously Vatican indications the ascertainment of objections and the payment of penalties.”
