Defense identity of the family (“is an anthropological fact, not ideological”) and head of all the good of the children, who “does not have a right.” The president of the CEI, Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, speaking a few days from the landing of the law Cirinnà classroom and on the eve of the Family Day organized for January 30 by Catholic associations hostile to the recognition of civil unions and above all forms of adoption connected, as the “stepchild adoption”. Pending opening address to the Permanent Council, the “parliament” of the Bishops’ Conference, Cardinal reaffirms the centrality of the family, claims the compactness of the Italian bishops on the uniqueness of the family founded by a man and a woman but also the possibility of believers to act on these issues.
“Never fails the identity and unique” institution of the family, the cardinal said that a few days ago with a statement at the end of Sunday Mass in Genoa had in fact expressed support to the event 30 January this line different in substance from that expressed by the Secretary General of the CEI, Nunzio Galantino. Yesterday he used tones much more cautious, and never mentioned the Family Day, which also – partly as a result of her statement – is receiving support from many Italian bishops. But yesterday on this point prevailed prudence: “Our every word, as always, want to be respectful of the roles,” he said. And on sensitive issues has always cited Pope Francis: “There can be no confusion between the family willed by God and every other type of union”, a phrase used by Bergoglio three days ago in his address to the Roman Rota, and “Children deserve to grow up with a father and a mother. The family is an anthropological fact, not ideological. ” In short, although it is cautious about the event, is both clear on key nodes “In the chest of the family, there is a jewel in the crown: the children. Their true good must prevail over any other, since they are the weakest and most exposed: they are never right, because there are things to be produced. ”
At the opening address Bagnasco came after the end of last week, was canceled the planned audience with the Pope (granted before every Board CEI): fact interpreted as a “message” clear of the pontiff, which since 2013 has always insisted that the bishops while being free to have their positions should not take direct roles on the actions of the laity in politics, as happened in the past, especially for the Family Day 2007 or the referendum on assisted procreation of 2005, where the CEI was the organizational engine, as well as political. Event next Saturday only an indirect reference: “Believers have the duty and the right to participate in the common good with serenity of heart and constructive spirit, as solemnly reiterated the Second Vatican Council, which says it is up to the laity” to enter the divine law in the life of the earthly city. Shoulder their responsibilities in the light of Christian wisdom and with eager attention to the teaching of the Magisterium. ” One glimmer Bagnasco leaves it open (but this is a position that had already emerged in the past talking about individual rights) when he says that in the country the “respect for all is lifestyle, and the rights of everyone are guaranteed on different levels according to justice.” In one passage speaks of “heated debate” in recent weeks and recalls that “the founding fathers gave us a treasure precise, we all have to appreciate and cherish as the dearest and most precious heritage, aware that” there can be no confusion between the family willed by God and every other type of union. ‘”
