In the end it had to happen: the cardinal Angelo Bagnasco , as head of the Italian Bishops Conference, heir of Cardinal Camillo Ruini , that is interventionist and advocate of the subjection of the “political” from “religious”, strictly Catholic – ça va sans dire – has decided to impose its will in the Senate, that is the Parliament, demanding, even ordering his acolytes appointed to vote with the Cirinnà bill that for the Cardinal is Cirinnò secret vote.
Oh, God !, it is not that Parliament is a champion of autonomy since Berlusconi and the League, along with the Democratic Party, made the bullshit law to appoint the members of parliament and not to make them elect! Parliament is selling for much less, and as evidenced by the change of team, such as Dorina Bianchi that changed seven parties, in contrast to the Samaritan woman of the Gospel that he had only had five husbands. Cardinal tries, it is to be seen who accepted the invitation and kneels, who carries the bag and how to vote.
The reaction of Renzi talking “with all due respect for the cardinal,” I do not convincing because it is a duty, but I believe that secretly he apologized and explained him why “had to intervene.” the law we even apart Cirinnà that, when it voted, will be distorted by the same Democratic Party that makes ferocetta face against the freedom of conscience of 5stelle Movement, then give liberty of conscience to its employees without even a wrinkle of shame.
what the intervention of Cardinal Bagnasco highlights are two things. The first is the division within the episcopate , due to the discomfort of most of the bishops before the activism of Pope Francis does not want to interfere in the politics of Italy . The proof is in the declaration of the CEI secretary, Monsignor Galantino, who said: “I am not speaking out of respect to Parliament who is legislating”, a position diametrically opposite to that of Bagnasco. If you do not understand this struggle within the hierarchy, it distorts the sense of the intervention on the cardinal’s secret vote.
In a year, it expires Bagnasco as president of the CEI, and is looking for a way out of receivership in which he put the Pope with Galantino. He knows that the majority of the bishops is uncomfortable and then sends a message to daughter in law (Parliament) because mother-in-law (the bishops) intends. The Bishop of Genoa, who is a staunch supporter supreme authority of the Pope, having only experienced Popes who thought like him, he could not imagine – poor thing! – You could get a Pope a thousand miles away from his thinking, policy, clericalism and the “non-negotiable principles” , put in the freezer for future reference.
He does not know how to extricate and must find a way to get out. Every occasion is good and Cirinnà was a wedding invitation, but it is a flash in the pan, except that the second reason which highlights. His speech, in fact, puts urgently and without referrals – but I know that is impossible with “this parliament” and with this CEI – not only review, but the very abolition of the Concordat of 1929 , overhauled in 1984 by card. Casaroli and Bettino / Benito Craxi. The agreement was supposed to be a guarantee for the State and a levee for clericalism. Bank guarantee and because it establishes the boundaries within which the two parties can move, beyond which there is usurpation of power.
The intervention of Bagnasco, no matter what the purpose had in its intentions, is formally an undue interference in the state structure as secular and non-religious can not and must not allow its Parliament – as unworthy and illegitimate – can legislate breathing down the neck of some monsignor belong to any religion. I regret that the Cardinal Bagnasco is not, as a Catholic, anticlerical as required by the Gospel and Christian conscience, but for me, an Italian citizen, Catholic priest, is inadmissible any tampering or attempt to adulteration of the secular state .
the supreme evil in the same Catholic religion (and, as we see, even in Islamism in even more serious form) is clericalism as they claim to manage the state with exclusive religious criteria. Defending dramatically full, total, unquestioned secular state , despite his own representatives appointed from it are unworthy. Now only an abolition of the agreed toto can heal the “weak point” of the intervention of Bagnasco, because the Constitution guarantees freedom of conscience without the need of extra frills for religions and believers citizens. Hope and dream is not ravings.
Note. Many readers have asked me why Pope Francis has lent the orgy of cadaverous mummy of Padre Pio and Friar Mandic. I think it was a move to silence those who accused him of destroying the popular religion with its reforms. Latin American, he feeds on it which is a feature of his world and his training and pastoral. With that gesture, which also remains impressive and obscene, led the more sentimental religiosity in Rome highlighting that even the people with him. The second reason is more ground: since the Romans complained, has helped the economy of the small traders of Rome without seeing the crowds they expected, they felt in some way helped. Again, there is a form of paternity and rescue. Personally I would have acted differently, but I’m not Bergoglio (by his good fortune and my misfortune).
