According to the testimony contained in the diaries of his secretary, Benito Mussolini used to say: "I am Catholic and anti-Christian" .
probably meant that referred to some elements of Catholic culture of the Italian people, simplified in the triptych, 'God, homeland and family,' but that repudiates the essence of Christianity, without forgiveness, love of enemies of the cross force, gentleness, faithfulness, hospitality and so on, in short, the spirit of the Beatitudes.
In our country, but also in the United States, Spain and elsewhere, there is a tendency on the part of a slice of the Catholic hierarchy and cattoliconi, cheer "who seems their ally in the defense of values \u200b\u200bin which he does not believe or shouting combative values \u200b\u200bthat are central to the Gospel, when in fact belies their lives every day with what he says ".
of course is not ostracize the search for convergence and a willingness to dialogue with all those who are seriously available. Indeed when it moves in this direction should only be encouraged. Nor
to plug the mouth of those who want to scream "the great things the Lord has done for us" (Psalm 125).
It is about us not taking the piss and ask that a minimum of coherence between the various statements that are made and between them and the behaviors that have both public and private.
"How do I accept that some call the play and hosting the infamous words and then speak as a Christian in defense of the family, essentially a place of welcome and listening?" (Enzo Bianchi).
How do I accept that someone commercialization of young girls and then talk to the Christians of family values, essentially the space of fidelity and mutual respect?
How it works?
