Devotion ...? No, thanks

Dear reader,

yesterday afternoon, by zapping on TV to get some information on ongoing regional elections, I came across a program recklessly RaiUno (I think, I have not talked ...) conducted Massimo Giletti (a guarantee of ... low level of transmission) on the apparitions of Medjugorje ... a nightmare!

I do not know if it was the worst run with that now imitates Giletti Vespa also poses and movements, the actions of the guests (even if someone was saved, but always on an emotional, spiritualistic, devotional) or the theme itself, for some reason chose to accompany the evening of Passion Sunday, in which the Church is called to commemorate the saving event of Christ's Passion. Maybe it will be seemed a right spiritual approach, but I still made more sense, having considered carefully the texts of the Gospels, we squabble (because obviously this was) on a marginal aspect of it, and still unrealistic and not determined, the devotion. The highlight, at least the few minutes I could stand before you turn off the TV, is was when a spectator (Young) launched in defense of the truth of the apparitions of the phrase "you can not rationally prove appearances because, as the Mass, is the Mystery of Faith!"

Maybe if someone would have had jurisdiction in matters of faith (and there was not one there) would have pointed out that the mystery of faith and the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ "and not the appearances of anyone (Madonna included) and that the term "Mystery" in theology does not mean "secret and inexplicable thing," but translates the concept of "memorial of salvation" (though maybe if you had chosen a less cryptic translation was not bad) . Then

I went to look for a reading made recently, which instead was driven by a completely different part of my spiritual reflection for snebbiare your mind so much littleness and unwind in what looks like a new direction taken by the theological reflection in context not only Catholic or Christian but inter-religious dialogue.

It is this article Adista , which gives you the link if you want to read it ...

A post-religious theology

you soon!

Raiperunanotte

Dear reader,

do not know if last night you were one of many who, via satellite, local TV, internet, square or otherwise could enjoy the transmission of Michele Santoro Raiperunanotte on the theme of freedom of information in Italy. If by chance I missed this opportunity go to YouTube and type "Raiperunanotte" and you'll have all the movies that will help you appreciate this a sign that even in Italy there is the will to think, learn, listen .. .

Personally, I liked almost all of the transmission, in particular those of Labor and the (mythical) Luttazzi ! My heart melted and ethnic music for the return of Teresa De Sio (singer-songwriter who has paid dearly for his choice to remain linked to social centers and the music is not aligned itself marginalized by the left, but always creative ...) and I loved it even Morgan (who just recently I am learning to appreciate, because of who better not say ... ) despite being criticized by those who may not feel well or do not want to hear exactly what he said ...

Moving the intervention of Monicelli Benigni and fun (which is rarely my approval). Great extent and seriousness of the reported intervention Gabanelli , far too much (verging on cowardice) in Giovanni Floris (out of place the transmission in my opinion).

MA ... There is a big but ... how come no one has had the courage to go all the way and to highlight one of the fundamental because of the current and historical situation of Italy in respect of political power? Only a cartoon Vauro touched in passing the subject: the responsibility of the Catholic hierarchy ! The serious and terrible responsibility, stress!

Because if the Italian people do not become aware of this, you will also, sooner or later leave the despot of the moment, as in the past, but build up in another. Why is the responsibility of the Catholic hierarchy (not the Church, the Church MAI, but only of those who claim the right to speak for it) is not much, or only, to support a criminally "pataccaro" (Roman expression that means "seller of smears," that is "fraud") immoral, multi-investigated and suffering from delusions of omnipotence, but also to perpetuate a psychological defect that afflicts the majority of the population, the tendency to submission to the "principle of authority", especially when cloaked in "divine sanctity."

The average Italian, believer or not, of every background and wealth, is afflicted by this problem, which once enslaved also English, Irish and others ... but these other populations have failed to emancipate themselves, to develop this psychological dependence, while in Italy it is still difficult to do so. Even in avowedly secular, leftist, progressive, non-denominational ... Last night if they have had the test. No one has linked the "phenomenon" of the political moment with this issue ... Mussolini made efforts (rightly in my opinion) but without understanding that there was both behind and there is the psychological dependence collective from the beginning of divine authority "that eliminates the personal dignity, responsibility, reasonableness and solidarity.

So the only thing that I can add to the many beautiful and important things said last night, this is it, because we are too few to "put his finger on." Only, if we are not always more to do so, the "plague" seems heal for a while, and then reopen it again ... always painful and humiliating. As long as Italy does not get rid of this "malignant cancer" that is "the Catholic hierarchy and its claim of" authority "self-referential, it will never be a country" free, secular and democratic, "nor will ever be a nation seriously and to live in community, faith in Christ and the Mystery of Salvation which is the Church!

How long ... READ AND LISTEN

Dear reader,

know that almost no matter any more, but I am here again ... because this long silence? Many reasons, most practical, but all fall into two aspects, not exciting, my personality: the laziness el ' pride. The laziness, because although those who know me feel that I am a man who has always spent a lot of the things he does, this is rarely true. I am a man who has the luck or the advantage of giving the best in quick bursts of activity interspersed and followed by long periods of rest and recharge. And when I do not have the rise of creative inspiration is useless so why not write it any good groove ... or at least nothing that I feel good to communicate ... And here comes the other feature: the ' pride, claiming to always do or say things "of value", according to my exacting standards and caustic that rarely allow negative bending. So, if the reflections that I started and I want to communicate do not come out the right way, everything stops waiting to surprise and "look good" ...

... but enough is enough with this attitude! This is the real reflection that I inform you today, writing spontaneously, without thinking, and reading, so as to prevent my super implacable judge to censor the sincerity and honesty of this self-criticism, always a bit 'self-congratulation, but at least honest and sincere " naked! Because if you look

to have striking things to say, and say with the greatest effect, end up not writing more ... because the reflection on "disease of possession" I predicted two months ago as the next post you see that I still can not do it without hypocrisy, because of the "disease" are affected first, and I do not feel like "pontificate" about things that I still have to prepare seriously to myself, maybe I'd like to "pontificate" (as like many others, especially if popes professional), but a sense of decency (or as some would say, my innate spirit of ethics. ..) still can not stop so much pride and arrogance ...

said that, even without stretching the soup, so much what was said there already, move on, to what I wanted to communicate to you spontaneously, which (unexpectedly) "waste time" to read, in the two months since, and has remained in limbo in dell'inespressione 'waiting for the "good thought" for now there will be ...

I wanted to tell you about two books, a bed and in a reading course, which I highly recommend, especially the first one. This is Tour of Wind Andrea De Carlo, ferocious satire on modern society and social relations that go into respectable middle-class and crisis if compared with the loss of the safety that modern technologies have made for many of us "necessity employees. "very good book, an author who always appreciate, and I ate everything in one night as I was involved, is really worth ...

The second book, which is proving rather difficult to read and jagged, even listless at times, is Quiet Chaos of Sandro Veronesi from which the film was taken with Nanni Moretti that has done so much to talk about himself only for the anal sex scene between him and Isabella Ferrari , which says a lot about the permanence of the "anal phase" in the maturity (or immaturity) and sexual affection of many Italians. The book is written in such a way that I like a lot but the feelings, thoughts, arouses emotions that are disturbing me a lot (which I think is an advantage) and make it hard to read, why force me to think constantly (which, like everyone else, are not always willing to do ...). But I feel that in this case it's worth it ...

Books aside, I also have two movies to recommend, even three ... I have seen with great emotion White space of Francesca Comencini (on DVD, is no longer in theaters) with a more superlative Margherita Buy. History intense and sensitive, engaging, emotional, feminine, delicate and true ... I say no more, to be sought and given ...

Then slowly I have tasted in the original language, Milk of Gus Van Sant with Sean Penn (Oscar for best actor last year, his second award so far) about the life (and death for murder) of the first openly gay councilor elected to public office in USA. Apart from the intensity of the film and interpretation, we should remember today that in Italy, the Constitutional Court to pronounce sull'incostituzionalità rules against the recognition of de facto couples (including, but not only, same-sex couples), although, indeed, precisely because this statement runs the risk of many organs glissando of "disinformation" (because these are 95% of the news and newspapers in Italy ...)

third film, just released in theaters, the new work by Ferzan Ozpetek , Mine Vaganti , seen in the movies ... nice, I would not say beautiful, especially when compared to previous works as Ignorant Fairies, Sacred Heart and Saturno Contro . Ozpetek is always trying to imitate more Almodovar but I think with less and less limited success. It shows, however, denied the ability to take players from fiction television and make them able and credible on the big screen. Having faced in previous films Gabriel Garko, Ambra Angiolini, Luca Argentero , this time we can get high with Alessandro Precious and Daniele Pecci, but also with Lunetta Savino (who, however, had already caught in Saturno Contro). A little 'less with Riccardo Scamarcio (which I do not mind as an actor but here is a bit' cold fish, like Raoul Bova it Facing Windows ...)... Helped to complete his sparkling comedy of three professionals as Ennio Fantastichini , Elena Sofia Ricci (alcoholic aunt and nymphomaniac tasty) and a stunning Ilaria Occhini in the role of grandmother. Honorable Mention for the freshness, beauty and the extent of Nicole Grimaudo for the music for many years 70 including the wonderful "Pensiero stupendo" Patty Pravo (but the text is Ivano Fossati, remember). A film to watch, I would not want some criticism earlier seemed to be too harsh, but not the best of Ozpetek according to my tastes ... whether the choice of light was his original decision, the change could well be, but if he was required by the production and the market, then I start worrying ... In any case, a good comedy that does more than reflect laugh, even if it raises a few thoughts ...

At this point I salute you, dear reader, without promising anything about the next actions, but hoping that less characterized by spontaneity reason they are not far to come ...

What's The Best Egyptian

the military defense of a democratic state

In a democratic ideological contrasts not lead to a war in the army as a democratic political system, some of the people will identify with the enemies, as well as having the freedom to migrate can break free from abuse of power.

If you want peace, unity and cooperation among peoples, we must tolerate and absorb cultural differences, without prevarication and superior instincts.
Those who are called to arms, he is forced to fight and to obey a person may not share that belief, he is obliged to obey, is the victim of a tyrannical regime, but in the past it was accepted passively, so what happened at the ideological level .

Today, the situation has changed. Already in the military service of the emerging conflict with power. In "a soldier" There goes against the despot, and beginning with those around us, emerging with the hazing. The hazing is the result of an incorrect setting of higher-ranking officials at the barracks, because it comes into conflict with those who have acquired merit in other areas, namely democracy it is made of the same company, with its equal rights. However

is and will always need to have an army or an armed body of police, national and international, to ensure compliance with the laws, and then the defense of public order and peace among nations.
The use or threat of weapons is the only way you can enforce the laws.

The Army must continue to exist and could be an opportunity to give useful to criminals, rather than locking them up in prison, and all those young people, immigrants and those in search of employment. Why accept that we can escape the obligation of military service simply emigrating? because we accept that foreigners take away jobs without even having completed compulsory military service, or any obligation to defend the nation in case of war.

The power of weapons is a result of scientific genius, which in turn is the result of the nation's ability to grow, even in other sectors. The existence of arms is therefore necessary, because in the discard, will someone else to obtain them and prevail.

Red Spots On The Tip Of My Tongue

Population growth

Our planet is limited in its resources and its habitability, and also sets limits to population growth. The current pace of population growth, therefore, would not allow even to have only two children per couple. It also lengthens the life span.

people in poor countries does not arise at all problems of economic organization, delegating the problem to the nations to which to migrate, it makes children very prolific, believing there are plenty.

Migration is a slow invasion the poorest people, to those nations where power belongs to the people. To reduce fertility in poor countries, migration must be prevented. In the liberal economic system, immigration can not be blocked even if they wanted. However, you can solve the root causes that are ingrained in the political system. E 'is a misconception that immigrants do not detract from, many Italians would surely be willing to move, for example, also providing accommodation to those moves coming from another city, but also by ensuring, for example, the unemployed the opportunity to travel for free (which foreigners already do) (but also because it is a waste to have public transport traveling half-empty). We must not forget that many Italians have enjoyed the ability to migrate, including in particular the southern Europe to America, or in Northern Italy and Northern Europe. However, it is necessary to state that occupies a territory as the American one that was almost deserted, which was and has been for a long time property of anyone or anyone willing to go and live. If you want to allow immigration, we must make a selection, also operates an exchange of persons, such as expelling our prisoners. Because of population growth, the family, which is an important institution, it can very easily fall into crisis, and the law is found to legislate on to new and continuing problems, which first appeared minor. It was necessary, for example, the institution of divorce. I would add, in this regard, the possibility for the children of separated parents, living in a family environment differently. It was necessary to legislate in regard to abortion, which I consider a crime against a living organism, although still in its formative stages. No one is good. Crime is one aspect of the nature of all. I encourage the continuation of the pregnancy followed by adoption, so it is fairer to let a child grow and rely on who can guarantee him a better state. Every child develops its own personality only by staying with her parents, but also entering a larger social group. So professionals must participate in group life, perhaps in a special institution, which in most cases would not be different from one school, but it can also offer a welcome alternative to the family, especially if you are an adoptive family . The adoption must be allowed to anyone who can provide for growth and education of the child, but without breaking the link with their natural parents. For an adopted child should never hidden its origin, because only by comparison with the natural parents, if you can understand the affection before it is sufficiently similar or even better. It 's a psychological necessity that must not be denied even in the case of artificial insemination, or genetic manipulation. The right to raise a child belongs to anyone who tries paternal affection towards him, and we must not overlook the possibility that growth economy, is favored by the state, through child benefit, and that should be bestowed for consistency, to all those who want to adopt a child. The adoption and education of a child it is for those who feel affection for their intelligence and using it for his own good. The adoption and education of a child is not a prerogative of heterosexuals, in fact, if so, who lives with heterosexual parents, would not become homosexual. The capacity to love is demonstrated by intelligence, and vice versa. Anyone should be allowed to adopt and educate a child if this can improve their condition, they can enjoy better economic opportunities, and ultimately more attention, instead of being abandoned. In adopting such animals do not we ask ourselves limits, but they are always very popular, even and especially when to adopt them are lonely people. The claim to equality rights of women stems from the need to change, to a greater population control. The need to be free from the conjugal bond that can lose meaning if forced into the role of housewives only, without being mothers, a condition in which there is no guarantee their future, but not always, because in contrast there are cases where women who are ensured of an economic condition in the employ of his wealthy man is sitting at home, becoming oppressive , a bad mother, the cause of male homosexuality. Their abuses are not recognized and punished: the number of women in prisons is not "equal" to that man, so that they can deceive men, with a false appearance of weakness, meditating in the shade and act as able to create ties and constraints with which to maintain themselves. They get equal rights as men, but once conquered, and do not recognize, discharging their duties only. Animals have rights to live in their natural environment, but their environment is endangered. But it is also the environment in which we live that should change, our environment is unbearable, because there are few trees and parks. The animal testing is a manifestation of cruelty, as it is cruel to a defenseless animal to rip his fur for a coat to do with it, when there are alternative fabrics. Cloning does not mean one man have exactly the same to another, but genetically improved. Cloning and genetic manipulation, I do not immoral, since they are the result of the power acquired by man over nature, and human reason which has dominion over nature. Or should use existing knowledge to produce larger plants and resistant. Those who want to stop biotechnology, including in agriculture, must be isolated and locked until you prove that is detrimental to human health, because it poses a major brake against the development of agriculture and the resolution of the problem of shortage of genres food in poorer countries. Cloning should not be geared to the reproduction of identical individuals, even though I think it impossible, as the development of the personality of a man is always different, but the possibility of obtaining genetically perfect and better, such as the possibility of living more long. I believe contradictory we oppose the new techniques of science and yet you allow the abuse of technology such as pollution, which defends the naturalness of the reproduction, and allows abortion, which denies the spontaneous formation of life, reducing it by a control rational.
