Two articles to read What freedom?

Dear reader,

no, I will not be thinking about the afterlife, as mentioned at the end of the previous post, but something about it later you will find it, but as the title suggests I want to throw a few thoughts (or challenge) the very broad subject of freedom and some of the many forms of freedom (or slavery) as possible.

begin by reporting a news item reported by Adista , but already published Rocca, elimination of postal rates for the spread of the independent press, which is not only an economic problem. The signature is Raniero La Valle .

Correspondence denied

As the author explains, in Italy, under the guise of rehabilitation of Posts, in fact you are trying to halt the spread of the alternative press that news is not controlled by the regime. Fortunately, there is the "network", but apparently the new law under discussion in the Senate could also affect the web (although I think it is impossible to completely silence the network at this stage of its spread).

other news reported by Adista , but also on the Press of Finesettimana.org is the "return" of Father Santoro community Piagge in Florence, prior letter of "repentance" of the pastor, though he said during the first Mass celebrated in the community that is not repented and that the letter indicated only sorry that he made a gesture as "too old-time" and risking harm to the ecclesial communion. The links you find them on the sites mentioned above ... My question is: beyond the personal choices of Don Santoro would not let me any way to judge and who certainly are weighted and range, which is the point of all this? Repentance or "prophetic gesture too? What ecclesial communion? I am happy for the community of Piagge, but I do not know if the good of a specific local situation is worth the stink of compromise that I feel in the air ... and those who know me know what I mean, because such compromises are offered at many ...

Still, in no particular order, how about the applicant's plea to the conspiracy as a defense mechanism that returns the "Mr B" of our news (Berlusconi, Benedict XVI, Bagnasco, now adds Bertolaso, but with all the B ?)? But they are all from the same PR to manage the crisis? Now you are no longer free to disagree with someone, or to detect unclear issues (legal, ecclesiastical, ...) that immediately cries in the plot, the attack vicious and unfairly, or silt (if applicable) under the ' charges of chatter. Another technique that "Mr B" share is to blame those who raised the issue, the Camorra has invented Saviano, the Aquila scandal Guzzanti, the ecclesiastical pedophilia victims, with the veiled (not too) suggestion that is made just for interest. Or (new point of contact) to find a subject that really pays for everything ": a minister, some bishops ... is enough to save the system. And then drown in the news all triumphalist: the solution "all night" of the crisis on the stock (then immediately resumed), the huge crowd at Fatima (who expects miracles, not to mention the camel troops movements Church, rallied to make up the numbers) . And another common strategy: to scream conspiracy inside. Blaming problems to "traitors" within the system, due additives. The frond Finian in PDL, the pedophile priests that "attack the church from within," or theologians who write letters to bishops and disseminating ideas (ideas are scary ...). Anything not to admit personal responsibility ... it is easier to ask forgiveness for the sins of others, we have seen for the Jubilee of 2000, I resent these days, but no admission of guilt at first. Never! In the end even this is freedom, freedom of "detecting," "fly", "retract" ... beautiful freedom!

I talked to Fatima and I can think of today as the "third secret" as a bogeyman to be agitated the masses. Those same masses who are still in need of "miracles", a description of "pay" the afterlife (with well defined good and bad), of religious sentimentalism ... Now, mind you, many people have found comfort in these things in moments of pain, this can not be denied. But there is all the freedom of the Sons of God? What do you need more humanity, a religion reassuring, calming, soothing or experience of strong faith that transforms lives, history, social mechanisms? Rhetorical question, I fear, even more obvious answer (the second I said), but not easy to live ... Especially if you need the freedom to live, indeed the responsibility in the first person, and not delegated to a specially created caste (the clergy) which require certain services in exchange for power over the moral sphere ... ohibò!

And then, finally (for now), an icon of freedom: Robin Hood! New film on anti-hero of the English legend (who steals from the rich to give to the poor), presented as the opening of the Cannes Film Festival . I do not know if the film will live up to, boy, I loved the novel and film to date has never done justice in my opinion. The participation of the always wonderful Cate Blanchett is a security risk, but beyond that it is the usual American meatloaf (although Mr. Scott is a director and actors Australians are) the legend of Robin Hood remains an inspiration to those who believe in freedom to live "outside" the system of "power". A curiosity: Russell Crowe said he hopes there is a sequel to the film to reach that part of history in which there would be sex scenes with Blanchett ... a bit 'rude, but how he's wrong? :)

you soon!
