share this letter, and I think we should always maintain a spirit of "fraternal correction" to the more true as brothers united by the same Church in the spirit that I present in this letter you want to improve your home, our church .

Open Letter to Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco
Dear Mr. Cardinal,
live in the same city and we belong to the Church herself: her bishop, I am a priest. She is also head of the Italian bishops, sharing 50% between Genoa and Rome. In Genoa it is said that she is not much involved in the life of the diocese in Rome and probably say the same in reverse. It 's the fate of traveling salesmen and a percentage of the cardinals. With this public document, I turn to 50% of the cardinal who is the President of the CEI, but even 50% of which is the cardinal bishop of Genoa because the choices of the first to fall directly affecting the people of his city.
I read his inaugural address at the 59th general meeting of Cei (24-29 May 2009) and also his press conference on May 29, 2009. I was struck by the delicacy, as if the trouble which he has dealt with - or rather did not deal with - the moral (or immoral?) That invests in our country because of the conduct of the Prime Minister, now proven unequivocally: habitual a minor, perjury on children, use of falsehood as an instrument of government, planning lie in the mass media under control, such as slander political struggle.
you and the Secretary of the IEC have toned down the words until broth diluted with drinkable even by novices in a convent. Yet the allegations are serious and reliable sources: his wife publicly accused her husband President the board of "minors attend," states that must be treated "like a sick man," described him as "the dragon which must be offered in sacrifice virgins." The interviews published by one (sic) Italian newspaper in the desert dell'omertà of all others and by almost all the foreign press, confirmed beyond any doubt that the Prime Minister has lied to the nation and continues to lie on its judicial processes, sull'inazione of his government and his pedophilia. A decree of a court of first instance has certified that he is corrupting witnesses called to court and use the lie as a means of ordinary life and government. Yet it is the pride of the moral Catholic: God, Country, Family. In a compliant TV has turned into his own private affair into a public use it for electoral purposes, without any restraint and institutional ethics.
you, Mr. Cardinal, presents the teachings of the bishops (and the Pope) as the guarantor of moral, centered on the person and family values, yet neither she nor the bishops have said a word to clear a man, head of the government, which has brought our people at the lowest level of moral degradation, enhancing the instincts of seduction, strength / smarts and individual selfishness. The bishops attending the moral decay of the country blind and mute, unvoiced, buried in a fog of incense, which prevents them from seeing the "truth" che è la nuda «realtà». Il vostro atteggiamento è recidivo perché avete usato lo stesso innocuo linguaggio con i respingimenti degli immigrati in violazione di tutti i dettami del diritto e dell’Etica e della Dottrina sociale della Chiesa cattolica, con cui il governo è solito fare i gargarismi a vostro compiacimento e per vostra presa in giro. Avete fatto il diavolo a quattro contro le convivenze (Dico) e le tutele annesse, avete fatto fallire un referendum in nome dei supremi «principi non negoziabili» e ora non avete altro da dire se non che le vostre paroline sono «per tutti», cioè per nessuno.
Il popolo credente e diversamente credente si divide in due categorie: i disorientati e i rassegnati. The first do not understand why you have not spared slapped all'integerrimo and practicing Catholic, Prof. Romano Prodi, while carrying out any immorality of Berlusconi. Do not give an acquittal might have, where you strive to point out that in the field of ethics you "speak for all"? This allows you to blank expression not to appoint any individual to save the goat and the general moral (ie, immorality) and cabbages substantial interests that are involved: in the same interview she made the request for increased funding for private schools, placing themselves in relation to the two facts. And 'maybe a warning that unless there's funding, you are ready to download the government and the current majority that stands under the Catholic vote atheists? Many began to leave the Church and to devote the 8xmille to other religions: you surely know that the tenders to the Catholic Church continued to decline, must, however, know that teaching is a direct consequence of the nonexistent Cei that changed the prophecy in diplomacy in servility, and the truth.
resigned Catholics are even worse because they claim that if the bishops did not condemn Berlusconi and Berlusconi, then it is not serious and go over accusations of pedophilia, sexual lifestyles with built-in harem, method of government based on lies, lie on and hatred of the opponent but to win at all costs. The Catholic vote and the Catholic women vie for a model of corruption, whose TV and newspapers morally unscrupulous deform our people with "TV model" despicable, immoral and quarrelsome.
you in the eyes of our people, bishops silent, you are jointly responsible and their accomplices, who is blamed or, even worse, try to diminish the importance of personal responsibility. The people have coded this crime with the saying is as a thief who steals because those who hold out your bag. Because the parades bag Berlusconi and his most foul? Why not raise your voice to say that our people is a popular drug via television, 50% of personal property and for the other 50% under the direct influence of the Prime Minister? Why not say a word about conflict of interest that is crushing the legality and the fundamental ethos of our country? Why continue to fornicate with an immoral man who preaches the Catholic values \u200b\u200bof family and then divorced, remarried, divorced again, and surrounds himself with minors to amuse his senile svirilità? Why not say that such men have nothing in common as believers, pastors and as guarantor of Catholic morality? Why do not you have disavowed when it rejected the immigrants be handed over to certain death? It is not the same man who made a order to save all the plant life of Eluana? Are not you the same people who defend life "from its beginning to its natural end"? The life of blacks is less than that of a white? Up to this point have been contaminated by the heresy of the League and Berlusconi? Why not say that Catholics who support him in any way, share responsibility and accomplices of his crimes that natural ethics conviction? How far are the times of St. Ambrose to Theodosius in 390 prevented from entering the cathedral of Milan because "even the Emperor and the Church, not above the Church." You honor a golden calf.
and I, believe me, molti altri credenti pensiamo che lei e i vescovi avete perduto la vostra autorità e avete rinnegato il vostro magistero perché agite per interesse e non per verità. Per opportunismo, non per vangelo. Un governo dissipatore e una maggioranza, schiavi di un padrone che dispone di ingenti capitali provenienti da «mammona iniquitatis», si è reso disposto a saldarvi qualsiasi richiesta economica in base al principio che ogni uomo e istituzione hanno il loro prezzo. La promessa prevede il vostro silenzio che - è il caso di dirlo - è un silenzio d’oro? Quando il vostro silenzio non regge l’evidenza dell’ignominia dei fatti, voi, da esperti, pesate le parole e parlate a suocera perché nuora intenda, ma senza disturbarla troppo: «troncare, sopire … sopire, troncare».
Sig. Cardinale, ricorda il conte zio dei Promessi Sposi? «Veda vostra paternità; son cose, come io le dicevo, da finirsi tra di noi, da seppellirsi qui, cose che a rimestarle troppo … si fa peggio. Lei sa cosa segue: quest’urti, queste picche, principiano talvolta da una bagattella, e vanno avanti, vanno avanti… A voler trovarne il fondo, o non se ne viene a capo, o vengon fuori cent’altri imbrogli. Sopire, troncare, padre molto reverendo: troncare, sopire» (A. Manzoni, Promessi Sposi, cap. IX). Dobbiamo pensare che le accuse di pedofilia al presidente del consiglio e le bugie provate al Paese siano una «bagatella» for they lose enough 'five Pater, Ave and Gloria "? The situation was described in a fierce offensive to you and former President of the Republic, Francesco Cossiga, you have not refuted: "The Church has very matter of private behavior. But in a monogamous devout [read: Prodi] that challenges some of his directives and spoils a female instead gives a real hand, the Church says spoils the good girls. Ecclesia et meretrix caste "(La Stampa, 08/05/2009).
Allow me to recall to his memory, a step of a Father of the Church, the upright Saint Hilary of Poitiers, which is already in sec. IV warned by flattery and gifts from the emperor Constantius il Berlusconi cesarista di turno: «Noi non abbiamo più un imperatore anticristiano che ci perseguita, ma dobbiamo lottare contro un persecutore ancora più insidioso, un nemico che lusinga; non ci flagella la schiena ma ci accarezza il ventre; non ci confisca i beni (dandoci così la vita), ma ci arricchisce per darci la morte; non ci spinge verso la libertà mettendoci in carcere, ma verso la schiavitù invitandoci e onorandoci nel palazzo; non ci colpisce il corpo, ma prende possesso del cuore; non ci taglia la testa con la spada, ma ci uccide l’anima con il denaro» (Ilario di Poitiers, Contro l’imperatore Costanzo 5).
Egregio sig. Cardinale, in nome di quel Dio che lei dice di rappresentare, give us a taste of prophecy, a whisper of gospel, a flash of summer coherence of faith and credibility. If you can not do 50% attributable to the president of the CEI 'best interests to "do it at least 50% held by the bishop of a city where many, many people are turning away from the life of the Church because of the moral elasticity of Italian bishops, based on the principle of opportunism that is the denial of truth and connective tissue of civil society.
She spoke of "educational emergency" that is also the theme for the next decade and has complained about "negative models of television." I suppose you know that TV does not come under the arch Tito's, but they have an owner who is head of government and in the double role affects programs, advertising, economy, models and styles of life, ethics and behavior of young people who can not offer more than the prospect of "vellum" or in the alternative Member of Parliament to the Head who gives jobs to the parliament as a loyalty bonus to those who proved most helpful, especially for women. They say the news that the sultan has gloat in front of his reaction because he feared worse, and if he says that he is an expert, I can believe. Now with the blessing of your tickling, may continue in its wanton and enterprise in the trafficking of minors to be sacrificed on the altar del tempio del suo narcisismo paranoico, a beneficio del paese di Berlusconistan, come la stampa inglese ha definito l’Italia.
Egregio sig. Cardinale, possiamo sperare ancora che i vescovi esercitino il servizio della loro autorità con autorevolezza, senza alchimie a copertura dei ricchi potenti e a danno della limpidezza delle verità come insegna Giovanni Battista che all’Erode di turno grida senza paura per la sua stessa vita: «Non licet»? Al Precursore la sua parola di condanna costò la vita, mentre a voi il vostro «tacere» porta fortuna.
In attesa di un suo riscontro porgo distinti saluti.
