Open Letter to Future (2) The prevalence of

Dear Editor,

if Berlusconi did not invent it one of his, as indeed may well do, the risk is to be arrived at eve of a period of transition to nowhere.

The situation is less dramatic than in 1946, but even today there are those who hoped that, as then, the Italian Catholic Church will not stand. My hope is that it takes the responsibility of a policy initiative.
certainly can not be a new DC, but something more for the unity of Catholics in politics in my opinion it could certainly do and if not now when?
Yet, not only on this issue, the bishops seem uncertain, and discount the obvious divisions that exist among them and among the faithful.

At the same time, we see that among committed Catholics "in society" is one who feels embarrassed and compelled to raise the finger to call the premier to the moral sobriety. Just when we were guests of his government, and was to collect attention to the problems of the family not seen for a long time.
Of course, you will understood the feeling of discomfort of many of the faithful. But is that the only role of the moralists who can now have the Catholics in politics? We are still all so impervious to the lessons of the old Benedetto Croce, that the true morality, for a politician, lies in the efficacy of its public action, and certainly not in his private behavior?

Also, now we see that among Catholics there is also committed vengeful people (to the face of the Gospel), which is said to cheers and also proud because he had misspelled one of them was punished by preventing it from continuing to write.
Many other political lessons - not to say that Voltaire is not the case - but of distinguished Catholic thinkers and liberals, on the absolute value of press freedom in a modern democracy, apparently also remained unanswered. And as usual, the opportunity was lost a long silence.

Ecco, in questa apparente passività dei vescovi, mi piace pensare che non si tratti solo di divisioni e di incertezza, ma anche del fatto che ci sia ancora qualcuno, nelle stanze della CEI, che non ha perso l'istinto di mettersi le mani nei capelli quando apprende certe cose. Speriamo che, di conseguenza, si metta a pregare perchè ci pensi il Signore, che quando è venuto a visitarci sulla terra con i moralisti e i vendicatori del suo tempo ne ha avuto a che fare fin troppo.
