WHY 'CATHOLICS IN POLITICS? BY
periodically returns to the current issue of the participation of Catholics in political life of our country. He wrote recently in the Journal of Southern Bishop also broke. Why such a presence would be needed? What would be the specific contribution of Catholics to politics? What they connote different quality than the "secular"?
The speech is complex and relates to the Gospel message, that everything exudes love for humanity and the human community, where the everyday experience of living, the difficulty of being men and women naturally carry with inalienable rights, dignity is not violated neither the State nor by others. There are rights to life, peace and happiness that such comes either directly from a reading in social and economic terms of the gospels. The message of God to men is a message of peace and fruitfulness of life.
does not belong to a vision of Christianity postponed happiness hereafter. It is a misreading of the Gospels and black, pessimistic and discouraging: if happiness can only be reached Heaven, because we came into this world? Only to suffer and die, as some current Catholic postulate? They sow fear and pain in excess of that Jesus never spoke. He, indeed, spoke of complete happiness, already achieved here and now. How? In what way? By serving others, without demanding anything in return, launching a virtuous circle of love which responds more love. This is the heart of the Gospel message: the joy and love that generates it.
The Christian who engages in policy brings with it this view of life is capable, through prayer and meditation to discern the signs of the times through a spiritual sensitivity that many do not possess. The Christian examines the signs, read them in the light of the Gospel, he draws ideas of analysis to design the city on a human scale, in which solidarity and prosperity reign. The common good is the public good, and this symmetry he meets all the men and women of good will who, from other forms of humanism, they care about man, life and creation. The dialogue between different political cultures stems from this common foundation: the protection of human life, from birth to natural death. On these questions there are clashes and ethical controversy and I would say, big contradictions that should be overcome with intelligence and wisdom. An example: areas of pacifism and environmentalism lay postulate the protection of the environment and animal life, but they say something very convincing than the protection of unborn life and dying. Abortion and euthanasia, to me, contrasted with even the conditions of ideological environmentalism and pacifism. Consciousness would take a big step forward. Here, the Catholic fundamentalism poses no substantive issues and with full respect for others' visions, in a report that, as we were taught and Moro Dell'Andro is for discussion and dialogue, since dialogue is something we in them and vice versa. The new humanity is always born by acts of love and dialogue, a mutual enrichment that is new life during construction.

Ship Parts With Their Name
PART OF THE HOLY FATHER
If we, after some time and more peaceful mind, to the press campaign plotted against the Pope and the Catholic Church, we can not avoid dall'evidenziarne virulence, and the pretext. Let's be clear on one point: child abuse is an abominable crime, worthy of the utmost condemnation, a condemnation not only moral but also criminal. The person who does commit a sin of unprecedented severity, especially if then as the cassock or religious. Who has vowed to serve God can not be used while the Antichrist. Hell, if anything, it will be harder for them (but I would add for those who, knowing, omitted to act), warned Monsignor Charles Scicluna, the "promoter of justice" of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, as if there was a kind gradation of punishment where souls burn for the separation from God if Dante's Inferno were present, they would be put in the group of lustful or traitors. However, we wish to stress that the Holy Father's reaction was strong and determined. There are no more and no discounts or transfers of seat covers. Benedict XVI's suffering is intense for the sins of the Church, which requires full compliance with the teaching Gospel, as consistent and faithful, chaste love towards men, especially the most vulnerable. The conversion of the Church is a subject of great topicality. It too is called to convert, to assume the role of the Good Samaritan, getting rid of those of the Pharisee and the Levite or the wolf in sheep's clothing. As written by the greatest living exorcist, Father Gabriele Amorth, even in the Church there is a smell of sulfur. I said, causing some surprise, Paul VI also many years ago.
But, that said, we do not understand why no similar fuss media have been raised for similar terrible incidents that happened in other religions. Not fully comprehend why has been trawled in the life of Benedict XVI and even in that of John Paul II, in search of scoops of elements from which they could be inferred's infidelity, an action designed to systematically cover the misdeeds of some shady characters. We do not talk of conspiracy, there look good, but a tendency to demonize the whole Church for the sins of some, to launch strikes from the bottom up, the blind, making the whole lump. It is a dangerous operation and the outcome unpredictable.
But not all evil comes to harm. This is a time to free weights and weights, take new paths, to separate as much as possible, the wheat from the chaff, even if the weeds is the color of purple. Humanity is in need of positive examples, to believe that God loves through the selfless love of Christian men and women. Revealing the infinitely good God is up to each Christian. Otherwise we will see a flight not only from the Church, but the very idea of \u200b\u200ba merciful and loving God. There would be more disastrous outcome of this.

Enounce Myspeed Licence
RUVO May 9 AND FORGET THE ALDO MORO
Dear Director,
start by saying that he was brought up politically in the school of Aldo Moro from seventeen when I joined the Youth Movement of DC My father was a follower of the first hours, appreciating as political, cultural and human, not unconnected with the Christian witness, tough and honest, also emerged in the terrible days of his detention in prison of the people of the Red Brigades. With my mother were at his house, in via dei Fori triumphant in Rome, also well many years ago. I described a house without ostentation, common, and a simple and family friendly. In my office, next to my desk, there is a photo of Moro in Ruvo early 70s of previous century. The next are Trisorio Liuzzi, Francesco Anselmi, unforgettable political secretary of the DC, the Hon. Laforgia, I had the pleasure to review a few days ago. Behind him you can see the Hon. Dell'Andro and one of the men his escort, Oreste Leonardi, who is murdered that terrible March 16, 1978 in Via Fani.
When I read his writings and speeches, I find that ability to analyze the political situation there was in him, his vision, foresight and, in many ways, prophetic. Described in a recent book of Pansa, "The dear departed," as convoluted and incomprehensible, Moro had in fact a subtle and complex dialectic, not for taste or highbrow to muddy the waters, but because the exercise of thinking and of thinking is complex, it is not easy. Overall yes, then, but not overwhelming. The reality, especially that of today, is varied and articulated; politics, which is an exercise of realism, it reflects the joint, the complexity of relations and relationships, interests and demands. But there was in him even as the Utopia foreshadowing of a new phase of history and social emancipation from the ballast that was inherited from the past and weights. His reflections on the '68 - which was not all roses - were not cutting or claiming a return to order and severity, often in front of a world long gone, who survive in certain pockets of Italian society, but open by comparison, attentive to signs of the times, which were read and decrypted with intelligence and free-spirited and open.
Moro was not a traditionalist nor a conservative. Simply because the Christian can not be, as a child of the One who makes all things new. With Ruvo Moro had a very close relationship, which is renewed at each election and each time the country needed assistance to rise from the economic point of view. It would be a very long list of public works carried out thanks to his interest. But
Ruvo struggles to remember public, as seems to have forgotten another of his great benefactor, Senator. Jannuzzi Onofrio. I regret that political parties should keep alive the memory and teaching have passed unnoticed on May 9, in which we commemorate Moro and all victims of terrorism, including those of terror as the Sicilian Mafia Peppino Impastato, killed the same day he was killed Moro. I am sorry for one simple reason, because young people, especially those who want to get involved in politics will be increasingly deprived of cultural and moral reference points, spurred by the empty talk of the current national political class that, with few exceptions, does not offer a performance particularly edifying, or rather a show with showgirls, corrupt and escort. Remember Aldo Moro, Salvino, Tommaso Fiore, Berlinguer and others, with appropriate events, it is an exercise of rhetoric or a display of old stuff and silverware to the family, to give it a shine, but a moment of reflection on content of politics and life, what it means to do politics to serve people and communities. Without culture, we said Renato Dell'Andro, no politics. There's just improvisation and clumsiness, uncoordinated actions and breathless.
Dear Editor, is a low relief that I commend you and the dense crowd of Ruvo live, certain that I echo the thoughts and concerns of many members of the center ruvese parties that have approached me and with whom I talked at length. My hope is that we understand that only airing our cultural roots will be able to foster a real change in a more human and civil politics, both locally and national level.
accept my compliments.

How Old To Get Into Winstar
Don Tonino Bello, a lover of Christ and friend of men
Seventeen years ago, April 20, 1993, Don Tonino blew, leaving indelible marks of his passage on this earth of Puglia and in the Church of the Diocese and beyond. His teaching is not so much in his words read like poetry and incisive, as in his gestures and acts, in his behavior, authentic witness of Christ's love for the poor, the last, the forgotten, the oppressed by the many structures sin that suffocate the man and they killed the hope in a time isaitico, a time of peace, the final eclipse of evil, of glorification of the good and the beautiful, the victory of fatherhood and motherhood of God on the tricks and deceptions of the Antichrist, who weaves patterns of suffocating death.
Don Tonino was a defender of human life, actor and star of battles for the job, for the resurrection of young people duped by the lure of drugs that give pleasure without pain and then being infinite, for the defense of Apulia by military occupation tested with air and deadly. He was champion of policies with a human face, merciful, addressing many politicians (and unheard) appeals to take care of the weakest parts of the city and hurt them.
He turned to his priests the tenderness of a father, inviting them to embrace evangelical poverty in view of the preciousness of the kingdom of God, to dispose of ritual without soul to share the ordinariness of everyday life, to go down head-on in the squares and streets do not work proselytize, but to do good, from which they come credibility, trust, faith and God's renewed desire
The new evangelization of Don Tonino concerned about the veracity of personal testimony. Evangelize, in other words, it means to be Christian rather than call themselves Christians, according to the penetrating discussion of Cardinal Tettamanzi. The faithful interpreter of Vatican II, was published at the pastoral expectations and hopes it raised, dotted with the new spring freshness, cleanliness, love, openness to the world they bring healthy men and women imbued with the power of the Holy Spirit which, if accepted, makes all things new. Not to mention what is shaking the Church, called to purify and convert to the miseries of a few that are passed off as a lack of a multitude, with Don Tonino, mindful of his message, his gestures, we are called upon to interpret a diversity that has never distance from the things of the world, but yeast and ferment a renewed awareness of and sensitive, refractory selfishness, that challenges the minds and hearts of those who are seeking the truth and a meaning to their life.
