The coming of Joseph Ratzinger in Palermo - the pope of the Catholic Church, absolute monarch of Vatican City - is one of those things you would rather avoid.
will spend at least two and a half million euro (or five billion old lire) for organizing the event. All public money (especially the Sicilian Region), taken from the pockets of citizens. Christian or not.
Needless to say, what could be done with two and a half million euro. The region could seriously invest in youth work, or training worthy of the name, or you may think about the rehabilitation of trasporti pubblici o alla tutela del territorio.
Anche il Comune farà la sua parte con duecentomila euro. Alla faccia dei disoccupati, dei senza casa, dei poveri, e di una Palermo mortificata dal disagio sociale ed economico.
Tutti questi soldi pubblici – che quando servono per le cose serie non si trovano mai – saranno bruciati in un paio di giorni per rendere onore a un capo di stato (e capo di una religione) che incarna in sé tutta l’ottusità di un potere che impone i suoi valori e le sue regole di comportamento sulla base di pretese e indiscutibili verità assolute.
La Chiesa cattolica – al di là dei papi che si sono succeduti – è un’istituzione che non ammette critica: detta conditions, does morality on others, preaches well and then Razzola bad.
The Church desires that laws are made in His image and likeness, he entered public life in the straight leg influencing the political debate, seeks to impose its vision of the world dispensing anathemas and condemnations against all the "sinners".
And then there's the money, the numerous real estate in Italy (many in Palermo) and in the world, and the enormous amount of money that the Church has through its many tentacles.
are many people, Sunday, October 3, Joseph Ratzinger should be left alone on stage at Foro Italico a desert in an armored city: women judged by priests because decide to abort, the young couples who do not use condoms because the Church says it is sin, the abused children in the twilight of a sacristy; homosexuals treated like the plague; transsexuals insulted as if they were freaks of nature, the workers under the 'main attack which is asked to give up the fight for the rights to the benefit of profit.
Actually, all free men and women should feel offended by the presence in our city's head of an institution as obscurantist and reactionary. An institution that, if he could, would behave just like a few centuries ago, when Marina Square or on the floor of the Cathedral burned pyres Inquisition, and thousands were murdered in the name of religion or, more specifically, for reasons of political and social control.
Sunday, October 3, take back your freedom.
let alone the Pope with his retinue of priests and politicians and let them know that you do not need him and his sermons to live a life worth living.
Because what really can make people happy human beings is the freedom to express themselves fully, sharing with others this freedom, solidarity and equality in a society finally free from all power.
