Those who thought that the change at the top of the CEI to bring a change of course on ethical issues is an illusion. Consistent with its age-old positions, Ruini's successor, Archbishop Bagnasco, no day passes without releasing any statements. Consistent with the doctrine of the Church is saying, not to say, as has been said the concert of May 1, that the Church has not evolved in 2000 years. The point that the lack of "evolution" of the Church is a direct consequence of its nature as a bearer of dogmas, absolute truths in the sense of the disjointed time. It should not surprise that the Church does not fit into society, quite different, as historical product, and those in which the original Christian message originated and spread, but can not even surprising that disputes do not agree to your message, as shown by Two recent cases of the concert on May 1 and the transmission of Year Zero Santoro. As for the concert, the statements by the presenter, as alien to the spirit of the event, were branded by the church hierarchy as "terrorism", a term that can only appear inappropriate in the context of an event at work, hit hard by terrorism in recent decades, the real one. "Terrorism" is to express an opinion "against those who always speaks in the name of love, love for life and love for man" as he wrote the Osservatore Romano on the matter. And today's declarations against say, Archbishop Bagnasco adds the alarm to the impoverishment of the Italian family. Meanwhile, political attempts to follow the bipartisan (Landolfi and Fassino) not to broadcast a video of the BBC on pedophilia clerical by Santoro and Mentone. These facts show the church to move in two opposite trends: the inability, or rather the unwillingness to respect the democratic rules, making it feel (rightfully) his voice, but also hindering the same freedom of expression that uses be used by others criticizing positions or behaviors. On the other hand, the constant reminder of the original Christian message, love for others, solidarity with the weakest. It 's a contradiction that is part of the Church as an institution, a power that took away from the Gospel message. So maybe the chance for the Church to overcome the crisis is that the afflicting anathematizing atheism, relativism, politics, or against opinions allowed in a democratic state, but return to its original vocation, love and solidarity. From solidarity to the people as such, the choice to live together is in some cases dictated by the poverty that Bagnasco notes. Or know how to put people before ideology.
