Catholic Church Membership Form Template

De Profundis

yesterday La Stampa Lucia Annunziata says the de Profundis on say the piece is titled "Why go to Family Day" and tells why is right for the Italian left, especially for one that is heir to the tradition of Togliatti, to participate in that event.
In fact even before the De Profundis was not much to be happy, because all the signals going in the opposite direction to find in the Parliament a draft agreement between the political forces on this reform had already understood that the parties the far left would not exercise (and not the exercise) their right of veto on DICO as has been done on foreign policy and the financial and share what we know and libertarian reformist minority in the parliament and is shy. Today Annunziata had the honor to explain why the DS, Most of this majority can not afford to go on a collision course with the Catholic hierarchy.
The journalist draws in the whole tradition, and even the rhetoric, the Communist family, using arguments that, from my perspective, are limited to two really important things: a context and a political perspective. That is in the context of this phrase: "the heat of battle with the Church moved the tone of extremism I say about homosexual" and the outlook is in the last words of the article: "... the law say it has become infinitely more important what is the reality of the country for its symbolic meaning. But for the public good, is it not found the opportunity to build around a principle of a shared identity, perhaps built up over time, but much broader? Recent polls on the declining popularity of the government's claim that I say you play a big role: Is this not a warning? "
Mind you, I think the Annunziata not far wrong in his analysis: basically just says that Italy is not ready for this step, and perhaps it is better to return and" help the companies grow, "[the quotes is mine] on these issues. Too bad that we do not dwell on the causes of this drama, why the Church has no civil unions of the last resort of the battle for the preservation of Christian society on earth.
What bothers is that resurrect the Communist rhetoric about the family, when in reality they just wanted to say that "Paris is worth a mass." This suggest that, after all, they are "homosexual extremists" when we are faced with a request to approve a law that define reform is almost a gamble.
short, the article proclaimed by heading to the belly of a part of the Italian left, which, after all, without having the courage, you're tired of the history of say, are fed up, sees no reason to pull the rope more and prefers to give evidence of his weakness without even having the courage to go through.
Sure, I say, perhaps, they did lose a few tenths of a point to appeal to this government, but I defy anyone to prove that the participation of the DS and the Margherita party in the event of Piazza San Giovanni will be able to recover this gap.

remains the problem of the position of the Italian gay and lesbian movement on this issue. In particular, I believe that it is not easy task of the next Congress Arcigay, as is made between the anvil of a left that the homosexual issue is becoming tiresome, and the hammer of a clerical hierarchy that playing the card of victimhood, managed to impose his point of view the majority of this parliament and, perhaps, if we leave more space, even the majority of the country.

How To Regulate Fire In Wood Stove

SAY ABOUT THE BEST ITALIAN SON CATHOLIC CHURCH OF THEM?

BUT IT 'ITS TRUE THAT THE BEST ITALIAN SON OF THEIR CLASS POLITICS AND THE CATHOLIC HIERARCHY? The survey

Demos Eurisko, La Repubblica reported today and commented on by Ilvo Diamonds, will certainly have done open the champagne at home Ruini since 2003 has grown on average by 10% the percentage of Italians who came close to most locations hierarchy on the primacy of religion Catholic, on the recognition of civil unions, the relationship between religion and state, about the acceptability of homosexual relations and feedback on dizorzio.
who closely observes the Catholic Church and its communication (at least one expressed by IEC) knows that this is not the result of chance, but is part of a strong long-term strategy that has its start in the Third Assembly of the Church of Palermo ( November 1995) and in the realization of "Project-oriented cultural Christian" was launched in 1997 by the Secretariat of the CEI. The "Cultural Project" is the main instrument of intervention in society's mind Ruini gave birth in the wake of extraordinary communication revolution made by Pope John Paul II. The church has understood that to counter their marginal position in mainstream social and cultural development of the West must use the tools of modern communication in large numbers and their full potential. So it was, and here come the first results. We
consulates to date with the claim that the Italians are more progressive in their political class and Catholic on ethically sensitive issues, and that the church has unleashed a merciless battle just because you feel minority in Italy and worldwide, unable to influence elite and the masses on all major social issues. We forget, however, that minorities have a strength and a vitality that majorities have no more, and that in the society of global communication is not the case that can not happen, even in fast times, social changes of some importance, one way or another.
If we compare the efforts of those who seek a campaign, for example, recognition of unions in fact, the strength, determination, the clarity and ruthlessness (think for example the story of the referendum on the law on artificial insemination and the position the CIS) who reaffirms the principles of traditional morality, is almost laughable considering the absolute difference in means in the field. If it is not enough
generalist television (Just think of the influence that television dramas have had to make homosexual behavior acceptable in the eyes of the National People's Italian audience) to forever change the trend of our society there is little to be happy. It is high time therefore to review in depth the way we plan the campaign for reform of family law (this is about whether you are requesting recognition of de facto unions, even if you can not say ... )? You think that the face of those who want to say is up to the challenge that was launched? Both in terms of investment on this theme, the awareness of the reasons for their positions? I say once again, we must learn as much from the church, despite all its contradictions and maybe no hope of victory, is fighting to claim what he believes. Faced with so much commitment and genuine "faith", I see only a growing embarrassment to defend the recognition of de facto unions and legitimacy, the naturalness of homosexual behavior. I hope I'm wrong.

How To Pump Thr Boobs

DICO PARADOXES

I hope that the demonstration of 10 March in Rome, and the way in which the print media has portrayed the next day has finally opened the eyes of all who believe in the need for recognize rights to de facto unions. Mind you, I believe that the demonstration was necessary and that it has reached at least three of its goals:
  1. support those in government and in Parliament, genuinely believe in the necessity of this reform, and this was needed;
  2. create unity of purpose between the souls of the movement, which has the extraordinary view of the absolute failure of the proposed government and the chronic, lifelong litigation;
  3. propose to the general public the reasons for the need to ensure equal opportunities for unmarried couples.

But in the square we had the usual suspects, and the press the next day, more or less, gave ample room for a transgression that was not there, making heroes for a day Mastella and the Catholic hierarchy nell'inedita role of victims.

In other words, with the event we have not made any real progress, in fact we measured once more the extent of our actions, for many reasons, failed to go beyond the circle of political forces on which we already know they can count.

This result is not attributable to the will of the organizers of the event was just doing it, and it could only do so, but we must face certifying that a reality, without a shadow of further denial, the very low possibility that the House adopt what little rights that the proposed government plans. Possibility of further decline after the next event clerical-Catholic in favor of the traditional family, where of course there will be tens of thousands of people and politicians from all sides.

What to do? I am among those who think politics is to build as possible, not to dream the impossible, and this is why, despite being among the signers of the manifesto for equal rights ( www.matrimoniodirittogay.it ) turandomi and not just the nose, I think I SAY I'm the best that the Italian company now makes. I am not among those who think that we should reject even this possibility, among them those (and frankly I do not see many) who hope in the next Parliament ...

The paradox that we did not want to face, taken the day of the electoral vote, is that in this term of our key stakeholders should have been the forces of the center-right, or at least those in that group showed more open positions on the recognition day rights of de facto unions. Was not this the only alternative to the enormous veto power that a handful of senators from the center-left loyal to the dictates of the Catholic hierarchy do you have? Was not this the alternative strategy (winning, because winning ...!) Of Margaret, who played like a cat and mouse, reducing month after month value and importance of the proposed government?

The trouble is that the margins to work towards involving parts of the facility right now are slim. The plaintive appeals for freedom of conscience and dialogue with shyness that some members of the center-left to launch the center-right is not likely to be the manifestation of a serious and transparent strategy, but only the first step of an action of unhooking the same parties in the proposed of DICO. Groped for a way to shift the blame for the failure the Parliament and political parties that compose it.

The paradox that we face today, however, is that we do not have other speakers that the same people who have followed us up here: it is to them that we have to ask parliament to work seriously to create the consensus necessary to adopt this reform. Work seriously and believe it means, get involved, go beyond the limits of majority, to make a genuine parliamentary lobbying serious cross, ready to talk, and then to mediation. Retrieve the error that he wanted to force the hand of Parliament (where they already knew that there was no majority) with a government proposal and start over from scratch, with an agreement between the parties sitting in parliament.

I know that this is the most difficult: I do not see any on the horizon "Vicenza" for civil unions, no real forcing in the direction of approving those forces I say that is that until today (RC, PDCI, GREEN ) gained more from this government.

The only thing we need today is the limit, right and left, which also thrive abundant among Italian gay (maybe a little 'less between lesbians and trans). Those who instead of looking for what the Italian reality watching the moon and not the finger, take refuge in the usual controversy hegemonies and ghostly against antidemocraticità Arcigay, or if they laugh because 'the government of the left does not lead to any concrete result on home soil for the rights and secularism.
There is little to laugh, very little.
