Those walls hung with crucifixes ...
Jesus was judged - Two thousand years ago - by the various courts of his time. And we decided what the "justice" at the time.
Today the European Court in Strasbourg has ruled that schools leave exposed the picture of innocence murdered by the "human justice" violate religious freedom.
E 'was noted that, if anything, the crucifix reminds us all of what is human justice and what is the power and is therefore a great symbol of secularism (yes, secularism) and free (one wonders if the ancients Judges of Jesus would be happy or unhappy with a ruling today the gates image that of their "judicial error" or better than their horrible injustice).
But calmly discuss the reasons for the decision today: the crucifix in classrooms, say the judges, is "a violation of the right of parents to educate their children according to their convictions" and a violation of "freedom of religion of the pupils ".
Regarding the first objective reason that this is quite right of parents affected by state legislation that does not give freedom of education and who may use public schools for ideological indoctrination.
The second reason is even more absurd. The crucifix on the wall does not impose anything on anyone, but is the symbol of our history. A similar ruling is first rejected for lack of historical sense, that is, cultural awareness, nullifying the question as it comes to schools. Apparently unaware of what is the history and culture of our people.
For consistency the courts should also make clear the Christmas school holidays (two weeks) and Easter (one week), because it violates religious freedom.
According to this ruling, the very existence of our two thousand years of tradition and faith of our people (90 per cent who voluntarily choose the time of the Catholic religion) sono di per sé un “attentato” alla libertà altrui.
I giudici di Strasburgo dovrebbero esigere la cancellazione dai programmi scolastici di gran parte della storia dell’arte e dell’architettura, di fondamenti della letteratura come Dante (su cui peraltro si basa la lingua italiana: cancellata anche questa?) o Manzoni, di gran parte del programma di storia, di interi repertori di musica classica e di tanta parte del programma di filosofia.
Infatti tutta la nostra cultura è così intrisa di cristianesimo che doverla studiare a scuola dovrebbe essere considerato – stando a quei giudici – un attentato alla libertà religiosa. In lingua ebraica the letters of the word "Italy" means "island of the dew of God": we want to erase the name of our country not to offend atheists? And the national anthem that calls to God?
Even the street of our city (Piazza del Duomo, Via San Giacomo, Piazza San Francesco) has to be upset? Even the appearance (we love) of vineyards and hills of Umbria and Tuscany - as explained Franco Rhone - is due to the history of Christian and a Catholic sense of the seasons: we want to delete them also?
not all. As suggested by Alfredo Mantovano, "if a crucifix in a classroom School is distressing and discrimination, even more so that the Dome 'lies' in Milan or the Holy House of Loreto, which everyone sees from the Bologna-Taranto: The European Court of Human Rights will require the removal both? "
Lords judges, you must have a comprehensive plan for demolition, which should also be part as well as hospitals and universities (beginning with that of Oxford), mostly born from the bosom of his Church?
Finally (sweep away the Magna Charta, and the great St. Thomas School of Salamanca) should also demolish democracy and equal rights (Beginning with the Strasbourg Court) literally gave birth and legitimacy (international law) from the Catholic theology and Christian history?
The Italian Constitution - based on the notions of "human person" and "intermediate" (communities that stand between individuals and state) - is steeped in Catholic thought. Delete them also as an attack on freedom of those who are not Catholic?
And Europe? The very existence of Europe is due to Christian history, not least because without the Pope and Christian kings in the Pyrenees first, then at Lepanto and Vienna, Europe was swept via becoming an Islamic caliphate.
will say that I exaggerate the crucifix to tie all this. But there is a historical rebuttal. In fact, were the two monsters of the twentieth century - Nazism and communism - a first groped to sweep away the crucifixes from classrooms and European history.
hated the innocent Son of God slain on the cross, were bloodthirsty persecutors of the Church and the Jewish people (the two peoples of Jesus) who was martyred in every way and were absolute enemies (and destruction) of democracy and human rights 'man (as well as Europe's Christian culture and civilization).
The Nazis came to power just unleashed the so-called "War of the crucifix" in which he attempted to remove the walls of schools Germanic image of Jesus crucified.
not put up with the Jew, the son of Mary, and wanted to replace the cross of the Son of God, the one hooked, the esoteric symbol of their gods of blood and strength. So did the communism which attempted to eradicate Christ from history itself.
If modern European democratic institutions are founded on the defeat of totalitarianism in the twentieth century, it would not be even the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg held that the tragedy of the twentieth century was the result of ideologies that hated the crucified (and tried to eradicate it), and their millions of victims are found precisely meant by the Crucified?
no coincidence that it was a Jewish writer Natalia Ginzburg, to take up the defense when the crucifix - in the eighties - there was another attempt to erase the classroom: "Do not remove the crucifix" was the title of his article .
wrote:
"the crucifix does not generate any discrimination. Silent. And 'the image of the Christian revolution, which has spread to the world the idea of \u200b\u200bequality among men hitherto absent. The revolution cristiana ha cambiato il mondo. Vogliamo forse negare che ha cambiato il mondo? (…) Dicono che da un crocifisso appeso al muro, in classe, possono sentirsi offesi gli scolari ebrei. Perché mai dovrebbero sentirsene offesi gli ebrei? Cristo non era forse un ebreo e un perseguitato, e non è forse morto nel martirio, come è accaduto a milioni di ebrei nei lager? Il crocifisso è il segno del dolore umano”.
La Ginzburg proseguiva:
“Non conosco altri segni che diano con tanta forza il senso del nostro umano destino. Il crocifisso fa parte della storia del mondo… prima di Cristo nessuno aveva mai detto che gli uomini sono uguali e fratelli tutti, ricchi e poveri, credenti e non believers, Jews and non-Jews and blacks and whites, and no one before him had said that in the center of our existence we have place the solidarity among human beings ... It seems to me that the good guys, the kids, they know right from the desks of school ".
With all due respect we hope that we learn and the courts. "The crucifix is \u200b\u200bpart of world history," writes the Ginzburg.
Finally, the cross is the biggest exorcism against evil. In fact, the crucifix is \u200b\u200bnot to need to stay on our walls, but the opposite. As one verse of a song by Gianna Nannini: "These crucifixes hanging on the walls ...." Literally everything collapsed without him, we are all in danger.
This will erase the walls and in the end - as in Saudi Arabia - could also prohibited from wearing the symbol at the neck, but no one can stop take it to heart. And this is the choice of underwear each. The more important.
