Tough call to Catholic politicians
Casarsa. In the document approved in the parish is invited to reflect on choices made by the Region
The pastoral council calls for more courage in the diocesan weekly
CASARSA. It is titled "Doubts, concerns and choices consistent with the Gospel," the document approved by the parish pastoral council Casarsa. An act that calls for some reflection on the choices made by the Region and in general the current situation. "We were disappointed - it reads - to learn that, in economic crisis, the regional directors have increased expenses. All agree, but four members of the opposition and a majority. " In the focus the policies on immigration and the decision to close their clinics for foreigners staying temporarily. "This is a painful and incomprehensible gesture - the report says - especially if you consider that these clinics have very low costs, largely covered by volunteer doctors and Caritas." According to the pastoral council "are facts that we do not leave anyone indifferent, both as Christians and as citizens. You can not use real inconvenience, as the difficulties involved in a non-simple integration between different ethnic groups, to inject venom, even speculating on the state of crisis. We can not dismiss it just because Christians have crucifixes in the house and cribs, and then not put into practice the most basic teachings of the Gospel. " Faced with what is happening Casarsa pastoral council considers that it should react, as indicated by the bishops in the document "For a united country", that "It's going down the attention, the evil is swallowed, no longer responds, there is lack of positive culture and there is a superabundance of lawlessness. " "How do you say Catholic politicians who support these measures - is requested document - thus inconsistent with the gospel? Turano is the nose and close their eyes because they prefer the "chair" and the power of consistency and justice? Those practicing Christians who support them with their vote share, perhaps this trend? ". The pastoral council believes it is essential for Christians to maintain an attitude of "reflective, critical and documented" and will use this tool for the Sunday bulletin and meetings with 'experts and credible witnesses. We'd love - writing - that the diocesan weekly would be more courageous and incisive. "
