Crucifix, all is not right
I would say my feelings about the ruling of the European Court on the crucifix in schools. The sentence is unexceptionable: Once jurisdiction over the matter, the Court could not decide so, because there was no question the usefulness, relevance, significance, religious or civil, the crucifix, the positive or negative perception of children, largely unaware of Christianity, may have a man "hanging on the cross naked, humiliated and killed, and so exposed for all to see. Not on this issue in the proceedings and not on this is expected to develop the debate on the decision, the reasons to hate the one or the other, as I have seen in newspapers even friends. The decision concerns the obligation, imposed by the State to put the crucifix in classrooms, as it says the Strasbourg Court "exposure a mandatory symbol of a given religion "in the context of a function is run by the government. It is clear that this obligation, arising out of royal decrees and circulars fascist imposed on the crucifix with the portrait of King, are opposed to all principles of the modern rule of law, the provisions of the Constitution, the European Convention, and maybe even the conciliar Declaration Dignitatis Humanae on religious freedom.
However I would say my sense of sorrow for what happened and even more for what can happen.
First I am sorry to activate the process in its various phases, with undeniable tenacity, was a mother of two children who is also a member of the Union Rationalist Atheists and Agnostics (Uaar), which suggests that in addition to the defense of two children from unwanted religious interference, including the grounds of appeal there was a more general ideological interest.
I also regret that the Italian administrative courts and the government have been so myopic, both in substance and in the grounds in rejecting the applicant's reasons (as would have been enough reason to give the Constitution), to cause the ' appeal to the Strasbourg Court, and therefore call into question even the Human Rights Convention, certain relevant legal text, but rather out of proportion when you consider how many and which human rights are violated with impunity and excruciatingly in the world, and compression near zero, for which, the presence of crucifixes in classrooms inflicts human rights of children who are forced to view it.
I also regret that Italy, in a home as significant as the Strasbourg Court has shown the lowest degree to which the law came in view of the government of our country, putting in the grounds of his memory defensive, "the need to find a compromise with the parties of Christian inspiration, which at best is an inherent right to political politician, that is in power, not law.
But above all I regret that, with recognition by all that there is no state religion, and that can not be imposed on all the symbolic representation of a single confession, there is a call to say that the crucifix should be maintained because it would have ceased to be a religious symbol, and instead would be "a symbol of the Italian State," "a symbol of Italian history and culture," a sign "of the Italian identity", "a banner of the Church Catholic, the only one - pointed to the Administrative Tribunal of Venice - to be named in the Italian Constitution "and indeed, in the Council of State, the cross would become a secular value of the Constitution and represent the values \u200b\u200bof civic life. As rightly said third intervened in the proceedings at Strasbourg (an organization for the implementation of the principles of Helsinki), this position is offensive to the Church. "
This position is in fact an atheist, but devoted, and tend to gain the benefits of religion as a civil religion. And I say the truth: if the crucifix became the flag of an identity, nationalism, a racist, a religious struggle, and if his defense had to be placed in the hands of the Gasparri Calderoli or Pear, the League or Villa Certosa, and ceased to be the memory of a God who became man, to make men divine, and who "having loved his own until the end" was accepted by his executioners the fate of the victims, and continues to climb all scaffolds erected by power, money from and war, then I would not see more than a crucifix in my life.
And I'm sorry that this dispute has finally kicked off by a legal regulation, rule against rule against debt elimination. The law can not operate that way, and what was required before it can render unlawful today. But I think that not only the written law, there are customs, there is a common culture, which slowly changes, that yesterday was "Christian", is now an agnostic, tomorrow will be secular, you can grow processes, without charges and without bottlenecks, accompanying with the variation of educational proposals, the life-worlds, cultures widespread ethnic groups co-present the changes in the shapes and symbols by which a society represents itself. It is said that all change must take place all at once and all over the country, such as when only one signal was reversed portraits of the king and the symbols of fascism.
I do not think that what is lacking today in Italy is the resurgence of a religious conflict, an ideological war. Of course the government would like, because it would yet another way to divert attention, to remain exempt from the assessment on the disaster produced by its actual policies.
If I were to say how, I would say that the state require schools to stop the crucifix, and non-appealable Strasbourg, claiming that the Church not the obligation, much less as a symbol of identity and roots, rather than as a symbol of salvation, and to have not run into the arms of government, and that with common sense, according to the traditions and the needs of places, there is a consensus among parents, pupils and teachers on leave or remove the cross. The last thing that God wants a slave who is suspended, is to bring the anxiety, hostility and the conflict in places where a generation is choosing, and perhaps only suffering, its future.

recreation center "Virtus" a deal worth millions of euro?
Francesco Esposito Rifondazione
few years the "Virtus Don Roncagli sports center," the only green area exists in our center, it will disappear. Once again prevailed in Castelfranco Emilia interests of a few to the detriment of the interests of the community. In this case, the lion's share have made the mall Coop "The Magnolias" and the parish. Some years ago, in a committee to advise planning, presented the competent assessor informed us that the Parish of Castelfranco, had asked the City Council a plot of land on which to build a new parish center, as the core sports "Virtus", could no longer meet the needs of new citizens who had chosen Castelfranco as a city in which to live. Faced with this request and these reasons, I had no objection, the Church, with its social and charitable organizations, in many cases compensate for the lack of services that should be made by public bodies. So it was that the city administration put at the disposal of the parish area of \u200b\u200babout 10,000 / 11,000 square meters in the district "crescent", without asking a single cent. In that committee, however, the commissioners were not told that the sports center Virtus would then be sold by the Coop Parish, so that it could expand the mall, if there was a 'complete information, I would have kept the same behavior. A public administrator may not lend itself to certain operations, can not give to an institution, although worthy, 10.000/11.000 square meters of land, can not change the intended use of an area of \u200b\u200b15,000 square meters (now Virtus) actually promoting the sale of the Coop and Parish. I understand that in Italy The Catholic Church has already held enough consideration: With optics per thousand it receives each year by the Italian government over a billion euro, in addition to the Municipalities Act contribute to the costs of renovation or restoration of buildings of worship, making available all years, to the parishes that request it, seven percent of the revenue burden of secondary infrastructure. Then there are the conventions with the guidance of Catholic private schools, which provide municipal funding, and finally there is a deficit of € 112 million pension fund of the clergy that Italian citizens, every year, are called to swell. That is why, despite not understanding the strategy of Coop, I struggle to understand more the behavior of the parish: one wonders why it is paid to the real estate transaction. This brings to mind the debate that monothematic several months there in the country: foreign / security. I will not respect or how you addressed the issue of security in Castelfranco nor how they are dealt with issues related to the foreign population that lives in our community, I'm just saying, or are you comfortable or not. I would urge all those who now oppose the construction of the Mosque spike the dinner and explain why their views on the operation "Virtus-Town Council - Parish - Coop. This country already in the past showed signs of intolerance towards those who profess a belief different from the Catholic religion. About twenty years ago 'is the same problem, although in a less virulent today, for the Kingdom Hall (the hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, for instance). This group of people, despite the intolerance of some, has produced at its own expense, a meeting place where their religious beliefs and I am not aware that in all these years never happened something noteworthy. I wrote earlier that I do not understand the strategy of Coop: I state that they have no concept of economy and no knowledge of how to organize a commercial network, yet still try reasoning down to earth. In the town of San Cesario, there is a shopping center Coop just realized that apparently has not taken off because, unlike other centers Coop, does not make the lunch break. A Coop Piumazzo already exists but is expected to make one of the largest ballroom near Kiwi. Castelfranco A few years ago, after much debate, is approved, the shopping center Familia: you can imagine the volume of 'business and this center has removed from the Coop. If we add that to everything around the neighborhood "Crescent" is in preparation for the construction of a new Conad, I wonder what you plan to make Castelfranco. Today, our town has about 31 thousand inhabitants of the Municipal Structural Plan (SGP) provides an increase in population until a36 thousand inhabitants, allowing the economic crisis, I believe they will spend about 20 years before they will be able to have an increase of 5 000 new citizens. If the things I have described a foundation I wonder and I ask you: you are planning the death of trade in the old town? Trade associations and merchants themselves have nothing to say about it? Finally there is the conduct of the 'Municipal Administration which should favor the interests of the community, should involve the citizens to express their opinions and suggestions, interest income projects be they cultural, sports, urban planning etc.. A Castelfranco rather you do everything with discretion, especially when there are many interests at stake. In Bologna, the town council has engaged in a national plan for redevelopment of the fruit and vegetable market. Megalattico The project was discussed with the public, with the parish of the district, with the Arch and the neighborhood committee. The castelfranchesi instead on the design of an area of \u200b\u200b15,000 square meters, have a right to know anything. Yet Bologna is only 25 km from Castelfranco. I have finally granted, after some brief comments, some questions to the Mayor and the Board. With this operation, the parish received free land for the construction of the new parish center and produced several million euro from the sale of "Virtus" and the Coop will expand the mall and probably "suffocate" the merchants of Old Town. I'm missing is where the public interest in this. Mayor and the Board know that Castelfranco lacks sports facilities? Know that sports club Virtus asked on several occasions the construction of new facilities? These directors can kindly explain to me how they plan to raise the money needed to build new sports facilities, when the center "Virtus" will disappear?
