Here offer to your attention the letter of communion and liberation on the decision of the European Court of "banish" the crucifix from the classroom.
The ruling by the European Court of Human Rights against the
crucifixes in classrooms has caused a stir of protest rightly
almost all Italians - 84% according to a survey delCorriere della Sera - have outraged the
decision.
"And who do you say I am?". This question of Jesus to his disciples
reaches us from the past and challenges us now.
QuelCristo on the crucifix is \u200b\u200bnot a relic of popular piety to which you can feed
, almassimo, a devout recollection. Not
is not a generic symbol of our tradition of social and cultural
.
Christ is a living man, which led nelmondo an opinion, a new experience
, which has to do with all: to study and work, with the affections and desires
, with life and Lamorte. Experience of humanity accomplished.
crucifixes can be removed, but can not be removed from reality
a living man. Except for the kill, as it happened, but then it is more
live before! It
deceive those who want to remove the crucifixes, if they think they contribute so
to erase from the "public space" Christianity as an experience and
rating: if it is in their power-but is yet to be verified and we are confident that
denied - remove the crosses, it is not the Christians live
loromani remove from reality.
But there is a drawback that we Christians can not be ourselves,
forgetting what Christianity is, then it would defend the crucifix
a losing battle, because the man would not say anything to our lives.
The European verdict is a challenge to our faith. For this reason we can not go quietly
the usual things, after outraged protests,
avoiding the fundamental question: yes crucified, crucified no, where
diCristo the event today? Or in the words diDostoevskij "
A cultured man, a European of today may believe, really believe,
the divinity of the Son of God, Jesus Christ?".
