substantial objection to my previous blog (on the head of the Saint)

Salvatore, a guy I know personally, is my friend southern (like me) and that, by Southern and will certainly have personally experienced many special mold to live their religion (especially the South). So I am happy to have written a very interesting and substantial objection to the previous post about S. Catherine. The following, because he did not succeed (by the way, if you have trouble posting comments contact me on Facebook):

- The exhibition of relics, religious or pagan, has nothing to do with the 'aesthetics: the meaning and importance of a relic is elsewhere, and I believe must be respected, whatever its nature, it would not depart from the faithful. I invite you to be better informed about the millennia of history, especially to understand that the veneration of relics is inherent in the established customs of many peoples, not an event limited to the Christian sphere.
The term "tribal" is not offensive (it is social organization in tribes or at least the culture of the tribal societies ... the point!), What enters the head-hunters with Africa? Another absurd mistake is the confusion between "veneration" and "worship, know that even children of 10 years: in no passage of Scripture there is a prohibition of worship" other gods ", if it were not so, as I explain the proliferation of Madonnas, saints, martyrs and blessed in all of Christianity no one has ever lifted a finger? different is the speech for Muslims, for which we know it is even banned any depiction of the deity.
armed forces: it is not that you bless the army as a body or as a "weapon" to destroy the infidels ... you bless the people who do that work, often life-threatening. useless to stay here to talk about international treaties or the discipline to use force, but in general not think the armed forces only as to those who make war and kill: They are also much more, just think about bodyguards or peacekeepers (which are peacekeeping).
Finally, Jesus did exist and it is a FACT historian, it is not absurd to live in this way, worship ... because no way to live .. no cult is absurd to be accepted and understood, especially those who profess to respect. I wrote a ke does not believe (and certainly has no sympathy for these vivisections cmq in general or to the faith lived in this way). ke the point is your article, despite the end of "open minds" of the faithful and not likely to put the blinders on, everything is written in too narrow a perspective, without knowing what is spoken and especially with the 'only aspiration to criticize (or mock).
ps = I had no time (or desire, especially as we live in two steps) to investigate what I meant and perhaps the way in which I wrote was not clear the target of my criticism. maybe we'll talk closely

--- This is his comment. I obviously would have to answer that, but would wait for a few days the intervention of someone else, then insert my ideas.

Best wishes, Luke

When Catholicism loses his head ... for a head (and not just for that).

I've been to Siena and I recently visited the Basilica of San Domenico.
I wandered to the building in respectful silence (I want to say, more respectful to the people in prayer to the building and its alleged 'landlord').
Anyway, I noticed a group accalcatasi frantically at a particular point of the church. Looking best I saw behind a chapel, complete with iron railings to keep them at arm's length. I then tried to figure out what it was, the obvious interest shown by these tourists and as a special fence surrounding the area. Mystery revealed: it was the case with the head S. Catherine . A true 'chic' of the relic, I have to admit ...

I give you now some information on the sacred head (source: http://www.caterinati.org/luoghi_reliquie.htm)



The head of St. Catherine is the most important relic, preserved in San Domenico. was detached from the body in 1831 at the behest of Pope Urban VI. In the cell of the saint are preserved also bag which held the head, the knob of his stick the saint and the leaning lamp often used (relics of the species 'osmosis', I would say).
For four years the head stays in a closet in the sacristy of the basilica, but then decided to make the right honors in May 1835 led a large procession officially rightful place in the head (which was evidently not the rest of the body, but the chapel built for that purpose).
is not everything, even his finger is stored in San Domenico, with whom he still gives his blessing to the Armed Forces at the international festivals in honor of the saint. Other relics are the
cords with which the holy self-discipline and bronze bust, which held his head for years. Here I quote the site as it is beautiful (!):

"This relic [the finger ], together with cords with which the cabinet and she used to discipline and Siena bronze bust for many years content and protected the head, is preserved in the casket placed in the right wall of the Basilica, case that has now been removed to make room for another, an artist created , the work of the Sienese Sandro Bagnoli, where they will be better placed the finger the other relics of the Holy , this achievement is due to the sensitivity shown by Dr. Laura Martin of the Superintendent of artistic and perseverance of the parish priest Father Scarciglia "

In a church Then there is the Venetian foot of the saint, while in the Cathedral of Siena there is a rib , but has been given (in a spirit of Christian charity, I would say) to a sanctuary in Belgium. That sanctuary for truth , had already possessed a holy relic of Catherine, a throws his shoulder . However, still missing the 'bigwig', or the head in 'bones and bones' of the saint. And so they "cut off the head of the bull", thinking to play well the overseers of the blessed in a small scale and using the wax. As it says on the site, and I quote: "[...] a wax head depicting Santa.

their goodness.

of things to say I have many, but I will be brief, leaving room for comments (I hope many). First, it is aesthetically hideous exposure of a head, especially because it is partially stripped and shows portions of the skin. On the "artistic sensitivity" of the superintendent of the cultural heritage of Siena I speak ...
Secondly, you can never be called 'tribal' the cults of the aborigines, when it advanced into the fantastic and the contemporary Western world we are wonderfully similar to the 'headhunters' in Africa? And then: paganism should not be kept out of the Catholic faith? In the Old and New Testament, to my knowledge, there can be never any call to the worship of idols (or 'pieces' of someone or something). Indeed, far from it.
As for the blessing of the armed forces, imparted with the 'sacred finger' of St. Catherine, I would say first that I'm curious to see this waving of fingers bitten off. And then I note that you are blessing ARMED FORCES, thereby protecting and glorifying the armies, weapons and their use (although in defense of a people). Therefore they are not only legitimate, but even 'reinforced' ideally through the divine protection given by the celebrants, ministers of religion. Frankly I have no time (nor desire) to find the appropriate New Testament passages, but I'm sure Jesus would not have been of the opinion that a sword was 'anointed' God, did not you think?
I appeal to the believers: ABSURD not find this way of living worship, above all, a cult whose exponent is Jesus Christ? Jesus Christ, whether or not there is an absolute figure, however, essential in the history of thought and ethics. And never, never, and would share all other amenities typical of Catholicism. No need to be experts orthodoxy to support what I'm saying. Among the rest I challenge anyone to argue otherwise.

However, the invitation that I address to the faithful is to "use your head" (possibly the your head and not that of the saints).

A hug.

Ps: thanks go to Francesca duty, which I actually did notice the roughness of the head exposed for public veneration. Hence the idea of \u200b\u200bposting on the blog. In addition, she always, I noted a strange phenomenon, she herself named 'relic by osmosis': anything that comes into contact with the holy person or with its organs is considered in turn 'Holy'. Panties are included. Or not?

The "non-believer," this unknown ...

The "non-believer" is a citizen does not necessarily agnostic or atheist or anti-clerical, nor is it unspiritual or not sentimental, nor is hedonistic or cynical or hyperrationality . Non-believers are citizens who respect the laws and ethics of human solidarity and shared responsibly for opting the culture of doubt, the conscious autonomy of conscience and freedom of thought. He is a national fair and transparent and no other masters if not their conscience and their countries and therefore will never be found in dangerous conflict of having to choose between them and the interests of religion and clergy, whatever they may be.
The non-believer can consider valid the message of Jesus, but also recalls that Confucius had said everything there was to say, already 550 years before: "Do not do unto others what you do not want done to yourself."
He feels close to Freud when he argues that "our science is no illusion. It would be illusory to believe that it could obtain from other sources that she is not able to give you."
He thinks, as Locke , that "no claim should be supported with more conviction than that granted by the evidence on which it is based." He feels
Jew near Einstein when he said: "For me the Jewish religion, as well as all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions, and the word" god "is nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness. "
He believes that since the shares Buddhist Dhammapada which states that "the phenomena of reality have the mind as a beginning, as the essence and the mind are made up of mind. All we are is generated by the mind." It is hoped that Stuart Mill was right when he says that "over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign." The non-believer
shudders, Therefore, before the statement of Pius XI : "Jews are dogs and these dogs are too many in our time in Rome, we hear them howling in the streets and disturb us everywhere."
The non-believer believes in rationality and strength of mind and the progress of thought, which is moved, appalled, before the parting words of Piergiorgio Welby : "However good-bye, gentlemen, you do the endless torture the means, the means required for its establishment and defense of your values. " The non-believer
formal notice of beliefs and inherited habit, because - if Nietzsche was right - we need to pay attention to the fact that "the habit is our nature: who is accustomed to believe, believe in everything. "
The non-believer hopes, however, that the absence of God is not a prelude to the abyss, but would like Buddha," that all men to be happy and safe and find the joy within himself "and" do not let that man trapped in different philosophies, but dwells in the moral law and knowledge. "
The non-believer has the luxury (not that luxury is, but it still has the contours of militancy ostracized) to doubt that "the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf may hear, the dead rise again."

Poetry inspired by the thought of Heidegger (written last year)

Hello, I wanted to open the ball with a poem dear to me, written last year. I liked the thought of humbly share with you my modest production. Good reading.

authentic life

The authentic life (so often pierced!)
requires effort, courage, boldness,
was pungent, prickly acacia, today I feel
leaf defeat

Ten gestures, the same every
recall the days of crack
mind but I have never been mine - ever! - For nothing,
not a dog, I'm not going back home ...

preference, your tastes, every practice:
just dance in the absence of the sense
just admit you create an imbalance?
forget it .. does not matter.

Damn ants, between local authorities, to make stocks
busy winter
of two hundred television channels,
views from here are now entertaining

I find myself deaf to the call senseless
She loosed the chain at every sunset
but the dawn I feel ready after
you sleep, I surf excited

Twenty-six-year study horizon
but my binoculars now confuses me
my crew? I lost in the waves:
follow God, the god

dead pet chameleon, misunderstood, betrayed ...
scordan anxiety choosing the crash,
say, "you know .. you live .. Die .. "
credon to win - deluded - the game to survive


Camouflage is not a choice, it is natural instinct
and everybody tries to escape, an animal.
sbranatemi but to me: I'm here to stop writing.

FASCISTELLI OF THE 3000

of Paolo Persichetti

the "Request for correction under Article. 8 L. 47/48. as President and legal representative pro tempore of the Association of Social Promotion CasaPound Italy , I am wary of adjustment King, in the terms and manner of law, the contents of the article "Rome, Italy Young wants to quit after the attack on Radio Onda Rossa," signed by Paolo Persichetti, to which you published in the October 3, 2009, on page 4 , published with the same importance and equal status, the following text: "Please note that it is not correct as reported on page 4 edition of October 3, 2009, in Rome, Italy Young after the attack want to close Radio Onda Rossa ", namely that political action is CasaPound concocted for the sole purpose of ensuring that an associated entry in the PDL in order to stay out" from the games and especially the pie of the money coming from party patronage. " True is, in fact, that political activity, social and cultural association, funded solely from contributions of members, aims to propose a new revolutionary political concept, the Estremocentroalto, and, to this end, the same association is ready to dialogue and discussion with everyone, without prejudice or vulgar childish rulings. " In the absence of your response within the statutory time limits, foreshadowing there right now intend to ask the court to obtain proper protection of the rights of the association. "
Gianluca Iannone

Why deny the obvious so nervous? CasaPound What part of that sixty associations, after a call came in the ranking of the funds allocated last August, with totally anomalous procedure, the presidency of the council of Rome, is a public statement by a resolution to "Cultural activities, sports and folk." Moreover, in a polemic response to the statements made by the mayor Alemanno on the need to renegotiate the "financing" to CasaPound, after a journalist was seen refuse entry to the meeting-discussion with Marcello Dell'Utri on "Diary of the Duce "organized at the headquarters of the Roman Via Napoleone III, the same Iannone had stated that" the victory of a contract "was about. Exactly!
certainly not be the first burning class, it can no longer boast the aristocratic purity of those who claim for themselves "ethic, epic and aesthetics," but it is bent to the plebeian practice of receiving public money, like a normal clientes. For the rest, the coloratura futurist, provocations D'Annunzio, posture superomista, style wild, just move the substance of a political group that agitated all symbols internal to the social block of the right of government and leads the march with brio approaching multi-dialogue with the area of \u200b\u200bthe PDL. Well, we're always there, in the courtyard of the palace, all'Estremocentroalto, as you call it, that is what politics in football has been the "dual zone" Oronzo Canà the legendary, with its revolutionary form 5-5-5, but something that behind the hyperbole of the formula hides a disturbing vision.
"We allow the luxury of being aristocrats and democrats, conservatives and liberals, reactionaries and revolutionaries, and legalistic illegalitari, depending on the circumstances, time, place, environment, in a word" history "in which we are forced to live and act. " He said such in 1922. He also sought positions' gifts, sovereign, beyond the lists of opposites, "he praised" the life as rise, "he guessed" the basis for participation, the decision for selection for height and depth "and refused "Morbid attraction to the formless and the deformed." He also practiced "the Estremocentroalto. His name was Benito Mussolini. Exactly.

Coping with nihilism

E 'nihilistic age, I agree with Galimberti. In the aftermath
Fragments Nietzsche noted that "Nihilism" indicates a lack of 'end', lack of response to 'why?'. The word that describes and announces the highest values \u200b\u200bare losing value . It is said that, a priori it is negative. There are, in my view, values \u200b\u200bthat can and must give way to something else, including the 'nothing'. And since nothing is able to come out with another (perhaps betraying the Nietzschean perspective, which certainly does not advocate a collapse of values \u200b\u200bin favor of other values, which would be just another reflection of the class / dominant culture of the moment).
We believe we have solved all our problems, indeed we believe we wallow in the well-being because we are in the age of technique. However, it has entered into deep conflict with the primacy that the man had assigned to himself in the history of Being. The man was thrown and almost forced to take part. But the questions remain unanswered sense: does not fall within the competence of the technique to find answers to certain questions (which are the most challenging philosophy).
lacking a future as a promise , for various reasons including the collapse of ideology (of the "isms") and a religious culture often routine and blind, but certainly reassuring. The problem however is that the 'death of God' is likely to carry around the death of the 'sense of the sacred' and a healthy spirituality. And this I fear particularly. They are critical of religions and their blindness, are not averse to a sense of spirituality and prayer. Will also speak of this sooner or later, because those around me understand exactly what I mean (And I am not an 'eater' and that's it). We
without future. Here is our desire that will stop this : gratification and feeling good today, better tomorrow if you have no perspective!
who, like me, would like to teach, should be aware that you will face a generation of young people born and bred in this atmosphere of 'lack of roads' and references. If there are, however, seem to be quite ephemeral and objectively unsatisfactory. The lack of a future as a promise makes the deaf to the voice of young parents, and any nsegnanti authorities (police, priests, politicians - the politicians deserve a speech separately).
To this was added that the sad passions and feelings of discomfort, already present in itself, is even amplified by a system (I think that record, for example) in this particularly "sensitive . In the words of Jovanotti, basically, 'says a sign of 6 meters is all around you, but you look around and there's nothing'. So here is that, in the era of communication and the 500 free sms a day we are more alone than ever before in our plasma and LCD in our three-thousand-euro (beat the overtime earned at the factory or office).
Despair, then, is lurking. We try to escape and ran away fast on our All Star from 70 € (a piece of cloth from 70 €). We are discouraged (by corruption and political disillusionment), reservoirs (to spot unnecessary), hammer (from the makers of false needs), obsessed (the status-symbol).
The apocalypse, it is called Bin Laden or the ozone hole appears at the door. This demeans us, how to react?

must regain a sense, humility and enthusiasm all their own. In the face of this world in black and white, I guess.

It 's a long story and ambitious, but I'd like to address it. This blog does not want to heal humanity's problems, but comes in reaction to these feelings of dejection and despair. Write politics, religion, philosophy, music and culture is not simply a way to stay afloat, but it is a way to feel alive . Because, says a gentleman who I met and who wrote a book of aphorisms: "To live is a very difficult thing. Many in fact are happy to be here."

What is this blog?

Hello,
a blog yet. What was? Maybe it's useless, but I want to try writing in the world, me and the humanities. I will discuss religion, politics and philosophy, but nothing is excluded. The philosophy also means beauty, music, poetry, narrative, emotion. I will deal with this too, offering short excerpts from books, magazines and personal reflections (not just mine), on which to pause and reflect and - hopefully - discuss.

Tomorrow metalworkers strike in the contract and democracy and against the silence of the scheme on grounds of work

Giorgio Cremaschi

Tomorrow in Italy will be the largest mobilization of Europe working against the crisis. This fact means, among other things, the 8-hour strike and five events organized by the metalworkers' and proclaimed Fiom. In a sea of \u200b\u200bcrises, which often have to struggle to reach extreme levels for to feel and see, tomorrow Fiom raises the collective action of the working world. It should be an event, instead of the information system has completely erased. There is no comparison with what happens in the rest of Europe, workers' demonstrations on the scale of tomorrow today there are only in Italy, but not talked about. It 'a very serious, which is inevitably beyond the different locations of the mass media, a substantial acceptance of Berlusconi's propaganda on the crisis. Confindustria and the government continue to talk about an end to the crisis, while millions of workers see their deteriorating working conditions and income or have lost or are losing their jobs. All this is erased and anesthetized, so the event tomorrow cries first is the crisis and are fully paying the workers and employees. Perhaps one of the excuses that will be used is that the strike tomorrow is only Fiom. But this should be a reason to talk about it. To speak of the fact that in this social drama CISL and UIL send messages only to resignation and passivity workers. The crisis is there, waiting to pass and meanwhile arrangiamoci and adattiamoci. This message, which is the negation of the fundamental function of the union, apparently like the culture that dominates the information. And so the strike tomorrow, says that first of all just to resignation, is ignored. How do you ignore the shameful abuse that is taking place at the table of the national contract. The Federmeccanica , in agreement with trade unions and the minority in a minority among the workers, wants to impose a new set of rules for everyone, which exacerbates the wages and entitlements. This violation of the most elementary rules of democracy, even in the Italian political system, distorted and sick, would not be allowed. We rejoiced at the ruling of the Constitutional Court, which re-establishes basic principles of law and equality and that makes us say that in Italy the Constitution is not a dead letter. But for the union rights of workers the Constitution is now canceled. Without a vote, without a real consensus, without a democratic verdict, we rewrite the Constitution formal contracts. We are facing a real coup union, which, however, passed over in silence. Tomorrow in the squares, which will be filled with workers and workers who, despite the crisis decide to forgo a day's salary to be heard, together we want to scream out that not only work and the contract, but also democracy. That you can not stop the entry of the factories. Otherwise there's not really for anyone.

Sample Letter To The Church For A Wedding

RIVA 'Antifascism

" Riva is fascism. Never again fascism here, and throughout Italy in Trentino "with these words Luciano Baroni, a former partisan and no member of the NPC, opened the anti-fascist garrison held yesterday evening between via Dante and Viale Roma. On the other side, the "fascists", decided to keep the presentation of the association Pound House and Ace of hearts in private, not letting anything leak out on the site chosen. "To protect ourselves - explain - After threats of the center Bruno published in newspapers, we thought it was a wise thing to do the presentation only among ourselves, among people you trust, without revealing the location of the meeting."
About 200 participants have driven the anti-fascist defense that ended with a procession to the town, where she laid a wreath in memory of the martyrs of June 28. Many young people present: "We're here - they say - because we do not want Riva become a meeting point for these far-right movements. Where do these characters, then follow always fighting and aggression. It is not a coicidenza. And again: "The touching thing is that there are different realities, but with a shared feeling."
