(of FOO DELBONO )
Finally something on which our country still divided, agrees. The crucifix. This reassures us because it means that, at least in a field, left and right do not argue. Beneath the cross, there, the tradition
and can not be questioned. Are those solid principles of our country on which we all unite. The stock, pasta, pretty women. And was crucified. Moreover in our country there are only a few tens of millions of crosses scattered domes, cathedrals, churches, small churches, chapels, shrines, paintings, pictures, sculptures, cards, chains hanging neck. In dreams, even in dreams, I think, we Italians are these crosses. So please do not leviamole from schools, offices, prisons and hospitals. We would never run the risk that we forget them. We would never run the risk that we forget to be a Catholic country matrix. And then we add to this the thousands of hours to which we are obliged to submit as viewers of television, state and private, to listen to the Catholic newsletter. The men freed and left to speak so secular state, but please do not touch the hours imposed by the church to the television communication. And especially not Take away the crucifix. Object, which reminds us of the burden of that guilt that we carry with us from the time when we were born. The guilt of sin, of having betrayed God, family, sexuality, the real male to be left astray by desires more animals. That crucified under which if you repent you will also continue to ripeccare and repent, and repent ripeccare and ten, hundred, thousand times. We have seen the corrupt, the murderers of the state, killing people in detention camps for foreigners in prisons, mental hospitals, under the sad crosses. We have seen the greatest leaders of the Camorra, the mafia, guilty of heinous crimes in their dens with crucifixes around his neck. "God will not let you die inside me," said Etty Hillesum, Jew died in the Auschwitz concentration camp, just before entering the gas chamber. Among the last words spoken by Christ hung on that cross there, if I remember correctly, this: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me." Quell'accanimento fanatical to maintain that object symbol, seems rather dictated by fear of losing power, a domain (which forces people to keep their heads down below the cross), which has a true desire for spirituality and faith. Would it not be better, instead of writing crucifixes on the walls, citing other words of Christ, "Love your neighbor as yourself"? In those places where you should now remove the crucifixes these words would be useful to indicate a path forgotten. So we could take advantage of the Strasbourg ruling to start thinking about the cultural problem of our country nailed to the image, apparently. As suggested Marcos, the commander of the guerrillas in Chiapas, "We no face, no face us. We, the word that always walk. "
