Che Papa Ratzinger non sia un mieloso predicatore attento a non urtare le moderne sensibilità del “politically correct” si è capito da tempo: Joseph Ratzinger ha sempre avuto il coraggio di dire tutto quello che pensa, fino in fondo, e ha sempre dimostrato incredibile determinazione nel difendere i valori più profondi dell’identità cristiana.
Ieri, a Roma, durante il saluto participants of the "International Conference for healthcare professionals," Benedict XVI has confirmed a man capable of not to retreat before the least radical and secularist ideologies of our time: with great candor the Pope said, in no uncertain terms, that "love for justice, protection of life from conception to natural death, respect for the dignity of every human being should be sustained and witnessed, even against the grain "because" the core ethical values \u200b\u200bare the common heritage of universal morality and the basis of democratic society " .
not like the words of the Holy Father to many ideologues and supporters of the "culture of death "that" with the use of artificial breeding techniques involving embryo destruction, or euthanasia legalized "try to offer a distorted picture of human life and severely impoverished.
the address Benedict XVI delivered yesterday to defend life "from conception to natural death," is in fact a real "pro-life manifesto" which should be signed by all those who, by Christians and from the West perceive the importance of not unreasonably divest the temptations of secularism.
It 'hard not to notice the similarity of the words of Benedict XVI with the "Pact for Life and Family" that the Governor of Piedmont, Roberto Cota, has signed with the Catholic world in Piedmont: "abortion is never a victory for anyone but is always a defeat," Cota said at the signing of the pact, adding that "life really is and full life until natural death. "
A closer look, in fact, in view of Italian party, it is the Northern League political party the most reliable and secure way to interface with the "Catholic world, especially with regard to upholding the values" pro-life "very dear to Benedict XVI.
The commitment of the men and women of the League on issues "ethically sensitive" has always been very clear: "we are opposed to an anarchist political ethical issues" has repeatedly reaffirmed the League's parliamentary Massimo Polledri. And, given the parliamentary hand, are precisely the honorable senators and members of the League who, during the voting on the measures of ethical importance, have maintained the position more compact and more consistent defense of life in all its phases.
attention and respect to political life as indispensable value is one of the key points of the pontificate of Joseph Ratzinger, who has spent several times in person - scandalized even some Catholic clergy and well-meaning - just to reiterate with force il richiamo in favore di una “politica per la vita”.
In un tempo come il nostro, dove confusione valoriale e relativismo assoluto, sembrano trionfare serve che da parte del Capo della Cristianità giungano, come accade, parole coraggiose e chiare: perché tra le fila cattoliche (e anche tra alcuni politici sedicenti cattolici) regna troppa confusione.
Il “manifesto pro-life” che ieri il Papa ha pronunciato deve rappresentare la stella polare per tutti i cattolici impegnati in politica: senza infingimenti e senza balbettii, è giusto e necessario che le parole del Santo Padre vengano prese in seria considerazione da chi, come la Lega ha sempre fatto, si propone come paladino dell’identità cristiana of our land.
genetic manipulation, euthanasia and abortion: these are the three major challenges which need to be addressed, with faith and reason, by all those who refer to our Christian roots.
"I'm against the legalization of abortion because they consider it a legalized murder," he once wrote Pier Paolo Pasolini. And Pasolini is not a person suspected of being a dangerous "reactionary fundamentalist" nor a "clerical of the past." No, this is not to be bigots, fundamentalists, or worse, baciapile: it only wanted to defend the most precious thing we have, that is our life.
