say I do not think anything new since the echo aroused in recent days the opinion of one of the Italian bishops (Bishop Bertoldo) on 's time ever hopeless "case, Berlusconi is known to all, and certainly each of us has already made his remarks. I will say then, is not to amplify the echo of a biased news and ideas that are being cultivated inside and outside the church for centuries, but it is a relief that comes from a deep sadness. As you know I live in Bolivia and, almost always, living in certain places, you have the ability to filter the news from other points of view so that many times I hear news that after reading them and have felt certain emotions, quietly put in the drawer . But this time, it seems to me too, I think it has crossed the line and who has not previously Premier is the only Italian, but a member of the Christian community. Maybe someone will say that this is simply a thought-not-official of a member and this is true, but as far as I know-I-be a bishop means in some way be a public figure, and over all representative of a Christian community, believe that the statement shows not only an opinion but something more. In addition the silence in the church always generates around these kinds of thoughts and opinions, the silence, evasive tone to be able to say nothing and not to give, not take place because otherwise it could be dangerous, above all for priests, all this and more still, it makes the case even more public and I think even more sad. And once again my attention on the issue will not stop Berlusconi, on the other already widely commented on by everyone, but something like a woman who believes sister and besides, I feel really sad. Or the ever famous statement of the Bishop of Foligno, who, I think, sounds like this: " ... Berlusconi in sin, does not offend the natural rule, follows nature. Vendola offends both sin nature and therefore is made much, much worse and be silent ... " , indicates much more than could be So the support and complicity with a policy never before in the hands of people who are totally corrupt, with all the symptoms of a real very serious psychological distress, including frustrations and delusions of power, at the mercy of a self-centeredness psciologico impressive, social and gender, as well as economic. The statement of Bishop Berthold, in my opinion, is even more sad and immoral, because it shows the idea of \u200b\u200bsexuality and gender above all likely to have a bishop today. I am deeply shocked as a woman, how can a believer now justify the abuses which are women (because 's what it is), young and old alike, whether Italian or foreign, just to defend a politician Premier? How can a believer uses these criteria to read that disparage the female gender in addition to that established by Monsignor as "against nature"? Definitions of this type as well as challenge the discriminatory attitudes of the Catholic Church official, puts at risk the integrity of many women and men who express their gender with honesty and do not need clandestine private homes or public to express their sexuality than anything else living, in fidelity to the lives of others, consistent with what they discovered along their routes of faith. While some statements like that of Monsignor Bertolo, are statements that ridicule the people and make life just a game of deception and perversion. Moreover we know that today the Church's ethics are very weak on this and if this is justified by saying that the fault lies with the postmodern world, in fact conceals his profound crisis that now never makes it visible to the world as a corrupt institution and ambiguous, that only manages to hide and justify only those that provide some privilege matter how small. A church that does these kinds of discrimination and with arrogance and contempt (even if it is not the first time) is a church that really has nothing to say. It amazes me that both theologians Italian theologians and never fail to react to these types of statements, it amazes me and saddens me to think that now will never accept everything, not just politically but also in the Church. It amazes me that women do theology in Italian universities does not say anything after a statement that indirectly defines us all-only be women-not only legally available for the various political turn, but also for all those who have the right to wake up with the desire to use us. A monsignor Bertolo I remember a phrase from the Book of Isaiah: not tell the stranger who has joined the Lord-Of course I exclude the Lord from his people! -. Do not tell the eunuch-Behold, I I am a dry tree -. (Cfr.Is 56.3). Stranger, a eunuch, but instead have these categories of people in our individual and collective Christian imagery? And remember that the wisdom and the ability to intuit the mystery and the divine presence in history, we are not necessarily the date for receipt of an "endowment", on the other now more truly Christian feudal, but also by whom, with respect, search for life, not only for himself or for his own small group, but for all this, too, did not invent, but you can find in a New Testament text which again refers to those who, at the time, defined as "eunuch": At 8, from 8.27 to 39. However, with these statements and these tones, you can see why the church has hidden for centuries, child abuse and women, and today these realities must be added the moral and theoretical and actual abuse on homosexuals. For each reader, I commend further reflections and conclusions.
