“It is crucial that we are many to meet us at the Circus Maximus. Remember that this is the only ‘weapon’ we have.” The appeal of Massimo Gandolfini, president of the organizing committee of the Family Day , is perhaps too optimistic about the weight that will rally today on ITER parliamentary bill Cirinnà, that in his opinion “is and inemendabile It must be withdrawn. ” Words always sharp, but less stentorian, the CEI that, at the end of the Permanent Council, speaks only of “concern” for the equality between civil unions and marriage, no other lunges, still leave you to guess which of the other tables are being dealt with by achieving another result: the elimination of stepchild adoption by the bill Cirinnà and a rewriting of Article 3. The event will have a strong internal value to the Catholic world, and will be used by some parties (Ncd, League, FDI and Fi) for accreditation with this part of the Catholic world.
Among the organizers is breathed optimism on the success of the event: coming over a thousand buses, and the target is one million people, with thousands of entire families. But not the entire Catholic world will be: will recur division dating back to the eighties, between movements on the one hand, and Catholic Action and other associations recognized by the CEI, on the other. The first parade of the Circus Maximus and among them there will be the watchmen standing, the Catholic Alliance, Cl, Science and Life, the Neocatechumenal Way, Renewal in the Spirit, the Movement for Life, the Family Forum. Catholic Action and other associations espouse the line instead of yes to the recognition of rights to gay couples, without equality in marriage and no adoptions. As requested last Monday by Cardinal. Angelo Bagnasco.
The lack of official blessing of the CEI and the prudence of the bishops, anyway arouses discontent among the sponsors of Family Day. Blogs and sites of area mainly attack Monsignor Galatino and the newspaper Avvenire, in their judgment too warm, “you will not be in Rome for a picnic or for a prayer vigil in St. Peter’s Square, but to realize the New Resistance and shouting, no ifs and buts, that the law Cirinnà not pass,” writes Joseph Rusconi on “rossoporpora”, which fears the “Big mess” between the CEI and politics.
Yesterday, the bishops reiterated their “concern” about “the assimilation going on between marriage and civil unions, with the ‘introduction of an alternative to the family. ” No reference either to the bill Cirinnà nor to Family Day, that the episcopate still looks sympathetically. Not married because the objective of the withdrawal of the bill Cirinnà (March 28, 2007, the CEI asked explicitly withdrawing say) but because the gathering can help other objectives: the deletion of Article 5, with the stepchild adoption, and rewriting of Article 3, which argues for civil unions the articles of the Civil Code that refer to marriage. On this second point we are already amendments Giuseppe Lumia (Pd) which settle the question, while the stepchild adoption there is still no agreement that satisfies the secular soul of the Democratic Party, the cattoDem and Ap-Ncd, that party will be tomorrow Circus Maximus full-strength. Yesterday’s party Alfano got various sottosegretariati and delegation to the family for the new minister Enrico Costa, which may indicate that there is an ongoing attempt to agreement on the bill Cirinnà involving Ncd. The Circus Maximus there will also be members of the League and WiFi, as governors Roberto Maroni and Giovanni Toti, the Conservatives and FDI. All looking for that half a million votes in this part of the Catholic world.
For the Democratic Party there is only Beppe Fioroni and popular, that will mark the difference from other cattoDem. The historian of Christianity Massimo Fagioni commented on Twitter “Secularism two-bit vs. the familism cattolicista. Give me back the seventies, Berlinguer, the DC and all the rest.”
