Crucifix: what evangelicals have not been able to say
Paolo Naso
A virtually unanimous chorus of outrage and confusion has accepted the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg that the display of crucifixes in public school classrooms is "a violation of the freedom of parents to educate their children according to their beliefs and freedom religion of the pupils. "
What was the sentence he would discuss the order of things: one that astonishes and worries, however, have been radicalized and exasperated tones that have prevented those who appreciated the decision to explain the reasons and the meaning of his opinion. With a very strong and direct language, the Catholic hierarchy have called for a "generalized reaction" (Cardinal Bertone) to a sentence "surreal" child culture "secular" rampant in Europe (Cardinal Bagnasco), until direct appeal to the "believers" "not to sleep and raise their voice" launched by a person usually moderate such as Cardinal Kasper.
On this occasion, in short, the Catholic hierarchy gave up their classic plush tone to adopt the popular language and extreme degree of political culture in general are critical.
As for the political picture is even more worrying because it would be to them - all of them, both those deployed and those deployed to the right to the left - who are obliged to respect the national and European institutions and to foster a civic consciousness attentive to the principle of secularism and the statutory rights of minorities. Waiting disappointed with some of the predictable exception of the newly elected PD Bersani former governor of the New Right Lazio Storace was a unique celebratory paean of the crucifix as a symbol of national unity, the Italic traditions, and then - paradoxically - the value of gentleness and self-giving.
Conservative Jews too ("From a theoretical point of view I believe that public buildings as a home for all symbols should not have a specific faith, but I realize that a strict application of this principle in Italy might offend sensibilities and stories rooted, "said the chief rabbi of Rome, Di Segni) and very perplexed Muslims be worried about becoming embroiled in a war on the crucifix." By the European Parliament, in evident embarrassment, now comes a proposal to add other symbols of the crucifix: creative suggestion, but tighter to legitimize the crucifix quietly adding that the crescent or menorah on the walls at school.
Evangelicals have found it almost alone in appreciating the sentence, often deliberately confused and share with atheists, rationalists, relativists, with short, how carefully Christian identity of Italy and Europe.
Personally I see nothing wrong with that sometimes, and on some issues, some believers and some atheists are found to say the same thing: the fundamental constitutional principles and important battles for civil rights have been established thanks to the encounter between different cultures. But this time the evangelicals - and more united on other issues unique to - They tried to say something different from their own faith. Basically they tried to claim three ideas.
First, the cross of Christ is a fundamental symbol of Christian faith and is not a flag of Western identity, democracy or the EU. Christians, in other words, they argued that the natural place of the cross is in our minds and not on the walls of classrooms, reducing it to a symbol of civil religion, as well as paradoxical, cancels and ridicules its theological significance.
Second, as citizens stressed that public spaces are indeed "public" means that should express the idea of a civilized community that does not discriminate and does not rule on the basis of ethnicity, gender or religion. The third
: as citizens and believers have claimed the value of pluralism of different cultural and spiritual traditions that have all the right to speak in public space. Are not Christians of the catacombs, and they too want to, instead, "shouting from the rooftops" the truth of which they are witnesses. But just because they love freedom know that they must also respect and protect that of others. It is not relativism, is aware of the value and richness of its diversity of any democracy.
This is what they tried to say. And that obviously failed to communicate.

Eluana, the truth
Thomas CernoThe young man had now 'irreversible damage'. The results of evacuate brain expertise doubt. And close the door to the controversy
Eluana could not wake up. No, I would forever remain trapped in the darkness of her persistent vegetative state. The miraculous recovery that many have theorized, on television and in newspapers, it was not possible. At least not for science. Now we know. Already that night in January 1992, when the car skidded on ice returning from a party with friends, suffered a Eluana "irreversible damage". They are no longer Englaro family's lawyers who said it. And there are doctors who have cared for for 17 years to show all agree in confirming the diagnosis that there was no hope. This time to tell us is she, Eluana. With the single, tragic message that his brain girl become a woman without knowing it, was able to send after the crash. Talk through the examinations of the brain, further investigation prepared by the prosecution of Udine in May to clear all doubts about the death on 9 February at the clinic quiet. After five months, the report is ready. Suit everyone: neurologists appointed Fabrizio Tagliavini, Carlo Besta in Milan at the primary, and Raffaele De Caro, Professor, University of Padova; the expert witnesses, Stephen and Happy Giangaspero Pizzolitto, as well as experts led by the Attorney Friulian Carlo Moreschi.The final report will be delivered these days to the Chief Prosecutor Antonio Biancardi. But the last meeting in Padua has explored everything lesions, atrophy, damage to the thalamus, the corpus callosum, the two hemispheres. A host of big words and medical conditions that confirm a simple and dramatic truth: "The neuropathological damage observed are morphologically irreversible," he says in 'The Express' examinations those who took them and studied. It means that his brain could not heal. And Eluana could not emerge from its state vegetable, thus disproving scientists, lawyers, priests and ladies who swore to the contrary. Prime Minister Berlusconi in the lead.
is the last piece of a story that has split Italy, ignited a clash between government and the Quirinale Palace, reopened the wound between secular and Catholic. A document that is to add up to thousands of other pages already in the hands of judges. Expertise, diagnosis, medical records, requests for admission, minutes of the ASL and Nas, they all say the same thing: Eluana was there, but there was not really. Did not respond to pain, perceived the presences around. He had no hot or cold. It lacked only one thing. Responding to the most important question: whether or not there was a light at the end of that tunnel? You
on this point that the battle was much tougher. The accusations rained down on Amato De Monte, the anesthesiologist who picked up the tube, were very heavy. They apostrophe as "Executioner", who is accused of "killing a person conscious that he could open his eyes at any moment." When Beppino went for the last time her daughter in Friuli, he faced a huge banner: "Murderess." All the while a white tent prevented photographers to desecrate the room Eluana. The neurologist Gianluigi Gigli spoke of "a person from the body strong, he never needed to particular drugs." Without ever having visited. And when the requirements lists galore, given for years: Dintoina, Pantopan, Supradyn, Adalat, Cipro, Norvasc. Giuliano Dolce, who was also a doctor, saw Eluana in Lecco and explained that "certain features remained, particularly swallowing. A possibility denied by the same nuns Misericordine that the handling since 1994. Berlusconi led to speculation that it could "create a child in a vegetative state that could change, as has been seen several times." Minister Angelino Alfano said he was "dead to Judgement," because the woman at the bottom was fine.
None of this is more confirmation. Neither the clinical journal of the last days in Udine nell'autopsia or February, and even now in the examinations of the brain. Although not to process the vital functions of Eluana, being performed after death, study the extent of morphological damage. And as a second analysis provides an important confirmation. The situation of the brain was "consistent with the persistent vegetative state." From the first day of admission to intensive care 18 January 1992, with the diagnosis of "coma and paraplegia in spinal cord concussion." This has always been, even when he started to breathe without machines. During my years institute Blessed Luigi Talamoni, and after you arrive in Udine, on 3 February, isolated and protected in the room that would house his final journey. As they say the cards, was an empty body. A prison, precisely as repeated Beppino dad, convinced that her daughter would never have accepted those therapies, and ready to fulfill the promise he had made when one of the closest friends of Eluana lying in a hospital bed with a tube in his stomach, motionless as a plant, "Dad, promise me that if happen to me, you set me free."

The Paradox of the CatholicGustavo Zagrebelsky - The Republic of
The existence in the galaxy of Catholic "Catholic Democrats" is in itself a demonstration of unresolved difficulties in the relationship between democracy and Catholicism. If there were no difficulties, the adjective specifiers would be superfluous. The fact that there are Catholics who are self-defined democratic means that yes, Catholicism is compatible with democracy, but also that democracy is not co-essential to Catholicism, because it also covers the anti-democracy. If we consider that the Catholic Democrats, for their own recognition in their world today are the minority, the worrying conclusion is that, by the majority, the rules of democracy, if accepted, they are not for membership, but for endurance or opportunities : if and until they are going better conveniences.
These statements may seem foolhardy, given the Catholic contribution to the liberation struggle, drawing up the constitution and participation in democratic life in the decades that are followed. But, precisely, the Catholic world is a galaxy where there is everything and that contribution to democracy, that nobody could deny or play down, it goes to the persistence of attitudes on the other gender, mental reservations and open contradictions. A rift has separated from the beginning, modern democracy and this break from the Catholic world, of course, is not completely healed. The applicant complains of "relativism" than "values" is only one complaint to date of the "rave" Democrats of the past (encyclical Diuturnum illud of 1881).
In the context of this distrust grows old testimony that Rosy Bindi, one of the most committed to defend the identity and the legacy of Catholic Democrats, made in a book-length interview with Giovanna Casadio ( What is Caesar , Laterza, pp. 144, € 10). It is an example of what Christian faith can make a contribution to ' democratic ethos. But it is also proof of the power that comes not - as sometimes erroneously says - from a citizen and a believer at the same time (as if democracy were to be necessarily an atheist or agnostic), but at the same time being a citizen and member of the Catholic Church, when it - so to speak - is at (in more or less stringent, it is always set) as an organization of obedience in temporal matters. They are not beliefs, religious or secular, to create difficulties. They, as lived in freedom and responsibility, not prevent democracy, even the rich. It is the dual membership of the democratic state and the Church as a disciplinary power, the root of the difficulty. Two loyalties can conflict, different duties may oppose. The citizen, to respect themselves, should deny the believer and the believer, not to contradict his confessional bond, should deny the citizen.
not true, in fact, that the two complement each other affiliations. The conflict lies in wait. Democracy requires openness to dialogue fruitful, that is not to pretend, in view of agreements and, where necessary, compromise. It requires, in a word, but lay non-dogmatic attitudes. Membership in the Church can instead create a dramatic situation of either-or: either in or out, or obedience, or betrayal and excommunication. Two logical that when we face radically, creating difficulties and suffering that can be resolved only with the capitulation of one party. The famous case, also mentioned in 'Interview , Alcide De Gasperi that resists political diktat of the Pope threatened to resign as president of the Council is proof. Pius XII was to withdraw, that is to surrender. Were it not so, the departure of De Gasperi, from the point of sight of his civic duties were not a demonstration of secularism, but in turn a capitulation to a clerical claim. Among his civic duties, there is indeed to leave his post if the church he rears.
Rosy Bindi's reflection touches on many issues, theory and practice of politics, and touches them in such a way as to show the potential for integration of Catholic democratic politics in common, beyond the fence confessional. It also shows the contribution to humanity, justice and solidarity with the effect that they can give a contribution which non-Catholics can not be indifferent. But this reflection does not hide the difficulties arising from political position that the Catholic Church has failed taking in recent years, with the progressive removal from the spirit of Vatican II. It's a setback, the consequences of which are reported in clear and stinging words, and explicit references to the policy of the CEI of Cardinal Ruini: "Unfortunately, lost historical memory and removed the foundations of the Constitution and the Second Vatican Council, we ended up in the contradiction instrument that is doing the right religion. There is a return to the past, we burned a century of history. " We can only add two things: that "blasphemous this use of faith" is not just the "right" and is often the warm gratitude of the Church hierarchy.
environments curial Catholics and atheists, denigrate this kind of considerations as trite lament about the "council betrayed." Not so. Instead, the timely registration of a strategy without first stiffening of disciplinary action against the faithful, often called the hierarchy even in electoral chances, and then arrangements of power between Church leaders and political leaders, where obedience given by Catholics the hierarchy becomes an instrument of pressure, if not blackmail, in relation to the civil authorities. All this is seen at work with "non possumus", the "difficult calls" the support or the withdrawal of support to this or that political party, this or that government, to influence their existence or survival. A Church that may well point out, before the people of its believers, its function of leading their souls in the world is to come, but for the meantime in the world that there is, it is a power structure (ie sin), which divides the soul and makes religion, used in those ways, a reason for conflict. Rosy Bindi
quotes a teaching of Pierre Claverie, the Dominican who was killed in 1996 in Algeria, because of its commitment to understanding between peoples, a teaching which holds the key to understanding how religious faith can be integrated in democracy, that is, a " good life for all: "There is only humanity and plural when we claim to possess the truth or speaking in the name of truth, we fall into totalitarianism and exclusion. No one owns the truth, everyone tries (...) gleaning in other cultures, other types of humanity, that others also have included, have tried in their journey towards the truth: I am a believer, I believe that there is a God, but do not pretend to have that God does not have God no one possesses the truth and I need the truth of others. "
This is the attitude of humility and at the same time, trust in human beings and their willingness to work together, which was the soul of the Council Vatican II, whose GS is the expression: the freedom of believers in D social together with men of good will, their responsibility before God and their brothers, the exclusion of recourse 'authority of the Church in support of their positions, ban that, similarly, could not involve the abstention of the Church by action binding the consciences of Catholics. The Catholic presence in human societies, was conceived as a yeast that works from, depending on the persuasiveness of the evidence that can come from the Christian life, lived with consistency. There is an image, in the encyclical Ecclesiam suam (1964) of Pope Paul VI expresses this idea well: the concentric circles in which it spreads the Christian witness, to reach all of humanity.
the teaching of the Council, that, legitimately, for believers is the truth becomes, to society as a whole, as an example, charity. It is the only way to put into place friendly. Instead, we are now seeing, in the teaching of Pope Benedict XVI, increasingly pronounced with the insistence on the truth together in combination to reason: the truth of the Church is the only true reason and that reason is universal. So, the truth of Catholic claims that not only believers but also unbelievers bend il ginocchio. Quest'audace operazione teologica si trasforma in una pretesa universalistica della Chiesa. I non credenti, per così dire, impenitenti, diventano nemici non solo della verità, ma anche della ragione. Un innegabile capovolgimento del Concilio.
In questo contesto si spiega l'invito che il papa Benedetto XVI rivolge ai non credenti affinché essi, per quanto privi di fede, si adattino ad agire veluti si Deus daretur , come se Dio (anche per loro) esistesse. Non sarebbe la fede a esigerlo, ma la ragione. A questo detto papale Bindi, nelle pagine finali, esprime la sua adesione. Questo è forse l'unico mio punto di dissenso, tra le tante cose che l'intervista ci dice e che testimoniano Author's about the search for ancient way of being, without contradiction, Christians and citizens together. Invitations to as if are unacceptable. To act as if God exists is a provocation against non-believers. They should contradict their conscience and follow not their right, but the truth as proclaimed by the Church. Mutual respect is not compatible with this kind of invitations.

Title: Just harmless fantasies
Fandom: Prison Break
Characters: Debra Jean Belle; Tweener
Rating: PG-15
Prompt: 058. – Morning @ 100_women
Word Count: 746 (W)
Disclaimer: Prison Break is not mine – just borrowing minor characters.
Note: Takes place during episodes 2x04 and 2x05 –sort of missing pieces between Debra and Tweener. I’ve always been intrigued by Debra Jean and I’m planning to write more about her. (So that you know.) Thanks to happywriter06 for the accurate betareading.
She always thought her name was a sign. Debra Jean Belle , c’mon. Can you imagine anything more predictable and naive? Moreover, her parents had taken great pride in teaching her the proper ways of living: steady and well-mannered, neatly dressed and free from flights of fancies.
That’s why Debra had put the notice on the board. Last year she’d gone to Utah by plane, a neat and rather boring trip. This year, not only she was going to drive home; she was looking for somebody – anybody – with whom to share the ride. She kept this last bit for herself. So much for predictability.
However, when this Scott guy shows up she first hesitates – old habits being hard to break and all that – but eventually embraces it: Goodbye predictability. Hello randomness .
Even though she’s never been that good at change and goodbyes.
In fact, when this Scott guy steps out of the shower, she wasn’t going to get some tequila and lime. Not at all. She was just wondering what it would be like to get some tequila and lime; just taking her imagination on a wild ride.
Just harmless fantasies.
But the moment his eyes are on her, the towel still wrapped around his waist, she feels like a deer caught in the headlights. And she hates herself for that, because c’mon, this is exactly what he’s seeing.
Debra Jean Belle, the predictable and naive deer .
So she heads for the door. You can’t embrace randomness if you’re not ready for a whole lot of pain.
After the kiss, when this Scott guy slips a hand between her legs, Debra gasps and pushes him away.
“Wait... wait…” Her voice is muffled but not because of the alcohol. Quite the opposite in fact. She’s still too sober for this.
“You seem kinda nervous,” he says.
“You’ve said that before, y’know that?”
She is nervous, so she gets another shot and shudders when the liquor reaches her stomach. She hands him the bottle, avoiding his gaze.
“And like I said, you got nothin’ to worry about.” He twists the top of the bottle and puts it to his lips.
“Yeah, sure. But you know, it’s different for girls. I can’t, like, y’know… And then just…” Chicken out , she’s about to say.
“What? Wait, I mean…” He looks nervous, too, in an awkward sort of way. “You’re a nice girl, attractive…”
Debra blushes and feels stupid immediately after, so she pulls free and tries to get up. He’s right, she really got to learn how to lie.
“But hey, wait!” He clutches her hand and it’s a surprisingly gentle touch. “Don’t, please. Yo, you just say no and I understand, okay? I mean, I’m not a pervert. A’aight?”
“A’aight?” she mocks him.
He smiles and takes another drink of tequila. This time he shudders, and she smiles back.
“Here, let me get you some lime.”
Moving towards the bedside table, Debra loses her balance and falls on the bed laughing. He joins her shortly after and they just lie there for a while, empty bodies staring at the ceiling. She can feel the warmth and the smell of his skin, a mixture of fresh lime and cheap motel soap.
Then he slowly leans over to kiss her, gently at first, then eating, licking, touching, exploring. When he presses his body against her, with a clumsy moves Debra pulls her top over her head. Next he’s naked too, his mouth tasting her skin, his fingertips tracing the curve of her hips, reaching for her panties and pulling them off.
This is not her first time, another thing her father would love to know, but somehow Debra feels that this time she’s about to cross a very thin line, and not because she’s having drunk sex with some guy she’s picked up few hours ago. Then his tongue plays and licks between her thighs and Debra, flushed and excited, opens up for him. He slips into her smoothly. She smiles and don’t remember what she was thinking about.
She doesn’t cross that very thin line until the morning after, when she shuts the door in fear and he comes out of the bathroom. The look on his face is what Debra would remember later, and forever.
It’s surprise, together with panic and a glimpse of hope.
It’s the deer caught in the headlights.
It’s love in infinite variations.
It’s a whole lot of pain.
