Like everything now in our poor country, even a subject as profound as whether or not to expose the Christian crucifix in public places has not been a calm debate, after the known case of the European Court of Human Rights, but was dragged into the political manipulation of the butcher, a "cauldron" that swallows everything and all trite. It all ended in a colossal release of shoes between secularists and Catholics. I do not claim to bring a solution to a debate in which everyone has said everything ... I would timidly suggest a perspective a bit 'different problem. Personally I am very opposed to remove the Christian cross from the classroom "militarily", following a court ruling, especially when most of the Italians appear to the contrary. The symbols, especially if they have a huge historical weight, much better explain that to remove them. I feel to skin, in addition, the antidemocraticità the resolution, coming from taxation. Well it could be that the Italians to express themselves referendum to repeal ... but what law? The exposure of the Christian crucifix in public places and civic rights, so to say ... practice. The point is just that. What we think we Catholics who want to practice on our crucified exposed in public places? I never said "crucified", but "crucified Christ" is certainly, as we have said, a symbol - but one of many - of the history and culture of our country, but only in Catholic circles that the symbol ceases was a historical mark on a par with others, and becomes the basis of the most profound message of our faith, God made man and the man who sacrificed himself. The idea that there earthen to suggest is this, turning to my fellow Catholics. That symbol is a powerful sign of our relationship with God is not afraid debasing, so to say "inflation", by dint of being exhibited in schools and post offices, offices ... there is so pleased that the Christian cross is reduced to mere "practice", she was "a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles"?
