potete già intuire quanto mi abbia amato allora ( dico allora perché adesso non c’è più clinicamente) colei che dopo quindici ore di lavoro accoglieva il mio corpo stanco, distrutto dalla fatica; (non visto crollavo addormentato abusivamente alcuni minuti, accovacciato per terra sul pavimento del "cesso" col capo reclinato sul water-closed );.. quanto mi abbia accudito colei che gestiva il mio corpo solo vegetativo che non mangiava se prima la fatica od il sonno fossero scesi a livelli sopportabili. Vogliate pensare con simpatia a chi buttava ogni due giorni nella lavatrice una tuta lurida; a chi accarezzava senza parlarmi, senza dire che sarei stato un pulito " elegante" professore di religione, bastava solo che lo avessi voluto….Mi sarebbero bastati alcuni gesti semplici esterni di pentimento e qualche vescovo "progressista" in zone neutre in cui non fossi conosciuto, avrebbe addirittura permesso di farmi vivere economicamente insegnando religione……..

La Chiesa che perdona e non comprende…i preti sposati: "Ottomila preti sposati in Italia e centomila nel mondo: forse sono piccoli numeri rispetto al totale dei sacerdoti cattolici ma, se si considera la grande quantit� di quelli che preferiscono vivere in segreto una storia d'amore, ci si render� conto che siamo di fronte a un fenomeno le cui proporzioni vanno oltre ogni aspettativa.
Questa inchiesta sul celibato ecclesiastico � basata su una serie di testimonianze di preti, e delle loro donne, che si sono trovati e si trovano a vivere prima la fase dell'innamoramento e poi la scelta di andare fino in fondo: sposarsi nonostante la contrariet� della gerarchia e della legge ecclesiastica. Molti i risvolti teneri e drammatici delle loro esperienze, che non possono non colpire profondamente l'animo di chi legge, perch� quello di preti sposati � un vero e proprio fenomeno sociale."

Monument to Benedict XV: "Benedict XV died unexpectedly early, at the age of 67, of influenza which developed into pneumonia. Two years before, the Turks had erected a statue of him (by Canarica) in Istanbul which saluted him as 'the great pope of the world tragedy ... the benefactor of all people, irrespective of nationality or religion'"

Monument to Benedict XV: "The election of Benedict XV coincided with a terrible moment in history. The pope was unhesitating in his condemnation of the First World War, against which he courageously made eight pronouncements and which he declared to be 'degrading' to mankind. He demanded a league of all nations, and disarmament. When these were not forthcoming, he organized relief work on a wide scale. He denounced the Versailles peace terms as a 'consecration of hatred'."

The Future and the Popes: "Pope Benedict XVI will die prior to, or at the very beginning of, World War III. Therefore, he will die in either 2009 or 2010. His reign will be short, like the reign of the holy Pope who reigns after him."

The Future and the Popes: "The next Pope after John Paul II will take the name Pope Benedict XVI, in imitation of Saint Benedict and also of Pope Benedict XV. Just as Pope Benedict XV was an emissary of peace, so will Pope Benedict XVI be an emissary of peace. Just as Pope Benedict XV sought peace and spoke of peace and wrote papal documents seeking peace, so will Pope Benedict XVI do also. Just as Pope Benedict XV failed to achieve peace in the world, so will Pope Benedict XVI fail to achieve peace in the world. Just as the Pontificate of Benedict XV began prior to World War I, so will the Pontificate of Benedict XVI occur prior to World War III. After the Pontificate of Benedict XVI, World War III will begin. The Arab nations will threaten and attack the United States; they will threaten, attack, invade and conquer Europe; they will threaten, attack, invade and conquer the northern part of Africa. It is God's will. "

Many times we make a terrible confusion bewteen Worship and worship. I call Worship with a capital letter what St. Paul meant: Romans 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
I found this beatiful and funny articles about this common confusion.

The Gutless Pacifist: "Do we really have a culture of life when single mothers are forced to choose between an abortion and a life of poverty?
Do we really have a culture of life when war becomes our tool of choice rather than our last resort?
Do we really have a culture of life when hundreds of thousands of our people do not even have a bed to sleep in at night and a warm meal to eat in the morning?
Do we really have a culture of life when a poor child born in our country has a greater chance of winding up in prison than going to college?
Do we really have a culture of life when we cut off any opportunity for repentence by executing our murderers?
Do we really have a culture of life when millions of Americans cannot afford health insurance and therefore would not even have Terri Schiavo's OPTION to stay alive for 15 years in a vegetative state?
Do we really have a culture of life when we continue to ignore the cries of the poorest of the poor - those who live on less than $1 a day?
Do we really have a culture of life when we continue to be the leader in the international arms trade?
The problem I have with Mr. Bush's 'culture of life' is not that it is asking too much, but rather that it is satisfied with far, FAR too little."

Another example of misinformation by one of my fellow countryman Dr. Gian Luigi Gigli president of World Federation of Catholic Medical Associations. He is stating that the only "crime" that Terry did is to be a "burden" to her husband!!!!
Dear Dr. Gigli if Terry it is a burden for her husband why in the world HE had been close to her bed for 15 years!!! Global Catholic News - Schiavo Case Could Open "Floodgates," Warns Group

I am Catholic. But I am ashamed by this misinformation about the Schiavo case. The article in "Catholic Cuture" is stating: "A woman who can talk, who is aware, who expresses laughter, who has swallowed on her own, who expresses fear". This is quite different from what the medical reports are stating. You can find a thoroughly discussion
here Catholic Culture : Document Library : High Noon In U.S.: If Schiavo Is Allowed to Die, It Will Be to Our Everlasting Shame

Informed Comment: "Republican Hisba will have the same effect in the United States that it does in the Middle East. It will reduce the rights of the individual in favor of the rights of religious and political elites to control individuals. Ayatollah Delay isn't different from his counterparts in Iran. "

Informed Comment: "The Muslim fundamentalists use a provision of Islamic law called 'bringing to account' (hisba). As Al-Ahram weekly notes, 'Hisba signifies a case filed by an individual on behalf of society when the plaintiff feels that great harm has been done to religion.' Hisba is a medieval idea that had all be lapsed when the fundamentalists brought it back in the 1970s and 1980s."

Informed Comment: "The cynical use by the US Republican Party of the Terri Schiavo case repeats, whether deliberately or accidentally, the tactics of Muslim fundamentalists and theocrats in places like Egypt and Pakistan. These tactics involve a disturbing tendency to make private, intimate decisions matters of public interest and then to bring the courts and the legislature to bear on them. President George W. Bush and Republican congressional leaders like Tom Delay have taken us one step closer to theocracy on the Muslim Brotherhood model."

Analogy between Iraq and Vietnam Martin van Creveld: The Blemish of Conquest: "To kill a much weaker opponent is unnecessary and therefore cruel; to let that opponent kill you is unnecessary and therefore foolish. As Vietnam and countless other cases prove, no armed force, however rich, however powerful, however advanced, or however well motivated, is immune to this dilemma. The end result is always disintegration and defeat; if American troops in Iraq have not yet started fragging their officers, the suicide rate among them is already exceptionally high. That is why the present adventure will almost certainly end as the previous one did�with the last American troops fleeing the country while hanging onto their helicopters� skids. "

Respectful of Otters: "The natural course of life ends with death. To allow that natural process to take its course is profoundly different than hastening it along. Asking others to refrain from interfering with nature is profoundly different from asking them to make, or be complicit in, the decision that nature is not progressing quickly enough - as in euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide. Euthanasia asks the physician to play God, to decide whether another person's life is sufficiently without value that it should be actively terminated. The cessation of life support asks the physician to stop playing God, to refrain from intervening further in a disease process which has its natural terminus in death."

Respectful of Otters: "We have the right to say 'enough,' and let the natural dying process take its course. We have the right to have the integrity of our bodies unviolated by unwanted medical treatment - just as we have the right to insist on aggressive efforts for life extension. We have the right to choice. And when we are no longer able to exercise that right ourselves, we have the right to designate our closest others to do so on our behalf."

Respectful of Otters: "What is at issue in the Terri Schiavo case is not whether it is legitimate to kill her or actively promote her death (for example, by an overdose of morphine), but whether it is legitimate to refuse medical treatment intended to prolong her life. (Make no mistake about it: nutrition and hydration are medical treatment, when they're supplied through a stomach tube.) While the distinction between active promotion of death and witholding lifesaving medical treatment may seem like hair-splitting, in fact they are critically different."

Respectful of Otters: "The 17 affidavits all put considerable weight on the fact that, in the video snippets on Schiavo's parents' website, she appears to be responding to stimulation. Her eyes track a balloon. She smiles in response to her mother's voice. The affidavits therefore conclude that Schiavo is appropriately responsive to external stimuli, and that she is at least minimally conscious - not in a persistent vegetative state (PVS) at all. Yet none of the exhibited behaviors are, in themselves, unusual for patients with PVS."

Tom Reeves: Exposing the Coming Draft: "11% of the 648,560 soldiers (including officers) who fought in the Vietnam War at its height were Black--when they were 13.5% of the general population. The Black percentage of combat marines and army infantry was 14%. Among the 1.8 million who fought in Vietnam at any time during the 20-year conflict, 16% were black, but of all U.S. combat deaths in Vietnam, 12% were Black. It is interesting to compare some religious demographic figures: though less than 25% of the general population was Catholic at the time, more than 33% of combat deaths in Vietnam were Catholic. "

Tom Reeves: Exposing the Coming Draft: "The Pentagon admits there were 5,500 desertions last year--and some feel this figure is far too low. As many as 1/3 of the 4000 Ready Reserves called back for duty last year applied for exemption or simply did not show up. "

Tom Reeves: Exposing the Coming Draft: "By early March, Bush had given Syria a May deadline to withdraw completely from Lebanon or face--what? Invasion?"

Tom Reeves: Exposing the Coming Draft: "during the election debates in November, both Bush and Kerry categorically denied that either would allow the activation of a draft. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld dismissed the idea as ridiculous, noting that he has always supported the 'volunteer army' which he helped create and is now 'reorganizing.' Most major media called the 'draft scare' pure urban myth created by internet rumor mills. The Selective Service System website states categorically that there are no 'active plans' to revive a draft."

TomPaine.com - Mapping The Oil Motive: "It appears that the U.S. incursion into Iraq�begun with such high expectations two years ago�has largely failed to achieve its intended purposes. No weapons of mass destruction were ever found in Iraq, so the invasion cannot be said to have eliminated a potential WMD threat. The danger posed by terrorism is no less severe now than it was in 2003, and in some cases has grown stronger. It is true that democracy has made some inroads in Iraq, but it is not al all evident that elections will produce a stable, unified state. And it is clear that Iraq is in no position to quench America�s voracious thirst for petroleum."

TomPaine.com - Blogs: "The assassination of Rafik Hariri, the Saudi-connected billionaire, could have been carried out by any number of factions�from personal, business enemies of Hariri�s, Hezbollah, other Shiite factions, Syrian intelligence, Israeli intelligence, Iran and even some factions in Iraq. To believe that Syria did it�thus making itself is the instant target of U.S. wrath�seems ludicrous. More likely, to speculate, it seems that the murder was carried out specifically as a provocation to embarrass Syria and to provide Washington with a pretext to do what it wants to do anyway: Regime Change II."

TomPaine.com - The Democracy Lie: "President Bush and his supporters are taking credit for spreading freedom across the Middle East. Middle East expert Cole disputes the domino theory in the region and labels Iraq�at best�a failed state. Where changes are genuinely occurring they have nothing to do with the U.S. invasion of Iraq."

Iraq Turning Out To Be New Vietnam: "The North won the Civil War on the ground, but it took a century to defeat the South�s discrimination against blacks. And during most of those years, the South took and held power and control of the U.S. Congress, assuring that civil and human rights for millions were, at best, limited and, at worst, downright repressed. In a very real way, the 100-year aftermath of the Civil War was a bloodless insurgency in the South. "

Bush saied:God's Politics: An Interview With Jim Wallis: "�I don�t understand poor people, I�ve never been around poor people. I�m a white Republican guy who doesn�t get it. I�d like to. How do I get it?� "

God's Politics: An Interview With Jim Wallis: "Poverty could be the thing that calls us together across our political dividing lines. But you need political leaders who articulate that and say why this is connected to our faith, our humanity, and our security. The line [from my book] that draws a great response every single time is, �Unless we drain the swamp of injustice in which these mosquitoes of terrorism breed, we�ll never overcome terrorism.� Everybody knows that. Most Americans know that you can�t defeat terrorism by killing terrorists. So the president says, �My response to terrorism is to kill terrorists.� And John Kerry says, �Yup. And my response is to kill even more of them.� That was our debate. It�s politically foolish and spiritually bankrupt. "

God's Politics: An Interview With Jim Wallis: "This is America. This is the most religious nation on the face of the earth. Religion will be a factor in our public life. The founders wanted to separate church and state not to diminish the role of religion but to strengthen it. Europe has a state church framework and religion has almost no influence. Here, where it�s separated, it�s more dependent and more vital, and stronger. The founders thought strong religion was a factor in the political health of the nation. "

God's Politics: An Interview With Jim Wallis: "I think the Right has made a serious mistake in adopting a moral-values strategy, because they�re winning in the short run. [But] in the long run, they�re going to lose this debate because they won�t be able to restrict it to two issues. Once you open that door to a values conversation, it�s going to undercut a right-wing economic agenda, which values wealth over work and favors the rich over the poor, or resorts to war as the first resort and not the last. To quote the White House, when it comes to moral values in this discussion, I say, �Bring it on!� Let�s have the conversation, because the Right�s going to lose this debate in the end. But not if the Left doesn�t even get in the conversation. "

After campaigning side by side with Bush and saying again and again he was doing so in particular because Bush had a better plan for the War on Iraq, as soon as the election was done, McCain admitted he thinks the way the war in Iraq is being fought is entirely wrong, and that, as Kerry said, we should have more troops over there and armor on the vehicles. Compare what McCain says just after the election above with what Kerry was saying way back in May in this article.
You think we needed more troops, Senator McCain? Have 'no confidence' in Rumsfeld and the way the Bush administration is fighting the war? Then you should have gotten behind your friend Kerry.
Obviously McCain was putting his 2008 presidential ambitions above the nation and what is best for the troops. And that is truly sad to see from a man who usually will put principle above party."
