Twenty years after the publication of the document development in solidarity. Italian Church and
Mezzogiorno, the Italian Bishops' Conference has wanted to resume the debate on the path of solidarity in our country, through a new document entitled For a country united. Italian Church and noon ( http://www.chiesacattolica.it/cci_new_v3/allegati/10773/Per 20un%%% 20Paese 20solidale.pdf ). The latter document states that ' may, in fact, worsening weakness and deepening old rooted limits, which threaten to isolate the South cut off from large development processes . But what they mean by the prelates of the CEI for "old weaknesses? The weakness
best known, is organized crime, which continues to "dictate the timing and pace of the economy and politics southern 'and, continues the document of the CEI," became the medium of any type of brokerage and undermining the country's democratic system, because the underworld control of the territory in fact leads to a seriously restricted, if not all'esautoramento, the governmental and public bodies, encouraging the growth of corruption, collusion and extortion, altering the labor market, manipulating contracts, interfering in land use decisions and the system permissions and licenses, thus contaminating entire country "
On that game the other disaster of the South: the ruling class, which increasingly serves the first plague, if not determined by it .
At this point the conversation of bishops becomes political and planning, and through the address "Ecclesial communities", we want to carry a message both to the institutions (including political parties) and to citizens. A message that aims to recover the right path both from the standpoint of morality, but also of solidarity and courage.
In other words, the bishops believe that in the south it is time to create a utopian project (eu-topos), in which political parties and citizens (voters) could be the perpetrators.
I think it is very difficult for political parties may be the authors of the era advocated by the CEI. In fact, the parties, in hungry search for funding to strengthen its role in the arena of power, have come to be absorbed by the malaise that corrupts our society, so much to find it in your food. It is a testament to the yardstick by which candidates are selected within the electoral roll, even in a simple local competition, where there are no political or administrative skills to determine their choice, but so-called "numbers" (meaning I hope that you have provided, the voters were not even a flock of sheep under the command of a pastor / candidate), and / or financial resources to obtain (buy) a good result. This reality, then projected on the macro level, is the basis of the various ills that lives in our country, as reported by the same document For a country solidale.Chiesa Italian and South .
At this point should be the citizens to make the change of direction that the CEI hopes, but voters are ready to give a strong signal, even against the malaise produced by the policy, already by the next election?
Personally I do not know. While I am certain that to achieve this, as well as the courage urged by the bishops, should recover to address some of the figures in society, a sort of social intelligentsia. And as discussed in the previous post, the intellectuals are those who may be the only ones who can address the citizens, and among these also include pastors whose parishes, moreover, are always efficient electoral committees.
concluded by saying that the current political-economic system, especially in the South, as reported by the bishops' document, has a precarious balance which would result from dropping a serious threat to democracy and the values \u200b\u200bit represents. Therefore it is necessary that people fall into the possession of the key role they have within our society, making choices that you dare election, as well as the CEI contends, "the courage of hope,"
