(Giudice del Tribunale di Catania)
da Il Fatto Quotidiano online del 31 ottobre 2010
Mi scuso se quella che segue apparirà una digressione – ma solo apparentemente tale – dai temi che tratto di solito (giustizia e legalità), ma spero di riuscire a convincervi della pertinenza di queste righe with the issues I deal with regularly.
My humble opinion on the crisis in which our country will pay is that it is a crisis of leadership or formal instrument of administration and government, but a deep and widespread crisis of values \u200b\u200band content of social life.
Imagining the social body in a manner similar to a human body, we are not victims of a virus that attacks a single organ, but a decay of the overall welfare of the body, with reference to the fundamental vital signs.
If a man does not eat, if you take a few foods and more polluted, if you are always lying on a couch and not make any kind of physical training, the return to health does not pass by saving formulas, to be more or less brilliant ideas, from little blue pills or pink, but a demanding and tiring work tonic.
There are no formal solutions to substantive problems.
What we need is not (only) a different political government, but a collective moral and cultural reconstruction. The
"resist, resist, resist" Francesco Saverio Borrelli, that we love so much, it should be understood as a new war of liberation. Inculturation, the intellectual and moral coarseness. From barbarism.
One of the most serious problems we have is the substantial loss of ideas and values \u200b\u200bthat produces (And through) the consumption, and finally the abuse of words.
Carlo Levi wrote that "words are stones" . Why give "body" to the ideas and values. A society is
values \u200b\u200b(and negative values), which actually lives and on which it feeds.
One of the meanings of the word "culture" that is in vocabulary is' all the manifestations of material life, social and spiritual life of a people or an ethnic group ... ".
Yesterday the Prime Minister - "our President" , as rightly called him Peter Gomez on TV, and stressed its duty to be aware of his actions - the highest representative of our country, after the President of the Republic, said yet another scandal with prostitutes and minors that involves and implicates us, saying: "I love women," .
The word "love" is used by us in a non-unique. say "I love my wife" but "I love my motorcycle" , and still "provola sweet , " sleep ", " play ball ", " Mom " Etc. ..
In this country, in which the idolaters decerebration "god Po continually evoke the" Christian roots ", which does not even know what they are, considering that probably a matter botany buried under a mountain of manure immoral and illegal, I would like to evoke St. Thomas, which distinguished the ' "love of concupiscence" from' "love of benevolence" .
And he explained that the ' "love of concupiscence" is the desire for something good that we get, while the' "love of benevolence" is the transportation for someone who leads us to desire the good.
The nature of things requires a love of lust things (because they do not make any sense to desire the good of my motorcycle for himself, even though I love my bike a lot), and loving kindness of the people.
Because people are inherently valuable and an absolute value and use them is the most immoral thing you could do.
Jesus ( "the" Christian roots ) said: "You shall love the Lord your God [and not yourself, nor money, nor sex, nor the" god Po "or the" sun of the Alps " ] with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets " (Matthew 22: 37-40).
And on this - although it is something completely forgotten - are based also the Italian Constitution, our laws and our hope to create a human society.
Only respect for others, their essence and their rights, can, in fact, the existence of a human society . The alternative is the herd of cattle.
Our Constitution does not draw only (As stated in the our Prime Minister) a system power management, and organizes a cultural and moral collective, based on deep respect and sincere people, of every person, not a "flock" of voters / consumers.
Remember always that the Church has excommunicated Marxism. And it's true and it is right, because that of Marx (I mean the philosophical doctrine and not this or that party that the recall) is a radically materialist doctrine, in which man does not exist as a person ( "rationalis naturae individua substantia "), but only as an individual functional herd. But
non si ricorda mai che la Chiesa ha scomunicato con uguale convinzione il liberalismo. La teoria dell’egoismo reso valore fondante. L’idea che si sta insieme solo perché conviene. L’idea che l’uomo sia naturalmente rapace. L’idea hobbesiana dell’ “homo homini lupus” . L’idea del puttaniere.
Dunque, amare qualcuno e anche “amare le donne” vuol dire rispettarle, godere della loro esistenza ( “come è bello che tu sia” è lo stupore che sta all’origine della filosofia), desiderare il loro bene e la loro felicità, sperare di condividerla per sempre (il sempre umano e, per chi ci crede, the eternal).
"I love you" in its proper sense does not mean "I love you" (even the rapist "wants" the woman who rapes), but "I want to make you happy" , "I want your own good ".
Article. 609 d of the Criminal Code punishes "corruption of minors" precisely because the law considers a value of respect for the individual and his inner world, values \u200b\u200bthat we want to have and that we should not destroy her.
Therefore, based on what he says about himself, it seems clear che il nostro Presidente, il nostro Capo che ci rappresenta tutti, non ama le donne, le vuole , le usa . Come dice lui, per passare delle serate di svago dopo le fatiche del potere.
Dall’insieme delle cose che dice sembra anche, purtroppo, che non solo non ami, ma che non sia capace di farlo e che, come accade a tanti, vittime dell’abuso e dell’usura delle parole di cui ho detto, neppure si renda conto di questa sua “disumana” (questo aggettivo duro lo traggo dalla rivista Famiglia Cristiana) incapacità, tanto da dire: «Questo fa parte della mia personalità e nessuno mi farà cambiare uno stile di vita di cui are absolutely proud ".
All this seems foreign to the question of law but, instead, is in the deepest heart of it.
save you learned to be concise and philosophical quotations, I refer you to a nice page of cinema.
In "Mission ", Father Gabriel (played by Jeremy Irons), when Rodrigo (played by Robert De Niro) tells him that he decided to fight with the Indians, says, "If that is the force that determines the right, then there is no room for love in this world " .
It is plain to everyone that these are years in which the force, only the strength, the most arrogant and power an end in itself, determines the content of the laws. That's
"party of love" is a clear lie, and unfortunately, not a lot of that fill every day news and parliamentary reports, but the worst and most dangerous.
I have two teenage children. I am not so concerned that we make mischief , who commit this or that sin (I hope they do this, but sin is human). I'm terrified of the danger they do not know what it means to love, because that would lead them to a greedy and selfish, then, inevitably violent. The foundation
della legge è il rispetto degli altri e non ci può essere rispetto senza amore e non ci può essere amore senza conoscenza e verità.
Per questo un governo, una televisione, un intero Paese bugiardi sono un corpo malato come più gravemente non si potrebbe.

P.S. – Per coloro che usano l’espressione priva di senso “antiberlusconismo” , preciso che non ho nulla contro il Presidente del Consiglio e che mi occupo di lui solo perché tutto ciò che lui fa per un verso ci rappresenta tutti, in quanto Capo del nostro Governo, e, per altro verso, incide massicciamente nella cultura diffusa del mio Paese.
