People Who Refuse Gifts

No, dear Tarquinio: the procession is not a Christian moralist

not convince me, and I do not mean to debate the future of editorial released yesterday and signed by its director, Mark Tarquinio, whose daring costume intellectual states that if a woman would be in place today. The disguise not so much to imagine a woman as any novelist, even if not necessarily homosexual, must constantly cope with the diversity - in thought and body - of which we are all facts.
What is not persuaded that Tarquin would be in place only if it were a woman. But since it is not, will not go there. Why? There will be Antonio Di Pietro, Nichi Vendola, Gad Lerner: Why should not there also Mark Tarquinio? Why should it be present at that time only if it were a woman? Why settle for hoping that the square-female "and not s'arrovelli s'arroventi 'if not then he will be there, to contribute to this effect?
In short, it seems to me that Tarquin, although the level of his speech, which are not foreign accents really lyrical, in the end not just the stories, because if you tell it right, if you really wanted, as he himself wrote the first line of his editorial , to prevail on politichetta love, then it should put your finger in the pie, because we know that love does not prevail on politichetta alone, and that's good wishes and good intentions are part, of course, the paving of ' hell.
He says it himself - and on this I disagree - that "in reality we all unfortunately." If you really believe in this thing, then go to the end. In the square. A scream. But I still do not believe in this resistance and (possibly empty Tarquinio judge) I find one of the few reasons to engage intellectually in these sad days in which each of us seems forced to choose between the silly and the joy of the bunga bunga gloom moralist of Eco, Saviano and Zagrebelsky.
The reality is, beloved Tarquin and ultrapersonale numinous entity: the reality does who wants to do, whether secular or Catholic or even a bishop. Look what he wrote in 1973, or thirty years ago, the Jesuit Michel de Certeau: "Any debate about the practices or civil life in the public arena invariably brings an ecclesiastical character and speeches religious. These characters and this conversation no longer intervene as witnesses of truth. They play quite a role play. They are part of the repertoire of social commedia dell'arte. "
goes without saying that the problem of degradation reached by the image of women in our society exists. But I do not underestimate, as it does Tarquin, the problem of "non-passing of the baton 'between the old feminist movement, which includes figures of heroic women, and the young generation of our time.
In fact, that failure to pass lies a problem that affects us all. There was a time when the feminist movement could assert itself culturally with a protagonist who, however, did not, leaving too soon absorbed by the Left parties (who were sexist as all other) or refusing to supervise the dangerous receivers, such as that of liberation through sexuality.
For years we've peeled the glossy magazines left in the image of a topless woman was a symbol of emancipation, as well as the refusal of the family and the ruthlessness of the costumes in the spirit of renewal of society were considered the ne plus ultra of the fight for the liberation of women.
This confusion, which were unable to cope with the minds of great value, is unresolved, not only for the image of women, but - metaphorically - For all our lives. There was a time when the thought, thinking as such, ie the ability to think freely, and justified in our condition, has been absorbed in a vacuum of freedom in which even the finest minds have been reduced to theatrical appearances, to actors, just as the prelates he was talking about Michel de Certeau.
What do you think I care, dear Tarquinio, a square with Di Pietro, Nichi Vendola, Game Aulenti and Cortellesi? What words can we expect to hear? The dramatic conditions in which many of our poorest children to without even realizing it will not receive any light from this event, indeed: his uselessness could only produce a little ' of hope in the least, a bit 'more of darkness.
One thing I beg you, she runs a day so important and potentially free: Forget the reality shows and comedy, and stop with the usual old story of cattolichese "differentiate by participating," as she does, approving the But putting the dots on the square i. Enough with the dots on the i. Everyone should put the game away in the sunshine.
As for me, I hope every day in God, so my words are not empty as those who claim to fight. No one can be considered a priori the side of truth, let alone if it catholic. For this, dear Tarquinio, let us beware of those who, instead - And today there are many - it is considered such.
