«Sgomento». Ha usato questo termine, il cardinale Angelo Bagnasco, per accennare ai fatti che occupano le prime pagine da giorni. È una parola vera. Basta guardarci, per accorgersene. Sorprendere il primo effetto che ha su di noi questa valanga di fango e di caos.Prima della repulsione di fronte allo squallore che viene a galla. Prima della ribellione per una battaglia politica fatta via inchieste e provvedimenti giudiziari, che sta mettendo a rischio il bene di tutti. Forse addirittura prima della rabbia e della pena per un Paese che avrebbe bisogno di tutt’altro e si ritrova impantanato tra bungabunga ed annizero. Before all this, or at least in all this, if we are the shock really fair of that name and dismay. That is, malaise. Discomfort. For a way of dealing with things and people of her sad, and made even more bitter when accompanied by the illusion of power everything, including escape from time. For the lie to those who wait "to change our lives" is any bag full of Euros, in return pocketed maybe giving yourself pushing or elbowing your daughter to do it. And also how to use it for anything to attack an opponent who has not managed to put down by force of votes and elections. Sex, money and politics. 'Lust, Wear and Power, "as Eliot said. After all, the story is always there. The Temptations eternal, ever and for all. Of course, the investigation is clear. Are there elements of an offense (crime, no sin: that, until proven otherwise, does not concern the prosecutor) is investigating, and soon. Just as it is urgent that everyone returns to do his job, that politicians, judges and media defer to the common good - a vocation which largely are losing - rather than "stretch pitfalls," as he remembered Cardinal Bagnasco, adding that " This situation will derive no reason to rejoice or to be the winner. " Let us not lose this opportunity to take seriously that initial backlash, that trouble. Do not let's move on - or not let us move - to the everlasting "Moral issue", inconsistency, on human frailty. Be very serious, to be taken into account, but after arriving, because basically we know that it is difficult to get in the shoes of those who cast the first stone. A moment earlier, however, there is uneasiness, restlessness deep. Which, if taken seriously, leads to a question: who can save us from this? Who can get us out of a depressing so we treat ourselves and others? Is there anything that can fill my life more than sex, money and power, or anything that we can reduce our desire for happiness? Someone able to attract all of us to himself, because - at last - Just to our hearts? Who can save humanity by Berlusconi, who's running around, who gives him - and mine, here and now? The salvation, the fullness of humanity, will not be politics if ever there was need for confirmation. Or by the courts. But who, then? Here launches its challenge to Christianity. Here, again, leads us to the end Christ. The Act purports to respond to our need for happiness. The only one that can generate a moral, that is, save the human challenge him with a charm more potent than the rest - everything - and attract to himself, to change it. Why is the One who fills cuore.Ma here you can also understand the realism of the criteria that the Church has always used to judge the politics and politicians: the common good, in fact, and the libertas Ecclesiae, first and most consistent and dell'ineccepibilità morale of the individual. They seem not to blame. Instead enter the substance until the end. Because if it is only Christ who saves the human, to preserve its presence in history - the church - means allowing space in the world, here and now. It means opening up the possibility that powerful, soubrette, judges and journalists (and us with them) encounter something that is worth living, and we ask cambiare.È this policy. Not salvation, but that leaves room for freedom in this place that also saves the policy, why in the world makes this something that has no comparison with wear, Lust and Power. Something infinitely greater. Someone real.
