Tattoos On Top Of My Foot

Osservatore Romano

REGARDING UPCOMING ELECTIONS REGIONAL newspaper of the Holy See has published a statement by Cardinal Agostino Vallini vicar.
Certainly in this political manifesto of the Church that all Catholics should form their own in their daily work, it is unlikely that the candidate can identify Bonino. In my opinion also for the program should go Polverini bit 'tight. There are only lists of counselors, the PDL is not there, and then the criticism should be directed to the PD governo.I Catholics have shared everything, but in PD - as elsewhere in Italy - there are not only their . The League with its xenophobic policies, there just can not recognize, though brandishing a crucifix. And do not count in the Lazio Region. Who should then this warning? UDC perhaps? It would be an invitation for a few.

we read:
"In these days of election campaign, marked by a climate far from peaceful, some organ of the press and private citizens have wondered why" the Chiesa ufficiale nel Lazio non parla”, trattandosi di una competizione “anomala” rispetto al confronto tra i tradizionali schieramenti. La risposta più semplice è che forse non ce n’è bisogno, tanto sono chiare le posizioni. Ma un paio di considerazioni mette conto farle, a prescindere dal problema delle liste.

Anzitutto il rispetto che si deve ai cittadini, che non sono dei fanciulli spensierati, a cui si devono dispensare buoni consigli e ricordare di continuo i valori in gioco. Nel contesto di una crisi economica così grave che toglie la serenità a tante famiglie e getta nello sconforto gran parte dei giovani, tutt’altro che speranzosi per il loro futuro, le promesse elettorali riscuotono poca attention, because, unfortunately, is very low confidence in the political class in general. The pastors of the Church, which in the ministry meet people every day, and the ecclesial community are convinced that the words that are heard are those readily confirmed by the testimony of life and commitment and consistent practice. According

. The company to which we aspire, in compliance with democratic rules and who does not think like us, it is difficult to build and for which we stand, has an "obsession" to hang around, which is the dignity of the human person, created in the image and likeness of God, and his integral development, which - as teaches the pope - "concerns the whole person in all its dimensions." So the man considered to be not only in its soil, but in the eternal perspective, without which "human progress in this world is devoid of breath," because "locked up in the story, it runs the risk of being reduced to only increase of having "(CV 11). The political project that we support rights deemed "indispensable", as the recognition that effective exercise of religious freedom, the defense of the sacredness of human life from conception to natural death, the fundamental freedoms of the individual, the family based on marriage between a man and a woman, open to motherhood and responsible parenthood, education and freedom of education, paid work in justice, health care, openness to immigrants in a system of laws which combines together welcome, legality and safety, housing, care for creation. In a word, the common good that is only if it guarantees that all the conditions of social life through which citizens can pursue their completion.

These rights and human and civil values, Christian citizens - for whom faith is not a feeling that spring is molded at will and in every circumstance but the right way and the end of life - will also support with their votes. It can not therefore equate qualunquisticamente all political projects, because not all embody the values \u200b\u200bwe cherish. Neither can be provided delegation of political representation to those who seek more political project, which is foreign to us and we do not. And we deplore any form of electioneering, touted as a supporter of the Catholic vision, but that is not. "
