Paradoxically, only a
monastery - a place seemingly closed, isolated - there may be one freedom that makes possible, in a very cold Saturday afternoon, a hundred people to discuss the Lay Christian values \u200b\u200band the Constitution as happened the other day thanks to ' Dossetti Association which is located right in the monastery of Marango. The topic Franco Monaco, a political scientist and journalist, but also very close associate of Mr Prodi and among the founders of the Olive Tree besides being a friend of Dossetti (in the last few years of his life when he decided to dissolve her silence to return - even he monaco ! - To defend the Constitution) but also close to Giuseppe Lazzati, so close that it wanted (which he, for solicitation of Cardinal Martini, the Church has begun the process of beatification), as best man and godfather of his first child. Monaco, a former Member is also the national secretariat of the PD besides being president of Catholic Milan at the explicit indication of that martini. Short, thick man, well-educated but also able to explain difficult concepts in a surprisingly simple. The purpose of the meeting was to reconsider the Constitution as a common matrix of political commitment and above all by lay Christians. If Paul VI loved argue that the world is fruitful field of holiness of the laity can not derive the absolute value the building of the city of man (admirable concept dear to Lazzati) for a layman Christian is a fruitful field of his holiness . And with words even more precise and strong: if policy means that science aims to build the city of man, politics is for vocationally motivated the Christian and therefore not withdraw . But without fundamentalism or unnecessary barricades: can not be built at a time when - ironically as he himself pointed out Monaco - "only" 27% of Italians may be said to be a practicing Catholic and therefore belongs to a small minority that has increasingly, and rightly so, divided in all the ranks constitutional. At a Synod of Bishops (the general assembly of all the bishops of a given country), with his usual clarity Dossetti said to them: if Christian morality sometimes it misses the mark, at least we call ' Constitutional ethics is the ethics of coexistence that is the first step of divine justice . It 's just Constitution, therefore, represent the common ground that who does an admirable synthesis between the different sensitivity. And never before has the Constitution must be preserved and protected from those who want to modify in a subtle and subterranean.
I had the chance to take back to Monaco and Mestre chiachcierare therefore with him by car for an hour. He told me and told me interesting things and some unknown. We also talked at length about the Italian political situation and our PD converging on all assessments. but, if I may (and no, because at least here I can do what I want) I keep them myself for me.
Thanks to our brothers and sisters Marango thanks Dossetti Association and ... that the force be with you!
