not allowed to vote for Emma Bonino, the real Christians vote Renata Polverini This, in brief, the contents of the e-mail Don Stefano Tardani, pastor of the Roman church of St. Thomas to Cenci, sent to parishioners in a week by the regional elections. A personal endorsement - Policy adherence - the candidate of the center-right that drove some of the couples who have attended courses in preparation of his parish, recipients of the letter, to forward the letter to the newspapers.
The text is eloquent: "In all conscience, who believe in love, life, family - Don writes Tardani - can not vote opposing the deployment [at Polverini, ed], which effectively denies these principles." "The option to abstain from voting - continues the priest - is an inappropriate choice because they are dancing too high and is a very critical moment where you have to come out to defend the very values \u200b\u200bof life and family and stop the disintegration already been implemented for many years in our country. " The gloss-style campaign: "For this, you can be confident that Lazio is better to vote the current deployment of Renata Polverini, as in other regions who support these values." In support of the text in the Annex, an article in the newspaper Libero, which shows a photo of the candidate of the center under the title "Bonino practiced illegal abortions."
"I do not know if we can act to take legal action against him for sending this, our emails are in his possession from the time of course but until now there had only written to advise of meetings, however, inherent in the business of the parish "writes a visitor to the course of Don Tardani Repubblica.it in the newspaper that has collected complaints of recipients of such letters was the parish priest. "I think it is useful and appropriate in a historic moment as the one that our country is going through - another reader writes, referring to the same email - reveal the Church's role in election campaigns."
The priest who defends his political action: "It happens, for Catholics, going to church to make the premarital course to ask the Catholic marriage, to ask for help, directions, and then to revolt when these indications are. The Church has its position as anyone else: I did not send the email to a group of strangers, but people who had come from me. In a democracy - Asks Don Tardani - we can express our views according to our values, or the priest as such must be silent? ".
The episode of propaganda to Renata Polverini by the parish priest of Rome comes at a time of warm relations between Church and politics. To put Christian values \u200b\u200bin relation to the election date of March 28 and 29 is in fact the president of the Italian bishops Angelo Bagnasco, who at the opening of the Permanent Council of Bishops expressed harsh words against abortion, as described a 'gradual catastrophe "that you want to make" invisible through the use of pills take at home. " "In this context, inevitably full of meaning - said the Cardinal - will be good citizenship shooting with great care each verification election, whether national or local and then regional.
