The wise Woman and the stone


 
Wise Woman was travelling alone in the mountains. She stopped by a stream as she was very thirsty.

She saw a beautiful colorful stone on the bottom of the stream, partially hidden by the rocks. She picked it up and realized that it was ia precious gem.

She placed into her bag and kept walking.

Few miles up the mountain she encountered a man who stopped her and asked her for some food as he was lost, tired and hungry.

She opened her bag. He saw the precious stone and asked her if she could give the gem to him.

She silenty agreed and gave the man the stone.

The man was very happy when he realized that the stone was enough for him to live rich and happy for the rest of his life.

A few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman “I’ve been thinking” He said.

“I know how valuable the stone is, but I want to give it back to you with the hope that you can give me something even more precious.

Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone” -Author Unknown-

Pope Francis will clean the Vatican like San Francesco


(by pio dal cin)March 15th 2013 00:18 a.m (Rome Time GMT+1) As Pope Francesco begins His Papacy with a visit to the Church of  Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome to pay respect to Mary Mother of Jesus. known to the people of Rome as

Maria Salus Populi Romani.


 
Pope Francesco boarded a simple car instead of the Official Vatican Car and with a simple bouquet of flowers in His hand went to the Church to pray silently for about ten minutes in front of the Altar.
 
His simple ways highlited here by The New York Times appeared immediate as He choose his papal name as Francesco as the Greatest Saint in the History of the Church.

Even the +Dalai Lama  made a +Google+  post to acknowledge that He knows and Loves Saint Francis of Assisi for His discipline,simple ways, and Love for All Creatures.

Being the first Pope ever to choose  such a Great Name puts Him on a very important spot. Not easy to manage.

The need for a simple Man that can embrace the Original Message of Jesus through the New Testament withnessed in person by Saint Francis of Assisi was strongly needed in a corrupted and evil world that hasn’t spared even the Vatican in the past decade.

1)Vatican Leaks
2)Pedophile Scandals in the Catholic Church
3)The IOR Vatican Bank Scandals
4)Vatican richness

He has a though job ahead of Him, but His simple ways (He greeted the crowd in St.Peter with a “Fratelli e Sorelle Buonasera”) have already conquered the world. He asked the people who gathered in the Square to Bless Him, before He would Bless them.
How many Wolves will this Pope with Italian Origins will have to encounter inside the Vatican, like

Saint Francis with the Gubbio’s Wolf (see video here)

New Pope O’Malley Cardinal with “what it takes” (a plea to the Holy Spirit)


(by pio dal cin) Saturday March 9th 2013 7:00 Rome Time.
With the Conclave Extra Hommnes  from the Latin word ”cum clavem” (with key) that comes from what happened in 1270 when the people of Viterbo locked the cardinals in the City’s Palace until they reached the election of Gregory X

The process to elect the new Head of the Catholic Church will begin on Tuesday March 12th. 
As I stated in a previous post( A fool’s prediction),  trying to make a prediction is like to be able to guess the lottery numbers. Anyone can be right or wrong.


I was brought up a Christian Catholic in a very strict way. My name comes from Padre Pio da Petrelcina whom my dad met many times when he was a “small friar” battered by the Church and confined without the permission to Celebrate the Mass as he was becoming popular among the crowds for His “miracles”.

                      (Mons. Albino Luciani-Pope John Paul the I with my father) I met two Popes personally in my life: Pope John Paul

the I and Pope John Paul the II. (foto copyright pio dal cin 2013)



During my travelling around the World, as a photojournalist I came in touch and I studied 
Islam, Ebraism, Buddhism and the Religion of the Native Americans, out of my curiosity of understanding where, if there is one, lies the Truth.

I must admit that I wasn’t thrilled about Pope Benedict VXI; not much for His great personality and profound culture, but for the fact that he “sported” those huge golden crosses on His neck and the “fisherman ring” was big enough to buy a couple of apartments.

I kept repeating to myself that “This cannot be Sacred..” Isn’t the Church supposed to support the poverty as one of the three wows?”

Native Americans have a saying “If it is Sacred it must be Free..” I like this. But how many controversial, not free items are there in the Catholic Church today? Why is the Legacy of Saint Peter obliterated by scandals of the Vatican’s funds of million of Euros? 

I learned that the IOR (the Vatican Bank)is the most powerful bank in the whole world.


This should change, in my humble opininion. Saint Francis of Assisi was called by Jesus
to “Repair the Church”“Vai Francesco, ripara la mia Chiesa” and was cited here by Benedict VXI.

Times are very hard and the sex scandals, Vatican Leaks and not so transparent transactions of the Church are “rocking the Boat” like never before. 

Given my statement that “You have to be a Fool to make a prediction of choosing a Pope”, I will have another approach and “write a letter of plead to the Holy Spirit“, asking to pick the only one I saw that fits the description of Saint Francis of Assisi: Cardinal Sean O’Malley (read His blog)

LETTER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT: I will start with this Song to the Holy Spirit, that is sung by the Cardinals upon entering the Conclave, to ask for Divine Inspiration.






Dear Holy Spirit,

I am just a grain of sand in the Universe. I understand nothing about the Laws and the Forces that balance the Great Space.

Many Humans call upon Your Force and Greatness. Some call You Great Spirit, other call You Holy Spirit, other do not even believe in You.

During these days the Catholic Church is called to elect the Captain of the Ship.  

It is been very hard for me in these past years to believe that Your Holy Presence is among those walls, given all the scandals that we heard about.

It is very hard to boftenelieve that the Spirit of Jesus and of Saint Peter, and Saint Francis of Assisi is behind the gold and richness ofnen shown by those who are called to be Your servants, while there are million of people who suffer in the World.

So here is my humble plea: If You are really among those walls, Shed  a Great LIght upon those who are called to elect the new Pope so that His ways will be as Jesus requested of
simplicity and trasparency. a real Sheperd that can show the World that Jesus is still among us human beings in the way HE  taught us.

My pick is Sean O’ Malley

(I know that You don’t need suggestions but at least I casted my vote)

The new Pope? Who will He be? A fool’s prediction(mine)


(by pio dal cin) March 6th 2013 11:00 pm (GMT+1)
As I red the “Washington Post” article about the”AmericanCardinals” involved in the election of the new Pope, my attention was attracted by these few lines:
Di Nardo and O’Malley drew laughs when one reporter asked O’Malley, a member of the Capuchin order, if he would continue to wear his trademark brown robes if elected pope.

“I’ve worn this uniform for over 40 years and I presume I will wear it until I die,” he said. “I don’t expect to be elected pope, so I don’t expect to have to change.”
t
This was the second time I heard this today: first time on the Italian National Radio. The words “Capucine” attracted my attention, as I did not know that there was an American Cardinal who wears the “saio” (the Capucine uniform) for forty years.
 
Whomever tries to make a prediction about who is going to be the next Pope is a fool, as there are two ways of looking at this event that is monopolizing the attention of over Five thousand accredited journalists from all over the world:
 
A): The Vatican is a Earthly Power made by people like you and I, owners of the most powerful bank in the world (the IOR). As any other power on this earth the election will deliver the new Pontiff as the Head of a State (The Vatican)and any name among the 115 cardinals could be the one to take St.Peter’s Legacy.
 
B): As seen from a Christian Catholic point of view the “Conclave” is fueled by the Holy Spirit, therefore the Chosen will be absolutely without any possibility of mistake the “Right One”.
 
After this any prediction is impossible. There are no ways. Probably guessing the Lotto numbers will be a lot easier.
 
A FOOL PREDICTION
 
My name is Pio. My father Narciso named me after a Capucine Saint he had the priviledge of knowing when He was an unknown Capucine Friar healing people and making “miracles.
The Church confined him without the permission to celebrate the Holy Mass, for ten long years, on the ground that He, Himself was considered “strange”. He is now a Saint; Saint Pio or better known as “Padre Pio da Petrelcina”.
 
I grew up in a very Christian Catholic environment and my life was filled with its simbols from my childhood. I had the opportunity of meeting two Popes in my life: the first one was John Paul the First, Albino Luciani. More than once, as He was the Bishop of Vittorio Veneto, where I grew up, and then, during a private visit of my family to the Partiarcat of Venice, where He spent his last years before becoming Pope John Paul I.
 
The second Pope I met was Pope John Paul II for three times as I followed him as a young photojournalist during His vacation on the Dolomites‘ town of Lorenzago.
Does this make me an expert on Popes?
Absolutely not, just another fool trying to make a prediction.
 
HARD TIMES FOR THE CHURCH
 
Times are hard for the Catholic Church, battling amid sex scandals and the “Vatican Leaks” files.
The need is for a strong Pope, one Captain that can take the helm of the Ship and go trough one of  Church’s worst hurricanes in history.
 
It is time for a Pope with the “saio” who can bring the Church back to the times of Saint Francis of Assisi, the poor friar who made a great revolution in the Church with His humble, poor ways.
Without a Pope that can rid the Vatican from all the “evils” represented by richness, golden crosses, money trades that cannot be tracked for million of Euros and all the sex scandals that have come up in the last few years, more than a Ship, it will look like the Titanic, headed for a Iceberg.
 
As a Fool prediction I will pick Cardinal O’Malley, hoping that if He gets elected He will keep wearing the “saio” for the next forty years, but this time as a Pope, making the “B” option above more credible.

(by pio dal cin) +Google+  has announced today that accessibility has been improved for the hearing impaired on Hangouts. Read the post below by +Anna Cavender  that I saw trough +Loren Groves (thanks dude for sharing +Sharing is Caring on G+ )

Anna Cavender originally shared this post:
Improving accessibility in Hangouts

Accessibility is something we care a lot about on the Hangouts team. The Hangout Captions app, for example, enables live transcription services for the deaf and hard of hearing (http://goo.gl/4RujF). And “Take the Floor” makes it easier for sign language speakers to do a Hangout together (http://goo.gl/chyKS). Today we’re rolling out two accessibility improvements in Hangouts – a Sign Language Interpreter app, and a fuller set of keyboard shortcuts.

1) Using the Sign Language Interpreter app, deaf or hard of hearing users who prefer sign language can invite interpreters to speak and sign for them during a Hangout. They’ll always see their interpreter at the top right of the window, and they’ll become the focus of the Hangout whenever their interpreter speaks for them. You can install the app using this link: https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_?gid=532733437531.

2) Keyboard shortcuts are also available in Hangouts — great for people who can’t or don’t want to use a mouse during the video chat. For example: muting your microphone is now as simple as Ctrl+D (PC) or Command+D (Mac), and you can start chatting with Ctrl+B (PC) or Command+B (Mac). To view the full list of keyboard shortcuts just type ‘?’ while in a Hangout, or visit this page:support.google.com/plus/bin/answer.py?answer=2752487.

Both features are rolling out gradually, so let us know what you think once you’ve taken them for a spin!

Maroni Presidente della Lombardia un umile consiglio


(by pio dal cin) Il monento difficile che stiamo attraversando politicamente presenta  sfide e scenari inediti dal punto di vista politico.

Il parlamento è diviso in tre grandi spezzoni che difficilmente potranno convivere a lungo. L’affermazione di Berlusconiche tutti davano per spacciato (io per primo) . La “vittoria” di Bersani, e la valanga Grillo.La Lega ha perso metà dei consensi e questo è un segnale forte alla dirigenza. Mentre scrivo Maroni intervistato daBruno Vespa ha affermato di preferire la “Vittoria Politica su un progetto (il grande Nordpiuttosto che avere qualche parlamentare in piu’. 

Certo che la vittoria di Maroni pesa molto sulla bilancia Nazionale. Se la Lega ha perso una marea di consensi (dai moderati) e ha subito un’emoraggia di voti, deve interrogarsi sul perchè. Le lotte intestine e gli scandali che l’hanno travolta nell’ultimo anno hanno cambiato per sempre la struttura di questo partito Popolare che aveva nell’onestà dei suoi dirigenti basato tutti i suoi consensi e le vittorie politiche dal 1992 ad oggi.

Con l’affermazione di Maroni a presidente della Lombardia si apre un nuovo scenario. Un grande Nord formato da Piemonte (Cota) Lombardia(Maroni) Veneto (Zaia e Tosi) Friuli (Tondo). Una forza che prescinde totalmente dall’andazzo Nazionale delle elezioni. Maroni si è giocato tutte le carte su questa vittoria e, da politico acuto ed intelligente sapeva che la Lega entrava male in queste elezioni. Lo aveva detto durante un’intervista qualche settimana fa che il “timone” della Lombardia gli interessava molto di più dei risultati Nazionali.

                                                      Cosa succederà?

Nessuno ha la sfera di cristallo ma tutti convengono sul fatto che qualsiasi sia il governo che uscirà da queste elezioni non durerà a lungo (leggi posts precedenti nel mio blog).

Il mio umile consiglio a Maroni è il seguente: Rifondare la Lega con un nome diverso.
Zaia, Tosi, Cota e Maroni assieme sono abbastanza forti da fondare un partito per il Grande Nord che se si presentasse alle elezioni che non tarderanno ad arrivare potrà raccogliere un consenso molto ampio che vorrei sbilanciarmi nel quantificare in un 12-15%.

Diversamente c’è la fine politica di questo movimento che ha segnato per sempre la Storia ed il modo di pensare della Gente del Nord. 

Non è scandaloso rinnovarsi e staccarsi da una vecchia metodologia che non riuscirà a scrollarsi di dosso gli scandali che l’hanno esposta alla gogna.

 Con questi presidenti di Regioni molto importanti Maroni, Cota, Zaia (con il supporto di Tosi in Veneto  e Tondo per il Friuli) l’elettorato leghista potrà convincersi che il progetto interregionale puo’ diventare realtà, a prescindere da qualsiasi risultato le urne abbiano partorito in questa tornata elettorare.

Occorre far presto. Le nuove elezioni non tarderanno ad arrivare e questa, è l’unica strada che la lega puo’ provare a percorrere. Bisogna liberarsi dei fantasmi del passato e ripartire con nuove energie.

Questo è il mio umile consiglio .

To all corrupted politicians in Italy. On your last day, you’ll regret your behaviour


Italian Stereotype - 1.Liar

Italian Stereotype – 1.Liar (Photo credit: Raffaello Robbiani)

(by pio dal cin) To all the corrupted politicians out there. Listen to the voices of the People of Italy crying for some relief. Before you are a politician you are (or at least should be) a MAN.

Next time you hoover over a City with your helicopter on the way to make a multimillion euro deal, think of the person in despair because he just lost his job, or because the enterprise he started with great sacrifices is about to collapse, maybe for a bill, or a law that you voted.

Think of a mother trying to feed the children with less than a thousand euros a month, while you are getting a message on your Iphone telling you that your 90thousand euro pension has been deposited in your bank account.

Think of a young couple who will not be able to start a family because the Bank just denied them a mortgage as they only have one paycheck a month and it won’t be enough.

Think of all the money you stole, and you are stealing from the poor people. One day you are going to die too. You will die rich and perhaps you’ll regret on your death bed not having being able to be honest and it will be the moment you’ll meet your Creator, it will be the saddest moment of your life.

Honesty
To achieve honesty within yourself,
To recognize who and what you are ,
Do this and you can be honest with all others

Humility
Humble yourself and recognize that
No matter how much you think you know,
You know very little of all the universe.

Truth
To learn truth,
To live with truth, and
To walk with truth,
To speak truth

Wisdom
To have wisdom is to know the difference between good and bad, and
To know the result of your actions

Love
Unconditional love to know that when people are weak
They need your love the most,
That your love is given freely, and
You cannot put conditions on it
Or your love is not true

Respect
Respect others, their beliefs, and
Respect yourself.
If you cannot show respect,
You cannot expect respect to be given

Bravery
To be brave is to do something right,
Even if you know it’s going to hurt you.

From the Archives: George Washington Writes in the Margins


From the Archives: George Washington Writes in the Margins

Last month, President Obama began his second Inaugural Address by saying, “Each time we gather to inaugurate a President we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution.” President Obama’s words resonate as the anniversary of George Washington’s birthday approaches on February 22, popularly known as Presidents’ Day.

Over two centuries ago, on April 30, 1789, George Washington delivered his first Inaugural Address knowing that he had little to guide him in the job that lay ahead but the principles stated in the Constitution. The Articles of the Constitution had been debated, discussed, and agreed upon just two summers earlier by the delegates of the Constitution Convention, and were still untested. Nevertheless, Washington was a strong supporter of the Constitution and would look to it for guidance in his unprecedented role as President.

During Washington’s first year in office, Congress ordered 600 copies of the Acts of Congress to be printed and distributed to federal and state government officials. The book compiled the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and other legislation passed by the first session of Congress.

George Washington’s personal copy of the Acts of Congress contains his own handwritten notes in the margins. The notes provide insight into his crucial role in the implementation and interpretation of the Constitution and the establishment of the new American government.

Washington rarely wrote on the pages of his books, and the presence of his distinct handwriting makes the historic volume even more remarkable. Customarily, Washington preferred to take notes on a separate sheet of paper, which he would insert into a book. But in his copy of the Acts of Congress, he not only wrote directly in the margins but also drew brackets next to the passages of particular interest to him.

Only three copies of this book are known to have survived: Washington’s copy and the copies belonging to Thomas Jefferson and John Jay. After his two terms in office, Washington brought the book home to Mount Vernon. It stayed in the Washington family until 1876 and then passed through a series of collectors.

Last year, the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association secured the book at an auction, bringing it back to George Washington’s home. It is now on display at Mount Vernon in Virginia through Presidents’ Day.  Beginning in March, Washington’s Acts of Congress will travel the country and visit the 13 Presidential Libraries of the National Archives through a partnership with Mount Vernon.

In George Washington’s first Inaugural Address he referred to the new government as an “experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.” Fifty-six Presidential inaugurations later, President Barack Obama spoke of the Constitution as an enduring framework for our government. The opportunity to see Washington’s Acts of Congress,complete with his carefully penciled notes, provides a rare glimpse into history that is as relevant today as it was 224 years ago.

The nationwide tour of the Acts of Congress is also an opportunity to reflect on the presidency and to wonder what it would feel like to take on the role of Commander in Chief. We’ve put together a gallery of inaugural moments that feature holdings from the 13 Presidential Libraries.

And while there are no photos of America’s first Presidential inauguration, we’ve included pages from George Washington’s first Inaugural Address from the holdings of the National Archives, as well as Washington’s historic copy of the Acts of Congress, courtesy of the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association.

Happy Presidents’ Day!

(by pio dal cin) February 15th 2013 10:23 pm. What a great experience today. I had the great privilege and honour to talk to Astronaut +Samantha Cristoforetti  from the +European Space Agency, ESA  in  Germany. We had a friendly talk about her upcoming experience on November 2014 when she will be a member of the crew going into the ISS (International Space Station) where she will spend six months orbiting around the Earth. I learned many things that I did not know about the ISS and life up there. One astonishing fact for me was the speed of travelling around the Earth as it takes about one and a half hour to complete an orbit. Curious to find out? Just watch this video and find out all the details of a great mission.

+Samantha Cristoforetti  will be the first Italian woman to have the honour of being sent into space to the ISS.

Thanks again for your time.  I had a great time

+Google+  hosted the third Hangout with President +Barack Obama  from the +The White House . Here are the exclusive Screenshots of the event that just ended a couple of minutes ago.

The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly although very important issues were adressed to the President regarding the economy, jobs, the gun control issue and other topics.

On the second part  the participants asked a few lighter questions like the lady from Hawaii who asked the President +Barack Obama how living there affected his life, or the couple expecting a child about which name the president would pick for her…

A great hangout to watch and the great feeling of knowing that this way of communicating has become a familiar way for us as well as for the President of the United States of America.
Personally I would like to thank +Sarah Hill  who believed in Hangouts “When Hangouts weren’t cool* and gave me the great opportunity to participate as a guest to her first LIVE Hangout from a broadcast bach in Sept 12 2011.

Fini il “galletto” nel pollaio con Casini e Rutelli troverà l’Oste e finirà arrosto


Due galli nel pollaio non possono coesistere, questo ci insegna la saggezza dei nostri proverbi. Fini ha deciso quindi di crearsene uno suo con i suoi fedelissimi trentatre pollastri. Vicini di casa altri due “galletti” condivideranno con lui una fetta di parlamento che viene già definita il terzo “pollo” (pardon POLO)  del quale la politica sembra non poter, o non voler fare a meno in questo momento.

Lo sgambetto a Berlusconi, varrà a Fini l’alleanza con Casini e Rutelli,  ed ecco fatta una nuova realtà politica che molto probabilmente sfocierà a settembre in una crisi di governo e ad elezioni anticipate. Ecco quindi che Fini serve alla sinistra la testa del Cavaliere in un piatto d’argento, dando loro quello che tanto amano in questi ultimi anni una nuova “campagna elettorale” dalla quale le sinistre non sono mai riuscite a staccarsi. A Di Pietro e Bersani piace essere sempre in campagna elettorare poichè entrambi sperano in una ressurrezione politica che manca loro dallo strepitoso successo della lega, ma che non avverrà perchè sia Fini che Casini e Rutelli, stanno facendo i conti senza l’oste.

E l’Oste con la O maiuscola è Bossi, che consapevole della grande popolarità della lega e della sua inossidabile alleanza con il premier, sa che questo sarà il viatico per rimandare a casa una volta per tutte e con un sonoro “calcio nel sedere politico” il traditore dell’alleanza Gianfranco Fini. Nello staccarsi da berlusconi ha firmato da solo la propria condanna in nome di libertà presunte e non garantite dal Pdl, ha gettato alle ortiche una coalizione che era partita più blindata di Fort Knox.

L’Oste lo sappiamo bene, cucina i suoi polli a fuoco lento, dopo averli ben ingrassati con un buon mangime. Si preparino quindi i tre ad un autunno molto caldo che varrà loro un ‘ennesima sconfitta fatta di presunti numeri e presunte alleanze che se anche dovessero improbabilmente  tenere, non si avvicinerebbero in qualsiasi modo allo strapotere esercitato dall’aleanza Bossi- Belusconi.

Fini perderà quindi due delle cose che gli stanno più a cuore; la leadership (se non limitata al pollaio dei trentatre) e la luce dei rilettori che saranno puntati su di lui solo momentaneamente, ma che si spegneranno subito quando inevitabilmente farà la fine che si meritano i traditori “l’oblio”. Forse potrà sperare solo di passare alla storia come quello che ha fatto cadere il governo Berlusconi, ma sarà la magra soddisfazione di uno che si da una martellata sulle palle, visto che di quel governo ha fatto parte anche lui. Un Karakiri politico. Ben gli sta, dicono a Nord i Leghisti che da mesi oramai non ne possono più di sentirsi dettare le regole da un Fini che malato di protagonismo ha sparato contro Silvio e indirettamente contro la Lega, inimicandosi così, ingenuamente dal punto politico, un Popolo del Nord del quale oramai nessuna forza politica che voglia governare, può fare a meno di tenere in considerazione.

Casini Rutelli e Fini sembrano i tre ufficiali abbandonati su una scialuppa dagli ammutinati del Bounty e forse finiranno se va loro bene su un’isola deserta popolata di giovani donne che sapranno forse consigliarli meglio di quelle con le quali sembrano essersi consultati fin qua.

Riderà forse Di Pietro che sperando in qualche punto percentuale in più, se i andasse alle elezioni, e continuerà ad inveire e a starnazzare alzando la voce contro Berlusconi e la Lega. E quì ritroviamo i proverbi e la saggezza popolare che recita: “Ride ben chi ride ultimo”ma l’ultimo a ridere non sarà nemmeno il “calesse” di Bersani con dentro i D’alema  e Franceschini che ritorneranno finalmente a quello che amano di più fare : Campagna Elettorale. Con un solo grande difetto: che non riescono mai in tempo a capire quando questa sia già finita e continuano imperterriti anche dopo aver perduto con sonore batoste le elezioni a sperare in una rinascita che visti i presupposti non avverrà prima, forse, dei prossimi trent’anni.

Codognè- Meno male che c’è Roberto Bet


Oggi, leggendo un giornale locale ho avuto la conferma di quanto strisciante e meschina possa essere a volte la polemica, quando, fatta male, rende più danno a chi l’ha innescata che a colui al quale era rivolta.

La sinistra, con la maschera di lista civile, ha perso le elezioni amministrative a Codognè, provincia di Treviso, un paese di circa 5000 abitanti ovviamente Cristiani Cattolici. Un pesante 65% che ancor oggi brucia come mai e la prova del peso di tale sconfitta è data dagli interventi volti ad attaccare il neoeletto sindaco di Codognè il primo sindaco leghista nella storia del paese Bet avvocato Roberto.

La settimana scorsa una ordinanza che vuole tutelare la serenità e la tranquillità dei paesani nei confronti di chi dovesse girare a volto coperto per il paese, è stata attaccata come “propaganda elettorale”. Poi la Croce nel Parco della Mutera.

Un gruppo di cittadini chiede al sindaco di esporre una Croce (alta circa 4 metri) in un parco pubblico, fino a Pasqua.Il sindaco accetta ben volentieri, come ha fatto per il periodo Natalizio con il Presepe.

Due simboli cardine della nostra cultura Cristiana, Cattolica,  Italiana, Veneta, Contadina, Trevigiana. La sinistra infuriata attacca Roberto Bet  accusandolo di “strumentalizzare la Croce a fini elettorali”. Si parla di “Croce brutta”(ma come si fa a definire il simbolo della nostra fede “brutto”?) ed innesca la polemica.

Ieri, infine si arriva a definire la Croce “Falsa” poichè la Lega, organizzando uno spiedo durante il Venerdi’ di Quaresima si macchia di un grave peccato, in quanto, mangiar carne di venerdì, durante la quaresima è proibito.

Questa purtroppo è la sinistra di oggi. Priva di leader capaci di un’opposizione costruttiva, si abbassa a compromessi di ogni genere pur di attirare l’attenzione, solo che, attaccando queste “pietre miliari” della nostra cultura e tradizione Veneta, non si accorge del clamoroso autogol che infligge a se stessa.

Ergendosi a giudice dei presunti peccati altrui, non si accorge di svendere per pochi voti in più i pilastri della nostra cultura, cercando di minarne le radici più profonde quali i simboli religiosi che mai dovrebbero essere terreno di scontro tra Cristiani .

Ma cosa significa essere Cristiani al giorno d’oggi? Che significato ha una Croce, un Presepio, una Processione? Saremmo eventualmente disposti a  difendere questi valori, queste tradizioni che se dipendessero dalla sinistra  buonista verrebbero buttati letteralmente alle ortiche?

Come delle vecchie sagre paesane che sono scomparse negli anni vedremo sparire i simboli stessi della nostra fede.

Il Presepio? Turba la tranquillità tra le varie confessioni religiose(dicono) . Sembra però turbare di più i sonni tranquilli di chi vorrebbe cancellarli dalla “realtà” pubblica. Un presepe va bene in casa, ma in piazza no; quasi ci vergognassimo a sostenere l’origine della nostra fede.

La Croce? Togliamola dall’Europa, Togliamola dai luoghi pubblici, turba la sensibilità di chi non è Cristiano (e invece i fatti di questi giorni dimostrano che disturbano di più certi sedicenti cristiani)

Se questa è la linea politica della sinistra allora il 65% dei cittadini di Codognè che hanno appoggiato la Lega, ed il Pdl durante le ultime amministrative, dormano pure sonni tranquilli. Abbiamo eletto un sindaco che si batterà per tenere alti i nostri valori, quelli nei quali crediamo più di ogni altra cosa; le nostre radici, gli insegnamenti  che arrivano dai nostri antenati e che sono sempre stati ben piantate nel nostro territorio come i tralci delle viti che coltiviamo.

Agli altri che hanno creduto  ai leader della sinistra generosa e buonista, suggeriamo un ripensamento, in attesa che nascano dei nuovi leader più capaci di quelli attuali . Ma ci vorranno molti, molti anni ancora. Meno male che a Codognè c’è Roberto Bet con la sua squadra che subito dopo essere eletto ha dato una mano ai due asili di Codognè e Cimetta, sta ogni giorno combattendo la dura battaglia per avere una sanità che funzioni meglio sul territorio; l’ADSL per essere al passo con i tempi; che con iniziative nuove cerca di dare un nuovo volto al paese forse troppo spesso dimenticato da una sinistra disattenta ai problemi reali ma pronta a puntare un dito accusatore sui presunti “peccati” dell’attuale amministrazione.

Forse la carne mangiata di venerdì non è il peggiore dei peccati.

Sarebbe meglio astenersi dall’ipocrisia, dalla cattiveria, dal continuo scontro con l’avversario. Alla fine facciamo tutti parte della stessa comunità e vogliamo tutti il bene per il nostro paese , dove finalmente,all’inizio di un millennio si respira un’aria più buona e ci si proietta verso un futuro migliore per noi ed i nostri figli, senza dimenticare chi siamo e da dove veniamo.
