It is at least curious to find that, at least in other parts of the world, there are still some states that have the courage to decide their own political future, to avoid possible interference from anyone, not even the Pope himself
in Brazil is having a major impact the news of the official request by the Brazilian Ambassador to the Holy See, Joao Pinto Tubarao , that the Pope cancels his trip to Brazil scheduled for May at the Assembly of CELAM , Fifth Episcopal Conference of Bishops of Latin America and the Caribbean.
We briefly review the situation.
Lula re-elected president of the South American country last year, is doing much to try to restore dignity to his people, the marginalized, the poor, after decades of suffering and injustice. If you already during the previous legislature had failed to improve the condition of 40 million people through a specific social policy, now is trying to improve, among other things, living conditions, health and prevention of its citizens.
The Brazilian Government, in fact, is about to enact a law providing for the decriminalization of abortion, make free distribution of condoms and birth control pills, all supported by a strong media campaign targeted sex education. Obviously convinced predictable opposition from local representatives of the Catholic Church, in particular the Bishop of St. Paul.
Interviewed by
Journal do Brasil, Lula said: " I do not think that the visit of Pope Benedict XVI will do well in the political life of Brazil. I think it is a precise will, once here, externalize the audience his views on the family by eating in our public life. In late May, the Parliament will face the final iteration of the draft law aimed at regulating the rights of unmarried families, and intervention of the Pope would be rather out of place .
Coelho Pedro Ernesto Salgado Esteban of Egreja do Primeiro dia , a leading exponent of the Brazilian Evangelical Church, thunders: "The Catholic Church is a danger to the rights of the weak .
But there's more. Representatives of the spiritual religions (the macumba, for example) of African origin, are very common in Latin America, have threatened the President of Brazil, making him reach clear warnings of threats if the Pope had set foot in Brazil.
Finally, the vibrant civil society protests have come from the mouth of Pamela Brinquadera Neta, 's Associcao livre primeiro , which deals with the rights of migrants South America: " Italy is a country dominated by a culture of condemnation and marginalization of diversity, and we do not want this situation may come to be formed in our country .
But even in Europe there are those who gave the surprising decision manforte overseas. Zapatero, prime minister of Spain's Socialist government that is doing so much for the rights of civil society - I remember you could see where this post note the decision by the government to assume 100% of the economic costs for the exchange of sex - he said, as part of the ongoing controversy about the book Sanctorum (that of porno-religious image, which I wrote here ): "The political and civil life of a nation against its citizens and administrators of vis publica. The Church Catholics believe to administer the souls of the faithful and just .
speech that does not bat an eyelid, I think, as I see more than one, for example, in the latest brilliant utterances by the CEI that I say to the common pedophile and incestuous. But this is just another story and a high country.
