Thus Spake Zarathustra XVI
rained advances of the new Pope's book in the best style of Bruno Vespa. And all the papers fall for it, in one as in the case. What can I say? Blessed are the popes of the Church or the RAI, which are attracting the attention of their peers, while never saying anything new. Especially the first one, whose words are even presented as "revolutionary," even when they mark a transition to the High Middle Ages.
The first news was supposed his willingness to resign, when there was a need. Availability is already expressed by Pope Paul VI and John Paul II, but both looked good from her, when there was actually needed. The second, in particular, he stayed with my bottom stuck to the chair of Peter until the end, I kept repeating that he would leave only when the Lord had called. But then, when the Lord called him to really run to the clinic to delay the call: of course, with a swarm of television cameras in tow.
Not to mention the matter of condoms, on which Benedict XVI seems to have confused a lot of ideas. The media are excited because the Pope said that "there may be individual cases in which the use is justified." But just read the next sentence to get a good laugh: According to the Pope, an example of these cases would be "when a prostitute using a condom, and this may be a first step towards normalization."
Who he wondered how the prostitutes should use condoms, the press has stated that it was a translation error: the Pope had spoken of prostitutes to men. Bravo, well at least you know where they may contact. But the mystery remains close to what would be the "normalization", which would tend toward the prostitute wearing a condom. Perhaps one of the statues of the Vatican Museums, the pudenda packed in fig leaves? Or that of the macho who prefer not to have sex instead that have them securely?
tempted to say that it would be better for the Pope to talk about what he knows, except that it might shut him up forever. Why the poor even Benedict XVI seems unaware of the facts of your own home. For example, says that if he had known that there were lefevriani between the pro-Nazi, would not have withdrawn their excommunication. But was not he, for twenty-seven years, to drive the same as the FBI or the KGB Vatican? And who else should have been aware of it, but the German Grand Inquisitor?
The real mystery seems to be excess interest that the media have shown for this endless nonsense. No newspaper has instead interested, or if they did I would not be noticed, Benedict XVI all'istruttiva response to Ahmadinejad's letter, which we discussed a few posts ago. The answer goes back to November 3, confirming the suspicion that the two if they intended, in essence.
He says the Pope in Rome, echoing the Iranian president: 'And' my deep conviction that respect for the transcendent dimension of the human person is a condition essential for building a just social order and a stable peace. When the promotion of human dignity is the primary inspiration of political and social is given to seeking the common good, create a solid foundation and to build lasting peace and harmony among peoples. "
This shows not only that the Pope does not understand anything of condoms and contraceptives, but neither of politics and history. In particular, the role that religions he and Ahmadinejad had in fueling the construction of social orders and unjust wars continued and sustained, from the Middle East.
The obvious reality is that the disappearance of the fundamentalism of which Benedict XVI and Ahmadinejad are the representatives is a necessary condition for the establishment of justice and achieving stability. It is certainly not sufficient, but as long as there are people like them and their followers, we will not go very far on the road that could lead to justice and peace.
