“Do not vote for those who support gender ideas” – Corriere.it
The letter sent by the head of the diocese sounds like an endorsement to the candidate of the Brothers of Italy and Lega. In the past, he said, “Ddl Zan? Gags and prison like the Gestapo ». The discontent of the Democratic Party
The duty of priests, on the occasion of electoral rounds in the cities, is to make themselves aware “and to the faithful to identify which sensitivity and attention is reserved for the family desired by God and not altered by the ideology of the gender, to the theme of abortion and of euthanasia “. It is a passage from the letter sent to the confreres of the diocese by the bishop of Verona, Monsignor Giuseppe Zenti, dated June 18, in the middle of the electoral campaign in view of next Sunday’s ballot, when the new mayor will be elected. The task of the ordained, explains Zenti, “is not to take sides with parties or people, but signals the presence or lack of civil values with Christian roots”.
The letter from the bishop, 75 years old and close to dismissal from his post, has triggered strong malaise, especially among the exponents of the Democratic Party. Sunday, after that
former footballer Damiano Tommasi (supported by dem, M5S and civic lists) took the lead in the first round
, will be held head to head with the outgoing mayor Federico Sboarina, candidate of the League and Brothers of Italy. Hush, in his letter, he does not specify names and surnames, but the strong reference to the antigender battle sounds like
a clear approval for Sboarina
exponent of Giorgia Meloni’s party, who often refers to this theme in her speeches.
The bishop of Verona, not exactly in line with the doctrine of Pope Francis, also indicates other values on whose presence the faithful should be careful when considering the programs of the candidates: “the theme of unemployment, attention to poverty, disabilities, to welcoming foreigners, to young people, to the Catholic school, starting with nursery schools “. Zenti is no stranger to releases that have caused discussion. In 2015, in another letter, but sent to teachers of religion, he shared the electoral program of a candidate of the League in the regional elections. While recently he had used very harsh tones against the Zan Bill. The premise: “Practiced homosexuality is not a value in the eyes of God.” And then the lunge: «We hope that we can continue to say, that it does not remain in the Ddl of gags or possible prisons. They would be remnants of the Gestapo ».
