BUT I defend the Cross
Marco Travaglio

up to me, the crucifix would appeso nelle scuole. E non per le penose ragioni accampate da politici e tromboni di destra, centro, sinistra e persino dal Vaticano. Anzi, se fosse per quelle, lo leverei anch’io. Fa ridere Feltri quando, con ignoranza sesquipedale, accusa i giudici di Strasburgo di “combattere il crocifisso anziché occuparsi di lotta alla droga e all’immigrazione selvaggia”: non sa che la Corte può occuparsi soltanto dei ricorsi degli Stati e dei cittadini per le presunte violazioni della Convenzione sui diritti dell’uomo. Fa tristezza Bersani che parla di “simbolo inoffensivo”, come dire: è una statuetta che non fa male a nessuno, lasciatela lì appesa, guardate altrove. Fa ribrezzo Berlusconi, il massone puttaniere che ieri pontificava di “radici cattoliche”. Fanno schifo i leghisti che a giorni alterni impugnano la spada delle Crociate e poi si dedicano ai riti pagani del Dio Po e ai matrimoni celtici con inni a Odino. Fa pena la cosiddetta ministra Gelmini che difende “il simbolo della nostra tradizione” contro i “genitori ideologizzati” e la “Corte europea ideologizzata” tirando in ballo “la Costituzione che riconosce valore particolare alla religione cattolica”. La racconti giusta: la Costituzione non dice un bel nulla sul crocifisso, che non è previsto da alcuna legge, ma solo dal regolamento ministeriale sugli “arredi scolastici”. Alla stregua di cattedre, banchi, lavagne, chalk, erasers and brooms. If we are to defend the crucifix as "furniture" might as well remove it immediately. Jesus on the cross is not even a symbol of a "tradition" (as Santa Klaus or the Halloween pumpkin), or the supposed "Jewish-Christian civilization" (sly trinket of Pera, of Ferrara and other ateoclericali then do not say a word about racial laws against Roma children and the rejected refugees on the high seas). Jesus Christ is a historical fact and a real person, dead killed after unspeakable torture, while being able to easily save a few words with unambiguous, easy-going, newspeak, Paraculo. It is, for two thousand years, a "scandal" is for those who believe in resurrection, and for those who stop at the historic fact of the crucifixion. The living image of liberty and humanity, of suffering and hope, of unarmed resistance to injustice, but most of secularism ("Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God") and free ("Father, forgive them for they know not what they do "). Free: the word most scandalous for these times dominated by the interests, where everything is for sale and too many are auctioned. Jesus Christ is recognized not only by Christians but by Jews and Muslims, as a great prophet. In fact it was more pagan ideology of history, Nazism - Antonio Socci has noted - to wage war on the crucifixes. It is significant that today no politician nor the Church be able to find the right words to tell about it. Yet just borrow the language of the family by Natalia Ginzburg, a Jewish and an atheist, in the eighties he wrote: "The crucifix does not generate any discrimination. Silent. It is the image of the Christian revolution, which has spread to the world the idea of \u200b\u200bequality between men so far away ... Why should they feel offended the Jewish schoolchildren? Was not Christ a jew persecuted and died in martyrdom as a million Jews in concentration camps? Nobody before him had ever said that all men are equal and brothers. It seems to me that a good children, boys, we know this from school. " It would be enough to tell so many ignorant parents, teachers, boys and no one - atheist, Christian, Muslim, jew, buddhist that is - would feel the least offended by the crucifix. But the exit of the European verdict, no man of the Church was able to do so. Perhaps the hierarchy is too busy doing commercials for 8 per thousand, to beat cash for private schools and tax exemptions, to fight Dan Brown and Halloween, and there is no time for that man on the cross. Indeed, the very words are missing. Today the worst enemies of the crucifix is \u200b\u200bjust the clerics. And the clergy..
