WORLD WORLDWIDE ITALY SICILIA News Journal Update - (en) Italy, Sicilia Libertaria: This way (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 What a summer guys. First the Good Lord sent us the floods in Romagna:

too much water after so much drought; immediately afterwards, however,
he preferred to return to drought and great heat. And as the glaciers
melt and we melt from the heat, here comes the destructive fall of hail
and the wind rages. Fires cannot be missing, more heat with intermittent
flood storms, landslides, tornadoes. In short, we didn't miss anything,
being careful not to use the old formula of the invasion of locusts
because the new culinary fashions regarding insects would have
immediately turned it into a business opportunity.
On these troubles of clear divine origin we recorded the pope's
invitation to prayer, which evidently proved ineffective, perhaps
because the Principal is in a state of confusion or is really pissed
off, especially with his several billion faithful (putting the various
religions together), now heading towards the dilapidation of the earth's
heritage.

On the other hand, the Catholic apparatus has an extenuating
circumstance: it has been involved in the administration of earthly
affairs, of which the vast Portuguese mobilization for the World Youth
Days is the most successful example: millions of young people praising
Pope Bergoglio, a spectacle of power, total media openness (in the more
clerical countries... However... so much externalization highlights the
complete compatibility of the consensus of the Catholic Church with the
disastrous status of the World, between climate catastrophes, wars,
poverty, inequalities.

Even in small Italy, a manifestation of Catholic power such as the
Rimini Meeting confirms the total adherence of political and
institutional power to the dictates of the Church. Every year
politicians queue to appear there, and Sergio Mattarella's closing puts
the state seal on the Communion and Liberation event, fulfilling the
dream of making Italy an appendage of the Vatican. However... things
continue to go badly, very badly indeed, for the lower classes, while
the rich ones experience moments of glory. A sign that the Church-State
union is working and these are the results.

We must expect beautiful words and ugly deeds; natural, economic, social
cataclysms increasingly out of control, because the Catholic (and
religious) culture of domination over nature, over women, over those who
are different, seasoned with the saving virtues of capitalism and all
fascisms, which the churches have not lacked never their blessings, has
built the coming Apocalypse.

Bad facts that are putting the stability of Catholicism to the test
almost everywhere (we, for our part, are trying really hard...); in
Germany they are very angry at the lack of steps towards sexual abuse of
minors, the persistence of a bigoted and repressive morality on
homosexuality and women, the armored power of the elite, and while they
are suffering from massive abandonments, like the 360,000 faithful who
left the Church in 2021 alone, increasingly insistent voices give a
schism as in preparation. Another element of contrast is the lack of
decision on the matter of excommunications of the mafia, on which an ad
hoc commission has had a document ready for the Pope for two years which
apparently has not yet even been delivered due to brakes in high places.

Mafia, pedophilia, corruption: everything goes as usual. Of course then
the Principal gets angry and sends cataclysms. And so here are timid
attempts to demonstrate themselves on the path to redemption,
announcements of commissions of inquiry (on pedophilia, on the case of
Emanuela Orlandi, which dates back to just 40 years ago...) and some
trials that they try to manage on their own, like that of the gang of
Cardinal Becciu in which, on 26 July the Vatican promoter of justice
Alessandro Diddi asked for 7 years and 3 months for the ringleader and a
total of 66 years for the other 9 co-defendants, for the singular
management of the funds of the Secretariat of State and for the deal of
the sale of the luxurious building in London. However... all this does
not serve to appease the wrath of the Good God. And so Bergoglio
relaunches institutional anticlericalism. I leave you with Pierino
Marzapani's comment on Pope Francis' latest anticlerical utterances.
