” “"A feeble reading of the Christian testimony; belief in the public irrelevance of faith; the inability to grasp the moral relevance of the issues deployed; the emotion-driven drift of the good and right; the unwillingness to get to the heart of the matter". With these words, Mauro Cozzoli, theology professor at the Lateran University, explains in a note that will be online from tonight at old.agensir.it – what he calls "the secularist standardisation of the major press in Italy, incapable of a stroke of genius in reporting and interpreting the presence of Catholics and the Church in the ethical and social events of our time" and which would want the Church itself to be "voiceless" about artificial procreation, chemical abortion, live-in couples, euthanasia. Or it will be "accused of interfering". "That politicians do that they are biased men, who feel contradicted we can understand, but we cannot justify writes Cozzoli when it is done by journalists, columnists, editors and directors of magazines, and in such an aligned, repetitive way, it is truly abnormal". According to Cozzoli, it is "a feeble reading, in stale terms of left and right, of the Christian testimony, of the ministry of the Church and even of faith in God, as a paper that is the leader of press standardisation keeps doing".
