” “The explanations given by Cozzoli for this "secularist standardisation" include "a belief in the public irrelevance of faith and the profession of faith, reducing faith to a private belief. So that the devotees, the priests and bishops must not step out of the sphere of cult or between-church catechesis", and "the inability to grasp the moral relevance of the issues deployed; levelling out such issues to indifferent figures, that do not bind anyone to anything, offered to the free choice of the individuals". The theologian also speaks of an "emotion-driven drift of the good and right, which deprives them of objective contents of truth and value, and turns them into desires and subjective preferences", and the "unwillingness to get to the heart of the matter, in its logic and value-based structure, to dismiss it at the prevailing ideological and political level". "The Church recalls Cozzoli is aware of two things: that it is a master of truth, not only of faith but also of morality, and the operational and public relevance of the faith it professes, so that it cannot turn it into an abstract, private belief. Hence its sensitivity and care for ethically-relevant subjects. Sensitivity and care, not only in terms of conscience but also in terms of legal codification. Because it is not insignificant that a Parliament lays down the law in accordance with or against the moral goods that are at stake". (to be continued)” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” “
