Perch&egrave; sono la maggioranza, perch&egrave; hanno rinunciato a pensare, perch&egrave; l&#8217;indifferenza &egrave; la negazione dell&#8217;essere umano.<\/p>\n<p>Sappiamo tutti che la <strong>Chiesa Cattolica<\/strong> per secoli &egrave; rimasta intoccabile e inattaccabile di fronte agli scandali di abusi sessuali sui bambini, almeno fino ad ora.<\/p>\n<p>Non &egrave; mia intenzione qui, ora, parlare male di <strong>Papa Francesco<\/strong> o della Chiesa, ma alcuni fatti sono incontrovertibili e non possono essere ignorati.<\/p>\n<p>Nel 2014, il cardinale <strong>Josef Wesokowski<\/strong> &egrave; stato rimosso dal suo incarico a <strong>Santo Domingo<\/strong>&nbsp;a causa di abusi sessuali perpetrati su bambini e inviato in <strong>Polonia<\/strong> dove, alcuni anni dopo, &egrave; stato accusato dello stesso crimine.<\/p>\n<p>Invece di essere estradato a Santo Domingo per affrontare un regolare processo, l&#8217;arcivescovo &egrave; stato trattato con guanti di velluto da <strong>Papa Francesco<\/strong> ed &egrave; stato fatto rientrare scandalosamente a <strong>Roma<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Non mi interessa se ha rivestito la carica di &#8220;<em>importante ambasciatore della Chiesa nel mondo<\/em>&#8220;, lui, assieme a molti altri preti cattolici, &egrave; stato messo &#8220;in sicurezza&#8221; nonostante abbia abusato fisicamente e mentalmente di giovani creature, rovinandone l&#8217;esistenza.<\/p>\n<p>Il film &#8220;<strong><em>Spotlight<\/em><\/strong>&#8221; racconta la storia di un gruppo di giornalisti del <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The&nbsp;Boston Globe<\/span> che nel 2001, partendo da una serie di casi di pedofilia, rivel&ograve; il sistema di incastri e di coperture fra Chiesa Cattolica, preti pedofili e autorit&agrave; locali. &nbsp;&Egrave; un giornalismo di altri tempi, un giornalismo che non c&#8217;&egrave; pi&ugrave; e che certamente non appartiene purtroppo all&#8217;Italia, stante il livello di zerbinaggio della stampa attuale nei confronti dei potenti.<\/p>\n<p>Il film &egrave; un po&#8217; lento, ma va dritto dritto verso gli Oscar. Badate alle mie parole.<\/p>\n<p>La domanda che dobbiamo porci &egrave;: se a Boston il 6 per cento dei preti era pedofilo, qual &egrave; il numero nel mondo? E perch&egrave; di fronte a numeri cos&igrave; impressionanti, pur sapendo, si &egrave; continuato a girare lo sguardo altrove?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tom McCarthy<\/strong>, regista di &#8220;<em>Spotlight<\/em>&#8220;, afferma: &#8220;<em>I reporters parlano sempre di voler indagare nel torbido. Quello del film era un gruppo di giornalisti fatto di grandi professionisti che ha ottenuto grandi risultati e, ci&ograve; nonostante, alcune verit&agrave; si sono perse egualmente<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>L&#8217;errore umano pu&ograve; anche starci, ma Spotlight punta il dito contro qualcosa di ancor pi&ugrave; misero e degradante per l&#8217;animo umano: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">indifferenza e l&#8217;inerzia<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Papa Francesco<\/strong> ha promesso di usare la mano forte con i preti che hanno abusato sessualmente di bambini, a prescindere dalla carica che rivestono. Ha costituito in Vaticano una <strong>Commissione Pontificia<\/strong> <strong>per la protezione dei minori<\/strong> che sviluppi programmi di aiuto per i vescovi chiamati a dirimere casi di abuso.<\/p>\n<p>Sono per natura diffidente. &Egrave; ora che alle parole seguano i fatti.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>HP&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; English Version &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As I am writing this, I am positive that a few of you will agree, others will say I am a lunatic and sinner, and, others will, well, be in silence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To be perfectly honest, it is the silent ones that perturb, confuse and worry me. Because it is the majority that has stopped thinking, because this indifference is the denial of human beings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We all know that the <strong>Catholic<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Church<\/strong>&nbsp;has been sacred and untouchable regarding certain scandals, stories and coverups, at least until NOW.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am not here to write negative thoughts concerning <strong>Pope Francis<\/strong> and the Catholic Church but some facts are incontrovertible and we cannot ignore them.<\/p>\n<p>Scandals have been happening for centuries, each and every day, in people&#8217;s homes all over the world, so, don&#8217;t get me wrong.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, after rumours emerged that <strong>Josef Wesokowski<\/strong> had sexually molested young boys, he was quietly removed from <strong>Santo Domingo<\/strong>,&nbsp;and was sent back to <strong>Poland<\/strong>, where he is also wanted for child abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of being extradited to Santo Domingo, this Archbishop, has been treated with kid gloves by Pope Francis, when he was scandalously brought him back to <strong>Rome.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t care if he is a highly respected Ambassador to the Catholic&nbsp;Church. He, along with many other priests, are quietly being moved left and right, and, are mentally and physically destroying young children.<\/p>\n<p>A new movie, &#8220;<em>Spotlight<\/em>&#8221; is slowly but surely, going to cause a stir. <strong>Oscar<\/strong>, are you reading me?!<\/p>\n<p>There are those who refuse to see it. Those who have and pretend they haven&#8217;t. And those who laugh it off. Well the latter are in for a treat, since it IS &#8220;<em>bulletproof<\/em>&#8220;.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is also solid journalism.<\/p>\n<p>Why aren&#8217;t there more journalists similar to these?! I know that there are a few out there. It&#8217;s hard to believe that there are in Italy, where the mainstream information is totally unreliable.<\/p>\n<p>I read at times, certain &#8220;ballsy&#8221; writers, who don&#8217;t give a damn what anyone thinks. But there are only a few, worldwide. These are people I truly look up to, especially when writing about uneasy and disturbing subjects.<\/p>\n<p>The investigative team at <strong>The Boston Globe<\/strong> newspaper, uncovered a wide-spread &#8220;<em>coverup<\/em>&#8221; within the <strong>Vatican<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Predatory priests were simply removed from one diocese, sent to a treatment centre and quietly reintegrated into another parish &#8220;<em>where the abuse would continue<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>If only in Boston, 6% of priests are paedophiles, I can&#8217;t even imagine what the number is worldwide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is heartbreaking because &#8220;<em>they found out about it and allowed it to happen elsewhere<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t help but notice that during the &#8220;<em>Spotlight<\/em>&#8221; team&#8217;s determination, mistakes were made and details were overlooked. As <strong>Tom McCarthy<\/strong>, the director of the movie says, &#8220;<em>Reporters are always talking about walking around in the dark, looking for that one certain thing. They were a high level group of professional journalists with amazing results, but they missed certain things along the way<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>Human error is one thing but &#8220;<em>Spotlight<\/em>&#8221; focuses on a much darker area. What took so long? Why do people know, but don&#8217;t act?<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t just about the Catholic Church and the subject matter, but about us. What happened in <strong>Boston<\/strong> happened all over the world. Why do people turn a blind eye?<\/p>\n<p>Pope Francis formed the <strong>Vatican&#8217;s Pontefical Commission<\/strong> for the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Protection of Minors<\/span>, developing programmes to help bishops deal with sexual abuse cases.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly the problem has not gone away. Three <strong>American<\/strong> bishops were removed from their posts in 2015.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sceptical. From now on, no more announcements, but facts from the Catholic Church.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This has been going on for a long time and will take a long time to clean up. Thanks to &#8220;<em>Spotlight<\/em>&#8221; that strenuous road has been impressively illuminated&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>HPA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Nel momento in cui scrivo sono consapevole che alcuni (pochi) di voi [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2528,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_angie_page":false,"page_builder":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heatherparisi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
