On Salvini's Security decree, the prelates ask “conscientious objection”. And they support the governors' appeal to the Consulta
After the appeals to open the ports, now the Italian bishops are siding with Orlando&Co. against the application of the Security Decree. Monsignor Perego takes the floor, bishop of Ferrara and former general director of the Migrantes Foundation of the CEI.
“There are two levels, both important – observe the monsignor all’Adnkronos -. In the Constitution we have the art. 10 which protects the right to asylum and at this time, faced with a security decree that does not protect the right to asylum and further puts local realities in difficulty, it is right to appeal to the judges of the Consulta by mayors and also by associations”.
In recent days too Bagnasco had arrived to ask and “judgment of conscience on the Security Decree”. Ora Perego goes back to the attack: “Faced with serious hardships – dice – the appeal is right because in conscience one cannot accept what goes against the law”. It is therefore right “make a conscientious objection to a decree that does not protect people's lives”.

From a legal point of view, Then, Perego has a clear vision. And he sides with rebel mayors and governors that they decided to appeal to the Constitutional Court. “That's right – says Perego – that a law which is deemed to jeopardize a fundamental constitutional right be placed in the hands of the Constitutional Court for a legitimate adjudication”.
Then the bishop of Ferrara addresses Matteo directly Salvini. And criticizes him for saying that the Catholics are with him and not with those who appeal for openness to migrants. “The Church is made up of the baptized – replies Perego – but the pastors lead the Church, not i politicians. I don't know who Salvini is thinking of, that then politics becomes divided on concrete choices and people can divide, this is part of history but we cannot be divided in the face of the evangelical message 'I was a stranger and you welcomed me'”.
There are many bishops who these days, directly or indirectly, they took sides against port closure policies desired by the Minister of the Interior. the bishop of Noto, Monsignor Antonio Staglianò, delegate of the Sicilian Episcopal Conference for migration, he invoked “prompt humanitarian solution” for refugees welcomed by the Sea Watch and Sea Eye ships. And “heartfelt appeal” it also came from the Pope. While on the subject of the Security Decree for the bishop of Piazza Amerina, Rosario Gisana, “the situation is dramatic and contradictory, because naturally it contradicts our nature: but we are under the aegis of a law that in my opinion needs to be revised”. Even the Sicilian Episcopal Conference, in a document of 21 December, he harshly criticized the national government, stating that “an animal at this moment comes to be worth more, in protection, of a brother in whom the believer knows that there is the very visit of God”.
