Fontana on the children of gay couples: "Maternità surrogata è vietata, stop accolades"“WE, PROUD OF A MINISTER FRIEND, WHO DOES NOT SEEK THE APPLAUSE OF THE WORLD, BUT HE WANTS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMON GOOD, ACCORDING TO CATHOLIC DOCTRINE” (Matthew Castagna, National Manager of the Christus Rex Club).
The Minister of Family Affairs also announced news on foster care. Salvini: “We will defend the child's right to have a mother and a father”. Vendola: “No one will be able to erase our children”. And Hanger: “We will continue to record them”
ROMA – Stop the recognition of children of same-sex couples born abroad thanks to practices prohibited in Italy such as surrogacy. The Minister of Family Affairs underlined this Lorenzo Fontana, heard by the Social Affairs Commission of the Chamber on the programmatic lines of its ministry: “I note that the current structure of family law cannot fail to take into account what has been happening in recent months regarding the recognition of parenthood, for the purposes of registering the civil status of children conceived abroad by same-sex couples using practices prohibited by our law and which should remain so”, said the minister, that already on the day of the swearing-in of the Conte government he had dismissed the issue of the children of same-sex couples by stating that in his opinion rainbow families “they don't exist”.

Guareschi, del '68 se ne fece un baffo
by

Of Marcello Veneziani

Like today (yesterday for those reading, n.d.r.), fifty years ago, in the fateful '68, he went to the other world Giovannino Guareschi. He left the small world that few had described, to reach the big world, the one where that Lord lived who in his House gave advice to one of his fiery dependents on earth, Don Camillo. At least that's what Guareschi says.

He left early, Giovannino, a 60 years, after a troubled life, between concentration camp, prison under fascism and anti-fascism, plus a host of books translated all over the world, of very popular films that represented that fabulous post-war Italy, and adventures in the press, like his impertinent Candide who played a decisive role in the defeat of the social-communist popular front in the 1948 elections.
Giovannino died on 22 July '68 but he had time to write his last Don Camillo dedicated to today's young people. The book was released posthumously and marked the striking contrast between the old communist Peppone (that the anti-communist Guareschi had made sympathetic with his irrepressible humanity), the tough Don Camillo and a young, beardless protester, who was traveling on a motorbike with studded and fringed bags and a black jacket with a skull and the words "Veleno". Which becomes the boy's nickname for Guareschi and also the metaphor of the protest. "The Chinese" also arrive in the town of Brescello and upset the ideological geometries of the Italian-Stalinist Peppone and also displace the religious ones of the parish priest. Guareschi links the protest to the advent of the consumer societyi. For him the antagonism between the two phenomena is only occasional, related, not substantial. Consumerism devours the small ancient world and the old faiths, but he catches Peppone who leaves his bike and rides in a red spider. Consumerism is the habitat of 1968. Read More
