Bergoglio's Via Crucis for immigrants and against closed ports, ours for the Passion of Christ in remission of sins
The Via Crucis of “Papa” Francesco: for immigrants and against closed ports
Roma, 17 Apr – One Way of the Cross which must inspire the faithful to commit themselves to "not making those who are dying today in too many ordeals around the world feel lonely, including collection fields similar to lagers in transit countries, ships that are refused safe port, the llengthy bureaucratic negotiations for the final destination, the centers of permanence, the hot spots, camps for seasonal workers". This is what Sister Eugenia Bonetti wrote in her meditations at the Colosseum, presided over by Pope Francis and published by the Vatican publishing house. Clear the reference therefore to the so-called "closed ports" and the need to welcome immigrants. The usual rhetoric from Bergoglio In short, who instructed this nun to give voice to his policy increasingly oriented towards the opening of borders without any ifs or buts.
The promised land
The text, Of 61 pages, has a clear accusatory tone towards the Italian government: “Who remembers in this era of quick news those twenty-six young Nigerians swallowed by the waves, whose funeral was celebrated in Salerno? Their ordeal was hard and long. First the crossing of the Sahara desert, piled onto makeshift buses. Then the forced stop in the frightening collection centers in Libya. Finally the jump into the sea, where they found death at the gates of the 'promised land'". Ecco, this last sentence is particularly significant for understanding the message launched by the Pope. Who is it that urges Africans to reach the “promised land”? Who promises this land? The biblical reference is even more emblematic, if we consider that it serves to make those who emigrate believe that they are destined for another land, what a second the Church would even be theirs, because "promise".

Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto, 8 Jan – The evening of January 8th 1993 the mafia decided to silence him forever Beppe Alfano. The dynamics of this murder appeared unclear from the beginning. Let's see why. The Sicilian reporter was sitting in the driving seat of his Renault 9, pulled up to the right, in via Marconi (not far from his home) with the passenger side window down, the gearbox in neutral and the engine running. In short, he seemed to be waiting for someone. Around ten in the evening the killer killed him with a caliber gun 22: three shots in rapid succession and at a short distance. But who was Alfano? And what does the mafia have to do with it??
Roma, 10 gen – Roberto Burioni he succeeded in a miracle, which is no small thing, for a scientist like him: Beppe Grillo and Matteo Renzi reached an agreement. The two political leaders have in fact signed an alleged "pact to defend science" launched by the famous "blaster" doctor. Grillo's membership causes a sensation, as his movement has always openly flirted with any narrative other than the mainstream, often mixing serious topics and conspiracy paranoia. In addition to the political data (how will the Grillina base take this endorsement?), it is however interesting to develop a reasoning on the language of such “pact for science”, because in its few points it seems to replicate exactly those epistemological naiveties that have always made the discussion problematic, apparently common sense, carried out by Burioni (net of his personal, ostentatious and counterproductive antipathy).
