The ostentatious exaltation that certain press (on the occasion of his death – anno 1954, ndR) he made the figure of the Hon. De Gasperi as a supposed Catholic statesman, obliges us to re-establish the truth, with precise and documented complaints. With this we do not intend to investigate whether and to what extent De Gasperi was in good faith, in his mask – for he was such and no other – of a Christian politician: we never use to affirm the good or bad faith of anyone. We can only, and we do it willingly, recognize that a very large part of those who supported the political action of De Gasperi and his Party were presumably in good faith. We have always criticized, in this newspaper and other publications, some of which are of a certain size, the work of the late head of the Christian Democracy. So we limit ourselves, to document the reality to our now numerous readers, to summarize the main reasons for our past criticisms. We will do it with a certain chronological schematic nature, and with concise comments that serve to illuminate what only a political position based on Catholicism could and can be.
