Black End Gold Towels

THE LIFE AND CULTURAL CONTEXT TODAY

"The bodily life, physics, 'Man is the fundamental value (the principle of non-availability), through which the human person is made and entered into time and space, shows the their freedom, the future plans, manifests entering social relations with others. Only the spiritual and the total person is placed above the fundamental value of physical life, and only because of the spiritual good of the person you can sacrifice the life of the body.


In recognition of the fundamental value of physical life comes the recognition of the fundamental right to physical life (the principle of inviolability), a right which can not be violated even to encourage the lives of others, because the human person is the end in itself, is of value and not a part of society. "

We had left with these exciting observations that the prof. Mirabile at the end of the second meeting. However, he warned us about how confused and distracted our society, which seems to dim the light of life, at the same time it has encouraged us to reflect on how important it is that in this society, there are people, especially young people ready to take Caring.

Giving us a clearer picture and outline, sometimes even discouraging, the cultural context of today, spoke in the third meeting of the seminar Dr. Savatteri Vincent, head of Ser.T. Marsala, criminologist and professor of Criminology at the University of Palermo and Messina, a renowned expert in isothermal phenomena.

It has become clear to all that, in a society characterized by individualism and the maddening failure to perceive the true values \u200b\u200bof life, has failed to fulfill everyone's responsibility to take care of the other, the life of another.

rises but some doubt as to the various interests that lead to whole generations have certain behaviors that are increasingly disintegrating the old models of human and social relationships.

Dr. Savatteri, from recent news reports, explained to the participants of the seminar in that way, through a subtle language, ambiguous, deliberate and thorough, spreading a culture of death.

is now regarded as established practice to disguise meanings serious and unacceptable words difficult to understand or even pleasant or attractive (termination of pregnancy rather than abortion / murder, sweet death or euthanasia rather than deprivation of liberty, etc ...). Among the scandals

Dr. Savatteri cited the death chamber in Switzerland called "dignitas" (
a structure in which the possibility of killing yourself freely without incurring any penalty), and the nickname 'Peppino' attributed to the father of Eluana to make it more nice and close, as an acquaintance or friend, who Instead he was always the first name was Joseph, of the known facts of the news.

The Rapporteur has also noted, with some examples, as is the growing use of terminology aggressive legal alarmist, of subjugation, and repeated with emphasis:

Address: address a theme (or topic), "facing the school year," to deal with that page, "deals with the torture scandal."

Blind: "... ... .... blind and the RAI Board of Directors, "" Jerusalem reinforced for Easter "," city / house reinforced, "" reinforced in a Madrid "," the Pope armored strict controls "," the minister who is blind. "


Bombing "bombardment of images", "bomb e-mail, text messages to bombard", "news bomb," bomb phone calls. "


Equipped: means fortified, armed and well defended. "Equipped with the ticket," a passport, "equipped pen and paper "," the cosmetic bag fitted with a mirror, "" own car "(armored car?).


Burst "all hell breaks out," the quarrel broke out, "" political storm broke out, "broke the case," "heat burst", "breaks out the love ".

In our society the siege minutes is the norm, the words are deliberately used to refute, cheat, deceive, to hide. The sound has a power of penetration in which the physical human being has no control. It is difficult to defend and win.

In fact, signs point to this victory are not lacking in our society and culture, so strongly marked by the "culture of death."

's meeting today, if proof were needed, has made us even more aware that "we are facing an enormous and dramatic clash between good and evil, death and life, the" culture of death "and the" culture of life. "

We are not only "faced with" but necessarily "in the midst of" this conflict: we are all involved and participate, with the inescapable responsibility of choosing to be unconditionally pro of life "(Evangelium Vitae, 28). [quoted a papal encyclical, not to support a religious authority, but because so far as it exposes is convincing, in rational terms, for every person that really puts the center of his attention to the service of humanity, I urge everyone to read it carefully]

"The first and fundamental step towards this cultural transformation consists in forming consciences with regard to the incomparable and inviolable worth of every human life" (EV 96)

It is 'goal of our seminar: to inform and educate men and women to be mobilized for a new culture of life and are able to preserve for themselves and spread around them authentic ideals of life and then grow in respect and service to every person in the family and society.

That is why we hope that members continue to participate and persevere even invite others to join.

In this mobilization for a new culture of life no one must feel excluded: everyone has a role to play "(EV, 98).
