E 'was shown last week in Palermo, the headquarters Councillor to local authorities, a draft law of popular initiative for the removal of the emblem of the flag of the Trinacria Sicilian Region. There are two main reasons that drove the signers of the initiative: the non-exclusivity of the symbol of Trinacria, still used to represent other countries and parties, including the Isle of Man, in the North Sea, the origins of the symbol, explicable mythology, "in contrast to - say subscribers - with the culture and essence of Christianity, who want to preserve absolutely."
"The initiative - says Sandro Oliveri, vice president of the Council City of Palermo (in proportion Mpa), acting as spokesman for the group of subscribers - wants to raise awareness of the Sicilians who believe deeply in Christian values \u200b\u200bto join in this first proposal. Of course, many other events will follow, to help restore and put at the center of social life the principles of Christianity in an age where secularization is having a marked moral decay, a decay of social, political and economic. "Because this appeal Christians must be credible and amend the law to allow the Ars among the places of exposure are also those of us worship the flag is the symbol of Trinacria mutilated ethics in the churches!
"In next week - concludes Oliveri - will start collecting signatures, which aims to achieve a minimum of 10 000 subscribers, as required by law. "Next Tuesday, the 16 is a central event in Independence Square, in front of the building 's Orleans, "during which - ends Oliveri - ask the President of the Region Raffaele Lombardo to be among the first supporters.
Reading these reports one can not but be startled at least . At a time when the substance creates problems of political survival, is thought to symbols. Oliveri intends to ask the Governor be the first signatory. As John rightly says Ciancimino on the pages of the newspaper La Sicilia today, "instead of Lombardo we would not think twice to a symbolic battle. So there is no substance."
analyzing the issue, it is easily found the source of the mythological Trinacria, but also expressed (and especially) the geography of Sicily: a Lillibeo Western Cape, South Capo Passero, the Northeast Cape Pelorus. The three vertices of the three promontories of the island, here is the mythological origin, would arise due to three nymphs who roamed the world taking handfuls of dirt, small stones and fruits from the most fertile areas.
Ciancimino ends with a stab to the President Lombardo: "... As a Catholic to support the cleansing of our flag, because the notice to the mythology can go into places of Christian worship and you have less trouble in politics."
writes Fernando M. Adonia "We are confident that this symbol is so far from Christianity? And above all, in our hearts we believe that a reference in the Sicilian flag to" cross "would help a land already be more Christian?". The central question is obviously rhetorical, but the good question, because, as the Christian spirit is far from a formality institutional, plus it is strong in the hearts of course.
Adonia again: "It is evident that the director Sandro Oliveri, in his enthusiasm, does not account for another short section of Roman Catholicism, what he stands for. Christians are in this world, but are not of this world. This has always permitted to exploit the intelligence-believer in 'meaning to bear fruit-the wisdom of the world, even the pagan, to reread key in Christ. For over fifteen centuries that we celebrate the birth of Jesus precristina holidays to coincide with the Solstice, the natalis solis invicti. What was to Gentiles the anniversary of the revenge of light over darkness, for the faithful, the winner of that battle was unmistakably Christ. Not much to add. Let's enjoy our flag, one of the oldest and most beautiful among those regions. Christianity in politics can not be color, or not only that: it must be uncompromising in his principles: in defense of legality, transparency, the last. That's where the hard fighting political .
