comes out Nov. 25 in a brave book library.
The Lobby of God Ferruccio Pinotti, great investigative journalist and best pen more than once was measured with the systems of those secret chambers of the heart of the business and lobbying power that the religious movements.
I believe that the movement does not talk enough, perhaps because you have to have to be able to speak smattering of religious maybe because when you deal with issues of this kind of fear is to do an injustice to many who, in good faith believe in the doctrine of the movement itself because many religious groups or their subsidiaries in the financial business in part or completely control several media.
In my opinion the church has never been questioned enough about the strength and danger of these subjects inside and, too often, saw them as a valuable aid in the preaching.
The case of Communion and Liberation (the one that will be described in the book that I recommend Pinotti no doubt) is of interest because it encompasses the whole new idea of \u200b\u200bspiritual religious imperialism which gradually introduced in the thought of the church not only in Italy.
In 1954, a priest of Desio, Luigi Giussani, a movement founded in the grammar school Berchet di Milano (Milan High School of the then high bourgeoisie), initially decided to call it GS (Student Youth), then the name became CL ( Communion and Liberation).
From these "humble" origins, the Movement, as its adherents call it, has branched into the world with a speed worthy of a multinational. Today
CL is a gigantic web of politics and business that controls publishing houses, newspapers, social cooperatives operating in hospitals, is the master of almost all The fair in Milan (and indirectly governs everything that moves around the Expo 2015). On the political
12 years is the undisputed master of Lombardy, Roberto Formigoni is a consecrated layman of CL (a memores domains), a kind of monk with a mission to bring Jesus into society.
in Milan and Lombardy in many major hospitals are CL, and universities rumor that if you want to make a career fast and trouble-free ticket to the movement is good. This also applies to areas such as social firmly in the hands of regional leaders in all areas or heavily CL sympathizers.
In nearly all the men of north Italy CL sit on the boards of the most large companies, but also in city councils, provincial and regional authorities so that often interviewing political left and right we hear of a constituent in area CL "as if there was a party CL. In fact, there is a party
CL, which in Lombardy is currently the only countervailing power to the overflowing of the League institutions. Since the days of Forza Italy, Berlusconi has made a pact with Steel CL vouch for the electoral vote and thus was conservative Catholic, Lombardy Movement weighs an estimated more likely, 10% of the votes complexity of the PDL. From very knowledgeable individuals talk about a kind of subterranean struggle between the exponents CL and those of the Northern League for the division of power in the north, the scale for now, however, has always been in favor of CL.
Constantine the great liberalizing the cult of the Roman Empire and made Christianity legal in the belief that it was better to have soldiers fighting blinded by faith that an army blinded by fear, this could be the answer to the question: why CL continues to grow unabated since 1954, surviving the crisis of parties of reference (Andreotti's wing of the DC), economic crises and upheavals council (as all movement is also covertly preconciliar CL and sectarian)?
The answer is simple, faith of followers has meant that no one would put questions and you did drive blindly from the undisputed leader, who has known in its CL intrinsic mechanisms can say without question that all the mechanisms of the sect are reproduced on:
1) reverence for the Leader: Don Giussani in the Movement is called Don Gius was revered as a God before he died in the nineties turned into a joke religious environment that said "Who is the only saint in life? San Luigi Giussani. On arrival at the Meeting in Rimini (the annual meeting of the movement in which all the politicians go to make catwalk for the Movement genuflect ideally) would see to their real scenes of mass hysteria.
2) The founder of the works are read and reread by the followers and also the only filter through which it will read the Gospel and the Bible. The moment of the life of every niellino is the School of the Word, where every week is read and commented explained the word of Don Giussani
3) No one ever questioned the actions of the movement that is seen as the project of Jesus Don Giussani and the earth.
4) The movement has several degrees of initiation by the Memores Domine sympathizer who lives a life while maintaining their religious secularism.
5) The members of the movement although they can not do it, make a life separate from other Christians, have dedicated their parishes, special days in which recite their prayers in common, books of prayers other than those of other Christians (which made it impossible to mix between CL and other members of the parish), and in some countries of Lombardy entire neighborhoods consist of homes only CL that have created housing associations who build homes only to members of the movement.
6) The movement has a mission to accomplish and all the members need to complete together, even the dissent is a way to get away from the goal.
7) The movement is dominant in political and social choices of the member, all CL members (at least in public) support Mr Berlusconi, no exceptions and are not willing to challenging behavior is not just the premier Christian (who has interviewed many members CL writes about and the answer was always "I do not know if it's true but I know that Silvio has done much for the family and the rest does not matter," repeated always the same as a litany of memorized)
CL Anyone who closely knows that neither politics nor society have nothing to do but just a big mess and economic business as usual that sits in the shadow of the Sacred Palaces and the Church in prey in recent years a renewed frenzy of persecution should be retained as is.
