Saturday, May 17, 2008 in Savona, in the pouring rain, to welcome Pope Benedict XVI, there was a "festive and excited," the delegation of the Circles of Freedom of the Province of Imperia, led by Fort De Luca (Circle "Trinidad and child "). In Piazza del Popolo, the city's largest, along with thousands of other people, the clubs have participated in the Mass and heard the words of the Holy Father.
homily, the Pope called on Catholics to "the courage to face the challenges of the world," "materialism, relativism and secularism," without "yielding to compromise" and willing to pay in person, and encouraged to "rediscover the roots cristiane della domenica", a coltivare la "preghiera domestica".
Ha ricordato l'impegno dei sacerdoti savonesi, nonostante si tratti di un clero anziano ed ha dedicato un pensiero ai detenuti e ai malati.
Il Papa ha infine fatto un invito alla carità e all'impegno contro le "emergenze morali e materiali che ci preoccupano" e ai giovani un appello a fare "scelte coraggiose e controcorrente".
I Circoli della Libertà sottolineano che, come chiesto da Papa Benedetto XVI, continueranno a difendere le radici cristiane dell’Europa, vero baluardo della nostra identità culturale.
Un argomento di riflessione importante quindi non solo per i credenti, ma anche per quelle persone che pur dichiarandosi non credenti, want to defend the cultural values \u200b\u200band Christian West, following the example of the late writer Oriana Fallaci, who loved to support "I am an atheist Christian. [..] And they are because the speech is the basis of Christianity I like. convinces me. seduce me so that I find no conflict with my atheism and my secularism. I mean the speech made by Jesus of Nazareth, which focuses on the man jumping over metaphysics. while recognizing the agency that is claiming Human consciousness makes us accountable for our actions, masters of our destiny. I see a hymn to reason, common sense, in that speech. And because there is no choice when there is reason, where there choice is freedom, I see a hymn to freedom. "
