Until the real problem at the core of The Present Crisis is acknowledged, it will not be dealt with properly.
I read at La Nuova Bussola, in Italian, a horrifying bit of news.
In the Italian town of Rivoli, near Turin, there is a movie theater owned by the religious order The Salesians. founded by St. John Bosco. They are to show at that movie theater a highly morally offensive movie, “Chiamami col tuo nome… Call Me By Your Name”. It is, basically, about pederasty and involves a “sex story between a 24-year-old and a 15-year-old, with a lot of masturbation and other obscenities”.
In a movie theater owned by the Salesians.
What would St. John Bosco say about this situation? The mind reels.
I wonder what Salesian Card. Rodriguez Maradiaga thinks about this movie.
CNS has a review of the movie, but the page would not open for me at the time of this writing. Bottom line: morally offensive. HERE
According to an Italian Catholic cinema organization, the film is “poetic”. HERE
Italian bishops, you ask? HA!

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
