Editor: We found this in the German Paper, Katolisches.info and it's about an article translated from the Italian into German. Well, you guessed right, a Communist Daily in Italy is supporting Clerics. Better count your fingers before you shake that hand.
The former mouthpiece of the Communist Party of Italy has made a special contribution to the sexual scandal of Catholic priests, which has occupied the attention of the media. It happens in the actual sense as a wounding of the vow of chastity, if through Pedophiles, sexual intercourse or concubinage. The magazine founded by Antonio Gramsci daily 'L'Unita' reported in an article by Vincenzo Cerami (8/16/2010) a direct relationship between the sexual failings of Catholic Priests and the laying aside of clerical clothing. If priest wear civilian clothing, then what the author calls "trust" and a loss of "respect" for the Catholic believers. He indicated that the priest should throw his civilian clothes in the nettles and must return to the the duty of the robe. Here's a translation of a German translation from the Italian:
[Rome] For some time the Church has had to fight against a campaign, which has been directing the spotlight on the phenomenon of the erotic activities and obliquity of the Clergy. It doesn't merely devolve upon the horror of pedophilia, rather also in the red light district, orgies and forbidden transgressions of every kind.
AS soon as the robe was done away with and civilian clothing taken up, many priests turned with lightning speed from holy to profane. For this reason I asked my friend, who writes in this paper, Don Filippo Di Giacomo, if it wouldn't be advisable, for him and his close colleagues, if they would get rid of their civilian clothes and take up again the long dress of the priest.
It is to report, there is no need to be confused, quite the contrary, it would be a sign of respect for the Catholic society and would have the power to also avoid ambiguity. In his pullover or shirt it is difficult to recognize a priest: we withhold trust, at least at the semiological level.
Friend Di Giacomo must throw his "Layics" - clothing in the grill and start an appeal, till all priests in the whole world are forbidden, to own anything else except for two robes, one of wool for the winter and the other of cotton for the summer.
It will not do, for the die-hard Eros-befuddled to be horrified. It works as a line of defense against the thousand little daily occasions of failure. Generally one says, "The dress does not make the Monk", indeed for the Church, it is not so: the dress must make the Monk. The catholic Faith, like other religions, lives on symbols, rites, chastity, of fundamental and unchangeable values, from the fidelity to the Doctrine, to the strict obedience and the content of priestly regulations.
The robe arranges all that at the first glance: a lot of spirituality and little flesh. A priest, who exchanges the robe with the various common clothing, is, as if he relinquished his spirituality.
