A black page to the secular nature of the Italian State that takes us back centuries, a blow to religious freedom that is made especially formal equality between the faiths and philosophical ideas, which is a blow to liberalism the limit theory of rights because all rights are granted to . If an atheist, a Muslim or a Buddhist can not impose on others in public places, coercively, not only their beliefs but also its outward symbols, because only the Catholic should be allowed this arrogance ?
What happened? In practice, the CSM, the organ of self-protection of the courts and ordered the maximum sentence the judge Luigi Tosti, the radiation from the judiciary, established in practice that the Catholic religion is the only religion that can expose its own symbol, even coercively, in public places, as are the courtrooms at the hearing.
forced The exposition of the crucifix in public places, a recent Italian and only Italian costume, is a privilege for any unacceptable liberal right, center or left it. Because it touches the very basis of liberalism: freedom of religion, freedom of ideas, freedom of propaganda of ideas. All the more, then, if the context of this absurd monopoly is accompanied by sanctions, and serious as this.
But it must be difficult even for a true Catholic, who knows that he believes in God does not need to impose itself through violence, or to display symbols, crosses, images, and robes that he more or less abusive connect. And, indeed, if it existed, if the laugh of the "paganism" of his followers, who like the savages of Patagonia worship fetish material made of wood, paper, marble and bronze, rather than feel the religion in his own consciousness. A former vice: the Church of Rome on charges of idolatry and fetishism was one of the causes of the separation of the Protestants. In fact, the Bible says: "You shall not make an idol or any likeness of what is in heaven above ... Do not bow down to them or worship them" (Exodus 20.1 to 17). As the court
Tosti, for four years without functions and without pay, must be one of those picky and stubborn moralists "provocateurs" who are doing everything to find it themselves. Something must have broken if he decided to sacrifice himself to give scandal. They were the first Christians to argue that it is appropriate that the scandals happen?
Not at all accommodating, this little big man has taken his old defense, just principles. With consequential logic and of a naive Candide but knows all about law and read Plato speaks of Socrates. It seems one of those who made the heroic Protestant Reformation. These are the people who bring things to the extreme injustice makes it unbearable even obtuse man in the street and trigger changes.
Luigi Tosti had repeatedly refused to hold a hearing under the sign of the crucifix. And certainly not in hatred or contempt of this symbol, but because aware of the obvious infringement of equality between religions that exposure of that symbol represents. The crucifix in public places, that there was in Liberal, moreover, is outlawed in a literal sense. In fact, there is no by any law, but from an old ministerial regulation that speaks nothing of "furniture".
What to do? If you do not want the typical eliminre Catholic crucifix - Tosti argued with polished sense reminiscent of Voltaire - then it will parallel in a liberal with the symbols of other religions, such as the Jewish menorah, the Islamic crescent, the cross of Protestants, and so on to include Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism and even atheism.
Nah, must be a monopoly, a dominant position (with the abuse for decades, centuries), psychological violence, forced conviction and appeal to school children. A persuasion, subliminal really remember the dark ages of medieval fanaticism.
To understand what the rationale for liberal analogy must refer, instead, remember that the free market monopolies and dominant positions are the number one bugbear, the true enemy of liberalism (see Einaudi, Ernesto Rossi, etc.). And in fact, are pursued by the Guarantor and very severely by law. The competition, therefore, there must also be nell'ostensione symbols in public places: it is a fundamental principle of liberalism.
Liberalism itself was born and grew stronger as their religious freedom. So the brave
Judge Tosti, who is the admiration and solidarity of Salon Voltaire, did well to peg away on a question of principle of this magnitude. And we wonder why the judges of the CSM have naively fallen into the trap constitutional. Judge Tosti now before the Court of Cassation, and then the Constitution, where he has a good chance of winning. But if this were not enough there is always the Court European Human Rights has already ruled that the Italian state to a similar question.
Sorry, though, that once again, the so-called "land law" sets a bad impression in international law, even took over the Nicaragua or Burkina Faso.
But as with all the evils produced by Islamic fundamentalism, now the Catholic religion he began to imitate him, returning to her, never forgotten, harmful, old days?

"The Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM) has removed Judge Tosti judicial order. Faced with the alternative postagli by the courageous judge to remove the crucifixes from the courtroom or to remove him, he chose to drive him out of the order of the magistrates. This terrible event that a sign of mourning for the secular state the day today is contemporary to the application of the Italian government at the time announced by the Minister Gelmini, the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights which gave reason to the parents of Padua had objected to the presence of the crucifix in the classroom.
I have no doubt that the judge will continue his battle, and I hope a lot of great popular support, as defended our own freedom.
The country where this is the same place where Catholic doctors of public hospitals in the NHS may refuse to practice abortion because of conscience, without having to give up their jobs and their salary. The attempts to impose the crucifixes in public offices has always been so devoid of reason to be justified as part of the "furniture" of the premises, or as an expression of "culture" national. This second justification is officially supported by the Vatican which he realizes that there is no reason to force erga omnes the symbol of the Catholic religion.
Religion is essentially a private matter and can not be imposed on all. Public offices are open to people of all faiths and philosophical conviction. All may not be the presence of a symbol that belongs only to believers Christians.
In Italy, 1870-1929 [the crucifix] never existed in public offices, and Europe does not exist almost everywhere. The all-Italian claim to compel the presence reaching even to punish those who do not expose identity is consistent with the obsession of the right, with the desire to make the cross a symbol of the clash of civilizations, a tool to assert the primacy of the West on 'Islam and every other culture. The decision of the CSM
contribute objectively to give manforte attacks against the secular state and the rights of the people who came forward and led to moments of great tension in the issue of living wills, rights of gay couples to their legal recognition, the right to procreation healthy and free from religious obscurantism.
The front of the weakened and secularism is in the throes of chaos. The Radical Party has been the most consistent supporters of Tosti probably will not intervene with due force since Mrs Bonino, candidate for the governorship of Lazio, will have to woo Catholic voters, and the PD is no longer able to connect and to stand behind a rational course of action, being in the grip of different and conflicting impulses. The Cross becomes fully operation of an operation time of the assertion of a right and its "culture" obscurantist and adversely affecting human rights.
no small wonder the behavior of the CSM, with drawn sword defending the independence of the judiciary by the Government and the Parliament itself away from its ranks and its courageous leader that would also independent from clerical domination. Refusing to remove crucifixes from the courtroom makes a prevarication on the sense of justice and the independence of the Judicial Service of the State.
