Gianni Pardo - Repentance has its own greatness. The courage and honesty to recognize his mistakes are admirable. However, it remains the problem of evaluation of the perpetrator. Who does not repents and remains dangerous, as it were, beyond redemption. Scalzone example continues to live in his delusional world that would leave us indifferent, if not tended to destroy our and should be kept an eye on. The repentant instead fits into society. But it can be considered one of the others? You can pass a wet sponge on his past, that has or has not granted any penalty?
The answer is not clear. Catholicism, the sacrament of confession, says it is possible to erase the guilt and find themselves in God's grace is enough for the priest to say a few words: "Ego te absolvo, in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti." But even for believers remains the problem is equivalent to forgive to forget? A disregard of that action in court on the person? Certainly not. So the solution can not be general and the problem boils down to this: the error is excusable or inexcusable?
Young reared in the cult of the fascist rhetoric of the country could be right that we should beat back the invasion. While other young people think that they could continue fighting would only prolong the agony of the country which, moreover, was in the hands of another invader: the German one. Under these conditions, no one can ask the Republicans or the partisans of repentance. Conversely, when someone plans to kill in cold betrayal a general, a manager of an industry or a journalist, you can think of to act in good faith? Frankly, no. And you can not think of "forgive" even after thirty years in prison. No one can pay this kind of debt. No one can redeem a personality that can not see the absurdity of that criminal act. Allegations of such severity
leave a bitter taste. It almost have to wonder if you are omitting the human duty to take the role of the perpetrator. But the response that rises from within is clear: never, most of the people I met in my life and myself would be able to much. He is different from us.
Not that murder is inexcusable in any case. Tyrannicide is lawful under the Catholic Church itself, through the mouth of St. Thomas. Von Stauffenberg is a hero, not a murderess. And if you do not want to quibble too Brutus and Cassius were actually men of honor killed Caesar because, in their view, was the only way to save the republic. But if Rome had been a modern democracy, if it were enough to wait some years for a new election, they would have been a mere ambush. A life sentence for murder. Exactly like Aldo Moro.
Even those who have strayed from their past for decades are hard to forgive. No one today can be afraid of Adriano Sofri, Sergio Segio, Lanfranco Pace and many others, perhaps become skilled journalists honest bourgeois or otherwise, but if it is permissible to speak in person once, I confess to bias in this field indestructible. I wish I could forget their existence. I'll never, I say to forgive, but I like to consider a man who has killed an innocent man in cold, for reasons evanescent and delirious. Aldo Moro I was really nasty to me but died yesterday morning. My desire for revenge remains intact and unsatisfied. I certainly can live with the pain that the culprits are obvious but the gap that separates me from those who have been guilty of such crimes has not been closed. And never will be.
