MARCO ANSALDO
VATICAN CITY - Maybe it was inevitable. Certainly not expect everyone, even the Vatican. But the scandal of pedophile priests come sooner or later also appeared in Italy more than a hypothesis. It was a latent concern. Now, a certainty, since the first reports have already started. After the case broke in the United States in 2002, those in Brazil in 2005, the sentences in Australia in 2008, the Murphy report on abuses in Ireland in 2009, and the more recent investigations initiated in 2010 in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands, the Holy See will have to prepare for a new front.
It has not been a case where only a few days ago, the diocese of Bolzano and Bressanone, struck by the echo of the confusion caused in the nearby German-speaking area, indicated on its website an e-mail address to which the victims can make recommendations. Preventive action, initiated by Bishop Karl Golser, the sign of total transparency recommended by Pope Ratzinger. Even the other day a South Tyrolean came forward, telling the newspaper Tageszeitung abuse suffered by a boy in the sixties, five brothers during a summer stay in a convent Bolzano. Violence occurred "in the vineyards and cellar room." Soon after it was the turn of a former student of a college of Neustift, near Brixen, who has denounced lashes.
in Florence and then resurfaced yesterday the story of Fr Lelio Cantini, the priest guilty of sexual abuse against minors carried out between 1973 and 87, as pastor of the Church "Queen of Peace." After lengthy procedural events, Cantini was reduced in 2008 by Benedict XVI to the lay state. Now his victims to the ecclesiastical authorities blame the "lack of awareness of their responsibilities." Expect Francis said, on behalf of all: "Too easy to offer the head of the pedophile in office without addressing the real problem: why, when we asked to be heard, the Church has first notice the silence, charged furiously, and threatened and asked to forget? ".
More stories emerge, which are described in detail in the book" hidden sin " (publisher Nutrition, edited by Luigi Irdi) out Wednesday. The author, who signed off as Anonymous - an acronym that includes the contribution of many hands, including that of a priest who preferred not to appear in person - collect the many complaints Prosecutors in several recently arrived in Italy. There is the story of a group of children from a village near Hundred, Diocese of Ferrara, abused by Father Andrea Agostini, who was sentenced in 2008 to 6 years and 10 months imprisonment, e al risarcimento di 28mila euro. Il loro avvocato, Claudia Colombo, aveva anche scritto al cardinale di Bologna, Carlo Caffarra, chiedendo una presa di responsabilità della curia locale. Nel dispositivo della sentenza i giudici di primo grado hanno denunciato "il silenzio dei vertici ecclesiastici e la loro ritrosia a mettere sul tappeto le notizie sulle accuse che già da tempo circolavano".
Un altro caso descritto è quello di una parrocchia alla periferia nord di Roma, dove don Ruggero Conti, parroco della Natività di Maria Santissima, è stato processato nel febbraio 2008 al palazzo di giustizia di Roma per abusi sessuali nei confronti di sette ragazzi che hanno testimoniato le violenze al pubblico ministero Francesco Scavo.
But, among many, perhaps the most terrible is that of Alice, a girl of 8 years of Bolzano, for a long period raped, shot, abused missal in hand with the education to which parents had entrusted to teach the catechism. The accused, Don Giorgio Carli, addressing all levels of courts on charges dating back to the Eighties - and always doomed - March 19, 2009 is "discharged" from the third session of the Supreme Court declaring those criminal offenses prescribed by Law former Cirielli. The ruling, while confirming the authenticity of the facts, can only contemplate the order to pay. Which never arrived.
The Vatican, who knows many of the cases, appears worried. Not only a question of image. But also because the opening of the Italian front would be the start of proceedings for damages referred hardly the only diocese could bear. The Curia is concerned that risk. In some cases, even the priests to report stories now buried, with documents and files. They ask themselves transparency, because the truth after so many years, finally resurface.

The Holy See: no limitation on the pedophile priests
Editorial
The Holy See responds to accusations of abuse cases in Germany and works to change the code of law In the past, Ratzinger soured canonical punishments for sex offenders. Father Lombardi: "Failed attempts to involve the Pope." Cracks in the choir until 1992 when he was the brother of the present Pontiff. The scandal behind the failure of bishops to govern
The line taken by Ratzinger in the face of cases of child abuse committed by priests and religious was "always that of the rigor." He said yesterday the Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi, while the 'public ministry of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has revealed that the Holy See could remove the terms of the requirement relating to child abuse, that doing so would still be prosecuted by the Church even if prescribed by the laws of the states.
The day after the allegations that have tried to involve Benedict XVI in the scandal brought to light the story of the pedophile priest moved from Essen to Munich to Monaco, the Vatican reply explaining how these cases are now dealt with according to the highest standards from its desired 'then Prefect of the former Holy Office, Cardinal Ratzinger. In an extensive interview in the newspaper Avvenire, revived by Vatican Radio and the Vatican press office, the promoter of justice of the Doctrine of the Faith, Charles J. Scicluna said that a team of eight people working on these cases under consideration. The biggest news concerns the time limitation, already high in 2001 to ten years, calcolati a partire dal compimento dei 18 anni d’età della vittima. «Prima del 1898 – ha detto Scicluna – quello della prescrizione dell’azione penale era un istituto estraneo al diritto canonico». La prassi «indica – ha continuato – che il termine di dieci anni non è adeguato a questo tipo di casi, sarebbe auspicabile un ritorno al sistema precedente dell’imprescrittibilità». Peraltro, ha aggiunto, già Papa Wojtyla aveva concesso all’ex Sant’Uffizio la facoltà di derogare dalla prescrizione caso per caso e questo continua ad avvenire.
Il promotore di giustizia ha quindi spiegato che nei Paesi in cui non vi sia l’obbligatorietà dell’azione penalty, however, we encourage the bishops "to address the victims to ask them to denounce" the priests guilty of abuse.
Scicluna spoke well of the phenomenon in Italy, which does not seem to have a "dramatic scale," even if "concern" as "a certain culture of silence that I still see too common in the Peninsula." And finally provided the data to understand how the issue is not as extensive as one would like to believe: from 2001 to 2010 were a total of 3000 reports of abuses committed in the last 50 years you get to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Of these, only 10% are cases of "true pedophile", which involves children under the age of 12, while for a 60% of cases it is ephebophilia, which is due to sexual attraction to boys over 12 years.
On Father Lombardi spoke German affairs, which in referring to cases of Regensburg and Monaco, said: "It's pretty clear that there are those who in recent days has tried, with some ferocity, elements for the Holy Father personally involved in issues abuse. For any objective observer, it is clear that these efforts have failed. " The line of Ratzinger, he added, was "always that of the rigor and consistency in dealing with the situation even more difficult."

Father Lombardi: "Failed attempts to involve the Pope." Cracks in the choir until 1992 when he was the brother of the present Pontiff. The scandal behind the failure of bishops to govern
From Germany meanwhile come new revelations. Sexual abuse in the boarding school and the school attended by "Domspatzen," the choir of Regensburg, they would have lasted until 1992, and therefore also in the years when the choir was directed by the Pope's brother, Georg Ratzinger.
has also collected statements that describe the former choir director of the short-tempered: yet at the end of the eighties would come to throw a chair against his unruly and singers were once so angry that he dropped his dentures from his mouth.

De Magistris: INTIMIDATION - L'Idv accusa il governo di voler bloccare l'inchiesta su Rai e Agcom. «La decisione del ministro della Giustizia Alfano di inviare gli ispettori è una vera e propria intimidazione nei confronti della magistratura, che avviene quando sono ancora in corso indagini delicate che riguardano anche il presidente del Consiglio - attacca l’eurodeputato Luigi de Magistris -. La procura di Trani ha il diritto di lavorare in piena autonomia e indipendenza, come sancito dalla Costituzione.
