Angelo Becciu "is a Sardinian cardinal even though he has lived in Rome for many years, we have known each other for many years". His presence at the Consistory of Pope Francis "will be a reason for serenity for him but also a joy that may be among us , a sign that the difficulties he has encountered will be clarified".
This is what Monsignor Arrigo Miglio, archbishop emeritus of Cagliari, ready to become a cardinal says, speaking to journalists in the Vatican on the day the Consistory with two Sardinian cardinals kicks off.
Yes, because in addition to Miglio, as is known, there is Angelo Becciu, who will be reinstated in his functions .
Becciu, adds Miglio, “ we will welcome him as we have always welcomed him and as we welcome each other”.
"FIGHTING ABTENSIONISM"
Going to more general issues, the archbishop emeritus of Cagliari underlines the need to "motivate participation" in the vote in view of the upcoming elections.
“If I have to tell people who go to church that they must go and vote, because this is the concrete step, the fight against abstention, it is no longer enough that neither the parish priest nor the bishop nor the cardinal say so. We must motivate people to understand and therefore to overcome the temptation to withdraw into indifference, to mind their own business, ”he said.
As for the theme of the common good in the electoral campaign, “let's say that we are talking about it, it is already something, as for seeing it, then perhaps we need to see it in the facts, in the choices. . And therefore, just to touch on a theme that is not exactly peaceful, then the will to achieve the common good will have to be verified ”.
