Father Paolo Contini's outburst, parish priest of the Christian community of Abbasanta, Ghilarza and Norbello, is still destined to make noise. In these days of Holy Week he has in fact communicated his bitterness to his parishioners over the developments of the ongoing trial for the abuse he suffered and reported .
«At this moment», says Father Paolo, « I thirst for justice and truth, for coherence and honesty, in reference to a truly disturbing fact . When I reported the abuse I suffered", underlines the religious, "a judicial process began in which some people, as my archbishop wrote to me, were "biased" to the point that he himself called for their "resignation" . Today those people have been promoted to offices of great importance for the Church. As soon as the news spread, Archbishop Roberto Carboni himself immediately wrote me a message saying: "I just saw the news searching on the internet, it leaves me disconcerted and angry, I understand your state of mind"" .
Father Paolo adds that «I thank our pastor for his immediate stance and I understand his bewilderment and his anger in the face of the absurdity of choices in which, those who were deserving of "resignation", are suddenly entrusted with first floor. I understand your dismay at seeing not my person offended, but a healthy Church that does not accept any compromise on such a delicate topic as that of child abuse."
Certain choices, Father Paolo highlights, " seem to ignore the indications of Pope Francis, who daily urges us to promote the fight against pedophilia and certainly not to give promotions to those who show hesitation or are even on the wrong side of such a sensitive issue".
