With the presence of Gianni Riotta, Massimo Borghesi and Pietro Modiano<\/p>\n
Rimini, August 22nd 2015 \u2013 \u201cYou all know how important was for Father Giussani the experience of meeting: not considered as an idea, but as a person, Jesus Christ\u201d. Recalling Pope Francis words\u2019 at the encounter with Comunion and Liberation on March 7th 2015, Alberto Savorana, spokesman of the movement, introduced the main theme of the convention that took place in room Eni B1. Three important exponents of different professionals boundaries talked about their different approaches, direct or indirect, with Father Giussani\u2019s thought and they questioned on the actuality of the contribute that CL\u2019s founder can suggest to contemporary man, relating to complex challenges in our society. <\/p>\n
It was spontaneous to remember the figure of Father Francesco Ventorino, recently passed away. As Father Julian Carron remarked, with his life he was a witness of the fecundity in following the charm of the Lombard priest. Giussani\u2019s vocation to meeting \u2013 marked Savorana \u2013 was fed by \u201ca deep sympathy for the entire human experience he met during his life\u201d, which gave him \u201ca desire to embrace that didn\u2019t exclude anyone\u201d, he was sure what he was fascinated by had a universal range. \u201cThe greatness of Christian faith, without any other comparison \u2013 Giussani said \u2013 is this: Christ answered to human question. Feeling your own humanity, \u201cthe lack in your life, is the essential condition to understand that answer and locate every speech of the priest.
\nThat necessity was remarked by the first relator, the columnist of \u201cLa Stampa\u201d Gianni Riotta, who warned from the leaning, especially on the media, to presuppose possible answers of Father Giussani to episodes and contemporary problems. \u201cThe breath of founder\u2019s of CL is wider \u2013 affirmed the journalist \u2013 since \u201870s it appeared focused on bigger perspectives \u2013 as for contents and duration \u2013 than the short-lived critics of his cultural opponents\u201d. It will be fundamental, as Riotta said recalling Father Carron exhortation \u201cto look at what Giussani said, not at what he would have said, at what Giussani did, not at what he would have done\u201d.
\nIn particular it will be useful imitating his behavior of questioning \u201cthe only possible antidote to that claim of demonize the other which dominates all Western society\u201d, that in every sphere of life, points as an enemy who thinks or lives in a different way (\u201cparadoxally reproducing the terroristic ideology\u201d). The hope to react to that tendency, Riotta said, is evident in events such as the Meeting, opened since 36 years to dialogue with exponents of every kind of political and cultural current.
\nMassimo Borghesi, Philosophy moral professor at Perugia University, mentioning the subtitle of his recent book \u201cLuigi Giussani. Amorous knowledge and experience of truth\u201d, marked that the itinerary of the lombardo priest was a modern one. \u201cThis thanks to his ability of looking at reality which wasncharacterized by a reactive and opened sensibility to human problems\u201d. Examples of this are the success of his educative line and the appreciation of atheist authors but deeply standing in their life. Two fundamental categories project Giussani\u2019s thought beyond XX century, in a modern dimension: the religious sense and experience, that gave him the disposability to dialogue with everything that, even if different and unexpected, a man can face. He reintroduced that categories in Italian religious dialogue in an original way, releasing them from the suspects of modernism and reinserting them in church\u2019s tradition, through truth\u2019s principle, which Giussani considered the same as liberty. \u201cThe first, in an objective way, can\u2019t exist without a personal existential and suffered path, and as for the second \u2013 specified Borghesi \u2013 it\u2019s just the union of this two instance that can insert fully faith in history\u201d. <\/p>\n
A third category, the meeting, makes Giussani\u2019s thought not only modern but also actual. \u201cBeing opened to the encounter \u2013 said the philosopher \u2013 allows catholic charm to face different challenges of present. The only possible attitude of reversion to evangelic origins, which is not traduced in conservatism, but in a complete historical judgment.
\nThe importance of Giussani\u2019s concept of \u201cmeeting\u201d was testified by the third relator, Sea\u2019s president (Airport exercises society) Pietro Modiano, who talked about his cultural and politic education. \u201cAn education set in Milan in a contest contemporary with CL\u2019s story, but it apparently looked like very different\u201d. His recent comparison with some friends belonging to the Movement grew from the recognition of a common unity even in differences, \u201can amorous knowledge\u201d, which is identified in the \u201creligious sense\u201d. If, as Leopardi felt long before Giussani, it consists of the conflict between finite and infinite perceived from man of every time, the solution that Giussani proposes \u2013 the relator recognized \u2013 is the \u201cencounter with friends that that trough love, teach you loving others and Other beyond them\u201d.
\nModiano could have experienced the Meeting, even if it\u2019s often accused of being omologated and sectarian, is a perfect expression of Giussani\u2019s penetration: \u201cA place of liberty is where you can ask serious question, on the tendency of going beyond finite, questions that teaches looking an Other and wins the tendency to overpowering\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
