Il non-cardinal zuppi, detto anche sindacalista zuppi, conferma ad ogni intervento lo scopo prettamente ideologico e politico della sua "presidenza" della cei.
Non ci si potrebbe aspettare granché di diverso visti i suoi potentissimi appoggi...
Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, as president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference (CEI), stepped too far into political territory with his recent remarks about the upcoming constitutional referendum on justice. According to the author, Zuppi did not simply encourage citizens to vote responsibly, but referred to specific and highly contested elements of the reform, such as the separation of careers between judges and prosecutors, the role of the High Council of the Judiciary, and the balance of powers. The article claims that these references closely mirror the arguments used by opponents of the reform and therefore amount to an implicit political position. It criticizes the subsequent CEI statement meant to downplay the controversy, calling it unconvincing and insufficient to neutralize the political impact of Zuppi’s words. The piece also expresses concern that such interventions risk dividing the Church internally and blurring the line between pastoral guidance and political advocacy, citing examples of parishes allegedly hosting magistrates or events aimed at influencing voters against the referendum. Overall, the article presents Zuppi’s intervention as a problematic and overly politicized move rather than a neutral call for civic participation.
