Until when will We continue to be children of a Minor god?

Reflections by Paolo Spina*

I think this image can summarize enough how much i am trying these days.

Tourists in Copenhagen, we came across the Pride Week, a flourishing of initiatives involving the whole city, with various events. Everywhere it affects how everyone participates, including families and friends.

And, as happens elsewhere, one of the main lutera communities of the capital, that of the Church of Our Lady, organized a dedicated Sunday worship, celebrated by the Pastora, with the theme: The all-Inclusive love of God.

I have a dilated heart by a Christian Church so ... but also open and injured: I prayed to God with the words of Psalm 30: "Until?".

I am angry with the Catholic Church that so much and so much has excluded and excludes. Of course, things are changing, also thanks to the commitment of so much*, but the road is very long and often the hierarchy is so "foolish and slow from the heart"...

I felt an awareness: for me, that I have two families who love me, mine and that of Domenico, the share of "suffering" is touched with the Catholic ecclesial family. And, therefore, it will be there that I have to invest the greatest commitment, even in favor of those who have difficulties elsewhere (families of origin, work, of other nature), because our communities really can walk, forward, together.
