Bill Zan, Sister Alfieri against Fedez: “Inaccuracies about the Vatican, studies”

Sister Anna Monica Alfieri, a name linked to many battles for the right to education, legal representative of the Marcelline Institute of Culture and Languages, wrote an open letter to rapper Fedez who took it out on the Vatican for the intervention on the Zan bill, then accusing him of “not paying taxes”. Immediate the arrows of the nun who, in an open letter viewed by the Adnkronos, corrects Fedez for the many “inaccuracies” said about the Vatican inviting him to read up before speaking. Read also In the letter to “Federico Leonardo Lucia” (Fedez), the nun writes: “I imagine, given your young age, that you are fresh out of your studies and that at school, both in the First and Second Grade Secondary School, your history teachers have presented to you (and then you have studied at home in the afternoon) the Lateran Concordat of 1929 and its Revision of 1984. Sure, you will tell me: the Concordat of 1929 was signed by Mussolini. I agree. The 1984 one, however, was signed, for the Italian state, by Bettino Craxi, a true socialist, certainly not a friend of the Vatican and its alleged logic of power. I hope, therefore, that, before making certain statements, he took those books back into his hands, provided that he kept them and did not sell them at the end of the year. What is legitimate, God forbid, some extra money to help in the family or to give to charity is always good! “. The nun, after seeing the rapper’s video, was astonished: “Looking at the video you have released, I understand that you do not know, with a wealth of data, the issues that you intend to bring to public attention, namely: what a secular state is , what is a Concordat, what is the subject of priests tried under Vatican and / or civil law, what taxes are paid. Again, I believe that you are unaware of the voluntary work that hundreds of thousands of lay people, priests, nuns perform every day. The solidarity you speak of, in reality, is called proximity and never happens in favor of the camera. The right does not know what the left is doing, said that Someone.Since I am older (of age of course) than you, I take the liberty of giving you some advice, even if not requested: I do it in consideration of all the unsolicited advice that also She offers every day, thanks to a refined and elegant vocabulary which clearly shows her profound culture and her high civic sense. If you wish to make a contribution to the Res-publica – which is highly commendable and which, moreover, also represents a duty for all citizens pursuant to art. 2 of the Constitution – it is necessary to read up before expressing oneself, in order to avoid overlapping of arguments. One thing is the Zan bill which, I remind you, in art. 4 and 7 affects the right to freedom of expression (Article 21 of the Constitution), to the freedom of teaching of teachers (Article 33 of the Constitution), to the freedom of educational choice that belongs to parents, that is to you and not to others, neither Church nor State (Article 30 of the Constitution). And this is a fact “. The nun also intervenes on the accusation of Fedez at the Vatican of not paying taxes:” Regarding his concern for money (a concern with a very high moral profile and, above all, consistent with his style of life, always so sober and sober), I inform you that, with regard to your statement ‘The Vatican does not pay real estate taxes and Italy is violating the Concordat’, in 2020, the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See paid for taxes € 5.95 million for IMU and € 2.88 million for IRES. To these must be added the taxes paid by the Governorate, Propaganda fide, the Vicariate of Rome, the Italian Episcopal Conference and individual religious bodies. It’s all documented, down to the last penny. And this too is a fact. That said, the freedom of the individual cannot be denied. If he wants to stay on his position, we will all come to terms with it. Of course, I always suggest to the young people to whom you are addressing them to deepen, to go beyond the news. After all, I am convinced that this is the duty of every person: to be a positive example, especially considering that today’s adolescents, so lost and so alone, will be the citizens of tomorrow. The defamation and verbal violence with which we have fed them in recent years, who knows what consequences they will have on their future ”.
