On Barbara Kornfeld
Tomorrow 7 maggio 2025 The master of the liturgical celebrations will pronounce the fateful phrase in Latin: "Extra Omnes" - all outside - which indicates the end of sharing and invites the non -voters cardinals to leave the Sistine chapel. We fantasized about what will be acted, facilitated by a thousand hypotheses, Some bisexuals: For this so far I have abstained from the drafting of pieces. This too has the purpose of testimony and self -accusation of the conduct that often has the category of media in spreading information. First of all in finding news: Many study from unreliable sources - in this case television series and films on streaming platforms - without then comparing them with reliable sources and comparing the data with real facts. Then the exasperated search for the scoop, without understanding that the conclave is conformed with millennial rites and rodate practices, where - in the "best" of the hypotheses - the malaise of Pietro Parolin could "fantasize", as they then was spread out of turn as fake news. The total lack of ethics: Some cardinals were literally "besieged": This is the case of the president of the Italian Episcopal Conference, Matteo Maria Zuppi, whose statements in the past ten days have been manipulated and widespread, despite its flawless demeanor; The journalists involved probably ignore that S.E. Zuppi has diplomatic skills of the highest level - he proved and e.g.. When he mediated for the liberation of twenty Ukrainian children held by the Putin regime - he is a magistrate and is active in the war areas to protect the contrast to poverty; ora, Keep a group of journalists who chase him "at bay", and with self -pity tone, repeats "excellence, a word, a word, a word ”it will have been easy, because without stopping he smiled and answered: "Good morning!”. The question they should have asked is: “What I'm doing here, If I know that every cardinal is held to the secret?”. I am really convinced that a cardinal is manipulable? I tried sadness and shame in their place. On d.. Zuppi in this period has been targeted other times - always with consequent manipulation of information – le scene, shown in videos by multiple sources they take on comedy tones: “S.E. how he feels?”, He "I'm in apnea"; “S.E. The discussion is heavy?” (The tone of journalists is compassionate, as if a meeting between cardinals must be the anteroom of the pillory), he “No, very interesting, I'm in apnea for you "; "Don't stand us"; he “No, Because I shouldn't stand you? My dad was a journalist, I'm only in apnea ". Not even this stopped them. On the same day, a national spread television network titled that Cardinal Zuppi "cannot stand journalists". And the same cardinal paradoxically, inaugurating "Good May 1st", he invited journalists to deal with work issues: The only statement that managed to "tear" him during the usual, comic, siege.
I think back when at six years of age I managed to understand my first news of the news: Charlie Chaplin's death. I cried. I decided that I would do the work of that gentleman but I would "say only facts that would have made children smile": I didn't know what work was. As an adult I turned on the role of author-regista, while performing my interviews independently. I have never forced the hand to anyone, nor did I distinct between social class and ethnicity: I often threw potential "scoop" potential because they could have harmed the safety of the person who was entrusting me with the testimony of his experiences. This does not make me a hero: it is ethics, The one that the order of journalists - who exists only in Italy and Türkiye - should make its members internalize.
To amaze the attitude of some Vaticanist: Even alleged “friends of Mons. Zuppi ”that ten days ago, from their social profiles, They praised a "change of pace" indicating Cardinal Tagle which future Pope, To then return to recognize the validity of the work of Mons. ZUPI (I dedicated the screen 2 of images to the evolution of the thought of one of these subjects). How is it possible? I did an analytical search by comparing existing databases: Mons. Zuppi is one of the three cardinal who has no social media, positive fact because all social platforms are headed by Zuckeberg or Musk, therefore under US control. Donald Trump caused the Vatican in every way: Color of the suit worn slightly out of the shade admitted by the protocol to the funeral of Pope Francis, The meme of self disguised as a Pontiff, Dolan's suggestion as future pope, Self -made by Jedi of Star Wars surrounded by two eagles and two US flags. The only response he obtained from the Holy See was to see the opening of a dialogue between him and Zelensky subsidized after the events that took place in the oval study months ago.
The former parishioners of Mons. Zuppi in Trastevere describe him as "one of them", around bicycle, always ready to listen and help: Once I met him in that area of Rome - in a restaurant at the end of a long day of work - I didn't get closer because I don't disturb people while dinner. In spite of commonplaces, His meal was rather frugal, made of a pear and a piece of cheese (I ask Venia if I deny his privacy, I write it for those who think of the so -called "binged" of the prelates). On the web I found an FB page created by a group of Bologna that follows him with affection and goliardia, entitled "Zuppi does things", To indicate its dynamism and industriousness: They do not fail to make it jokingly around, But it is understood that they are happy and proud to have it in Bologna. The second time I met the monsignor was when I wanted to interview him in Acerra (THAT), I preventively sent him the five synthetic questions which however included complex topics (Obviously I also sent them to the local bishop): He replied that there would hardly have been time. I followed and filmed it all afternoon: He was prodigal of attention for anyone who intercepted him on the street and acquitted the commitments on the agenda. Three of those answers I got them during the catechesis that he made in the cathedral of Acerra to the faithful, The fourth question asked the bishop. It went well: Having a microphone and a camera must not develop delusions of omnipotence, It is the first thing we explain to our assistants and interns; then we try to make them understand the value of respect, of education, of being "invisible" while events take place. It seems that in the digital era and influencers they are concepts that try to decline.
To amaze the attitude of some Vaticanists, Even those who boast permanent thirty -year -old accreditations: In ten days they passed by the alleged need for "a change of pace" with the promotion of an Asian Pope (Mons. Tagle, who praised for singing John Lennon's "Imagine"), Fantasticians on alleged rope inside the Sistine Chapel, to the need of an Italian Pope.
A consideration as an ignorant person on international politics but who applies common sense and logic: Trump wants the agreement with China for economic purposes and dominate the world (Each externalization is the end of profit because it does not fail to say it), The head of Christianity cannot be influenced by Filocinese power logics. Another small corrective: The media often speak of "successor of Pope Francis", Tomorrow the Conclave is organized to elect the "successor of Peter": Cardinals know it, And they know that the Holy Spirit will inspire them, who will invoke during the Holy Mass before the start of the works.
The meetings of the past few days took place to get to know each other better, But the Vatican is organized: arrived in Rome, Each of them received a book – so -called "faces book" – With photos and biography of all the elusive. The "pre-conclave" meetings serve to get to know each other better and starting to fix the general objectives regarding the challenges that the Church and its pontiff must place themselves from its election onwards: Only in this way can the right man be identified. However, I have no doubts that the climate is cheerful and playful, they are cultured people, intelligent and accustomed to being in the middle of the Atri; Scenario very different from the one hypothesized by many journalists on the basis of the films seen on television. Our Archbishop Mons also confirmed it. Bellandi who spoke about a "man of mercy and joy" in Pope Francis to pope Francis ": eighty of the cardinals present at the Conclave created them, they will surely have at least these two basic qualities.
Equally questionable speech for secular organizations that have made the Pope's funeral an opportunity to promote their own summer activities or their books for sale: complete with photos on display when the Pontiff went to visit them.
My perplexity arises from the bewilderment-and the pseudo-terrifying consequences – that the set of these attitudes "by those who professed people of God" causes those who do not have points of reference or is agnostic: In my professional experience I understood that "for those who do not believe, explanations are not enough", "For those who believe they don't need it", It is a phrase that maybe I read or heard; By virtue of this awareness in my documentaries I have an anthropological approach without making "catechism" (It is not my job), I give space to all points of view, fact that induces people to ask questions and maybe enter the church, where there are those who know how to answer better than me to questions of faith.
In Italy, from baptized, We are the people who study less their religion of belonging: We are very good at "talking about pedophile priests" or "priests thieves" but in the Gospel there is no possibility, Those if anything are pedophiles and thieves who have "made priests" swearing the false in taking the votes. But they are still men like us, So it cannot be said that the "Church is march" because the rotten exists wherever there is man: Pope Francis and his predecessors have conducted several investigations that have produced serious consequences, which convictions, arrests and interdictions from the possibility of participating in the conclave.
The peak of the surreal took place when a few days ago the list of the so -called "eligible" artificial intelligence was asked for artificial intelligence: At the top of the list I three Italians, The Asian cardinal, the German one, the Swedish.
Some deani of the Campania press - who had declared that they would not participate in the "Totopapa" at the death of the Pontiff - they probably made probability calculations, sorting, "From the top of their social platforms", in favor of Mons. ZUPI: Considering that it was often in Campania, While the Cardinal of Naples "would have few chances to win it" being of fresh appointment.
I fly over politicians and entertainment men who paraded on the web with photos of themselves with Pope Francis and phrases of circumstance; The next day they posted photos and videos that portray them in dance clubs, in the mountains or on the beach. Italian comedians gave the worst of themselves, ironizing in a drinking way: Those who carry out their business on the web have done so because by grace of God those of national importance have had a more appropriate demeanor.
Likewise, the attitude of the many who photographed the children in front of the pontiff's coffin leaves perplexed: the same who do not bring them to the funeral of the grandmother so as not to shock them. Then we allow ourselves to argue on religious: If God had no charity we would all be condemned, I also pointed out to me to notice the inconsistencies.
A positive thought on an unsuspected politician, Fine philosopher from Campania: Governor Vincenzo De Luca, In this moment isolated from the summit of his party but no less vital than usual. In recent public apparitions he cited the dialogue between Pope Celestino V and Cardinal Benedetto Caetani (Future Pope Bonifacio VIII) When the former decided to give up his role and return to be a hermit. The summary of dialogue for De Luca is that the cardinal gave him the "absurd Christian" but that there is a need for an absurd Pope to be good Christians. Then ironized on the many memes in circulation, someone even generated by mayors his former supporters, who publish it on social media disguised as a Pontiff: he said jokingly, but with a deliberately demented tone, that currently "in the race to the Soglio Petrino there would have been the wicked that sits in the White House and he". I agree with the Governor from Campania when he says “that we must stop being generic: names and surnames must be made. He also says it at his risk in case of error: The press, on the other hand, is assopitated in a bangs and wakes up when the facts are irrefutable, But this is not the location.
In conclusion I think the future of the Mother Church is in good hands, despite the scenario of world apostasy: Pope Francis has delocalized his range of action in creating eighty new cardinals scattered in every corner of the planet, promoted four encyclicals, Two jubilees, Seven apostolic exhortations, Two pontifical bubbles, eight apostolic letters, A podcast, presence in the middle of its flock until the last breath; his two predecessors started a real revolution; anyone intends to deny the doctrine and the Gospel; The Church looks to itself and the challenges of the world that changes: If anything, it is we who should observe it with different eyes and more open mind, and above all to grasp the hazel of the inheritance that Pope Francis left us: “Don't be afraid to go against the current, When you do good ".
