A Jeremiad Press Release by Cardinal Caffarra

Cardinal Caffarra as a more responsible pastor, leader, teacher and head of the local Church of Bologna has expressed with full vitality like prophet Jeremiah, the great prophet of the Old Testament, the pathetic conditions of the city and it’s citizens.
He has made a through study about the city, it’s historical authenticity and back-ground, the present life conditions of the local people, namely, the moral, ethical, educational, economical and social problems, and with out ay dilemma or hesitation like the great prophet Jeremiah has exposed to the light the existing problems and woeful conditions of Bologna.
As a responsible pastor he has taken a bold step to indicate the social and spiritual needs of the people, at the same time, he also tried to remind the civil leaders about their responsibilities and duties to be fulfilled for a smooth running of the society and to eradicate the existing problems from the city. As I read his intervention I am very sure; he much has been dam sure about the negative reactions of the Mayor and other heads of the city. I think this may be his strategy to provoke both the people and the local leaders to work for the betterment of the city.
But still I have some problem with regard to this intervention made my Cardinal Caffarra against the woeful conditions of the city. He has directly attacked the Mayor of the city Mr.Cofferati as if it was his mistake for the present condition of the city today. He has mentioned about the praise worthy steps taken by the Bologna Church to eliminate the poverty in the city but still there are other serious ethical, moral and educational problems present, which he himself has mentioned, and what steps the local church has taken to reduce this problems? Therefore, according to me instead of sending into air the existing problems by blaming the civil and political leaders he could have invited all for a joined venture to eliminate these problems and to safeguard the citizens.
Because, there is no use of sending press releases and interviews in blaming each other, which will never improve the life of the people or solve the existing problems, but simply justifying each ones arguments and proving oneself as if just and honest.
