The Roman document of the directors of clinical obstetrics, which establishes the duty of doctors to revive in any case baby fetus in extreme prematurity, despite the risk of severe suffering and birth and even against the wishes of the mother, has a taste for provocation bordering on fundamentalist horror. Much has been said about this "senseless cruelty," as he rightly called Livia Turkish. But I think that starting from a sense of awe for these aberrations, we should reflect on the root causes. I believe that the fund the senseless cruelty of the document there is a sense of alienated life.
A sense in modern society resulting from the penetration of the sacred domain which is a major source of violence. Life is sacred as part of a whole which includes becoming finitude and death. The sacral culture instead separates life from its limitations. Life is sacralized abstract dimension as opposed to the equally abstract dimension of death. The sacredness understood as an abstraction, separation and conflict between the various dimensions of our existence is the projection of unresolved anguish, of an internal split, a lack of independence and finally, an alienation of subjectivity in the hands of power. Wrong if we only identify the sacred with the expression of a religious nature. The sacredness is a function of power, domination and expropriation of man and woman. Wherever it says sacred space there is the prohibition of human women to manage their own existence with reason and responsible action. It imposes the absolute power of a god is the god of traditional religions or the god of secular religions, the religions of money, science, technology, war. This transfer of the sacred religious culture from the modern rationality should not be in my sottovalutato.Sono many lay people who believe they are getting rid of the sacred because they are more a sign of cross. Declare themselves non-believers, atheists, agnostics and turn elsewhere. And so sacred that bind the structures of the deep regions of individuals and companies can operate freely while continuing to pollute our individual lives and collettive.Se we look a little 'inside there is a perception of life separate from its inherent finitude, we can see in the dark dark depths of our myth or dream of immortality for all unacknowledged and are also a perception of death as a reality in itself separate from life, as absolute evil, hypostasis or icon of the enemy behind which lie all hostility. While life and death are one. And death is immersion in the sea of \u200b\u200blife life. seeds of the sacred as alienation have been lodged by dogmatic Christianity for centuries in the conscience. Through the catechisms we have been accustomed since childhood to think of death as a punishment for sin, a kind of death sentence became sinful humanity, an execution that only God has the right to run. The monstrous destructive violence comes from there, from the monstrosity of the 'death penalty', the monstrosity of the violent expropriation of our responsibility. The Christian dogma did not invent this idea from scratch. He inherited from millennia and has reworked making a real reversal of the joyful message of hope that emanates from the oldest traditions of the Gospels. And in turn transmitted it to subtly secularized society. The Christian dogma, which is shared by other religions, has changed form and has crept into modern culture. In our time, according to exorcise death, to separate it from life and to dispose of one or the other that is paid by large secular social constructs including not least the medicine. E 'from there, from the sacral roots, from the sacralization alienating, that the document is also born on the resuscitation of the fetus and the expropriation of subjectivity responsible mother.' a huge task for the release of the deep sacral culture. Takes too long for our impatience. Can discouraged. Commitment to social and political liberation may be considered a priority. Yet the work on the deep is essential. The return of the sacred as the root of violence is always there and always ready to undo all the gains made on a purely political level. As we see every day. E 'must oppose injustice and war, but our commitment will not be effective unless c'incurveremo in a large collective effort to identify and eradicate the gene from DNA cultural and religious violence, by creating and spreading a culture of accountability for all non-violent living, mixed with wisdom and responsibility.
