One man who knows the details of Gianna’s life like few others, and has no doubt about her saintliness, is the Capuchin Father, Paolino Rossi. He was the Postulator of her cause, and dislikes the emphasis on the manner of her death. “It’s an error to reduce her sainthood and her example to the last extreme gesture,” he said. “It was the culmination of a life lived with great intensity and a profound love of God and her fellow man.”
German bishops says anonymous informers not welcome
In his archdiocese anyone “who finds, or thinks they have found” that a priest is guilty of liturgical abuse, must first of all talk to the priest concerned in person, Cardinal Wetter said. He quoted Matthew 18:15: “If another member of the Church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone.” People should only turn to their bishop if this was of no avail, he said. Complaints would, moreover, only be listened to if the person lodging the complaint was prepared to reveal his or her name, and anonymous complaints would be considered null and void.
Reasonable and fair.
