Kind director,
they are blasphemous or sacrilegious if I confess and admit that I am tired of hearing about TV and reading in the newspapers always e
only of Pope Francis for several days? There is also more. Thank you. In short, come on, there is a limit to everything.
Chiara Leone
Dear Chiara,
You are neither blasphemous nor sacrilegious, it simply shows that you have a threshold of patience and tolerance that I would define in the norm. The pontiff’s trapasso is a historical and relevant event for the Catholic community of the globe, however I consider them morbid the way of telling this fact, administering the viewer and also to the reader an impressive amount of services, insights, interviews in which we do nothing but repeat the same identical things. Becoming impatient is natural. Have enough, just as.
It is the defect of the media: they target a topic and discuss it for days, weeks, even months. The more today this costume is in vogue, which makes information petulant, obsessive, boring, repetitive. And then there is another vice, that of enhancing dramatically
A character, especially if he dies, because he likes even more dead. And then away with the praise and the testimonies of extraordinary acts, narrated by the fructive, by the distant relative, by the salesman.
We liked this pope. I have already had the opportunity to say. It was nice to me. And I shared many of his ideas, excluding those distinctly progressive, such as his positions on mass immigration, which took little account of the political, economic, social consequences as well as the repercussions on the order and security deriving from such a assault (not managed, not contrasted and not hindered) to our borders by hundreds of thousands of clandestines every year. Yet I am not surprised: the Pope must be the Pope and promote the message of love, welcome and brotherhood of Jesus Christ.
Yes, I liked Francesco.
Yet I am also softened to see it on every channel, at all hours of the day and night. It is good for the first 48 hours of death, but maintaining this rhythm means inducing the viewer, although faithful, nausea. So, Chiara, don’t feel guilty. You are a good Christian even if you declare yourself stove that you only hear from Francesco. God appreciates your honesty, does not punish you for this.
You won’t finish in hell if you don’t follow the marathon on the papal funeral. And I’m sure even the pontiff would have reassured you in this way. And maybe, wherever he is right now, he has full boxes. Even him.
