Christians, Frattini retracts text EU that appoints them

Brussels, January 31 (TMNews)

- Foreign Minister Franco Frattini has asked for and received, in Brussels today, the withdrawal, the conclusions of EU Foreign Affairs Council, a text condemning the recent attacks on religious communities North Africa and the Middle East, but without explicitly mentioning Christians. "It 's a beautiful page - explained Frattini meeting with reporters in Brussels this evening - the Council today, after we found on a text shared by 15 countries' governments with the family of the EPP," in which we consider it essential to mention the theme, the existence and the word 'Christian community' , we ended up with a text that the Council did not contain the word 'Christian'. I proposed then - as the Italian minister - an amendment that recalled both the terrorist attacks against Christian communities that the community against the Shia of Karbala; but even this was not accepted . "Against the amendment, which was to be unanimously accepted, several countries have expressed "some, like Ireland and Spain, surprisingly, and others, like Portugal and Luxembourg, in a more obvious." This is enough to reject the amendment. "Then - he continued Frattini - I felt that the text was not credible and I asked for and received were withdrawn. Europe has once again demonstrated that secularism is exacerbated damaging to its credibility , "said the Italian Minister, reporting that, however, the High Representative for EU foreign policy, Catherine Ashton, has undertaken to propose a new text to the next Council of Foreign Affairs.

Le sciocchezze di Corrado Augias

Francis Agnoli

Review and refutation of some blatantly false claim of an amateur who ventures in areas where jurisdiction.

also copying entire songs on the web.

[From the 'helm' No 86, September-October 2009]

Battleship Republic of the daily media continues to churn through its newspapers, books and pamphlets against the Church. It seems to feel a moral duty unstoppable. After the investigation of alleged Curzio Maltese, La begging, full of inaccuracies and slander, have come the powerful and inconclusive The church no, the Vatican correspondent Marco Politi (with a preface by Emma Bonino), and the nineteenth-century pamphlet Claudia Rendina, Holy caste of the Church, focusing on all the evils real or suspected of clerics and believers in general.

But above all, among the most aggressive and most successful works, as a result, there are the three books of Conrad Augias: Jesus Inquest, Inquiry into Christianity, and, finally, dispute about God, a dialogue for two voices with Vito Mancuso . Augias, it should be remembered, is also a TV presenter, a time known to the general public. Clearly took the opportunity to throw himself headlong in fields that do not knows and admits that, en passant, to be a true amateur. This does not stop to offer his opinions, unfounded, as the well-established truth. In reality, always behind his reconstructions, there is the ideology, the injury of those who believe that man is comparable to a random cluster of atoms, aimless and without meaning. Interesting, to understand his anthropological vision, two statements made in the dispute about God first compares the soul to a future computer, nothing more, 'able to express feelings and to draw on their own forms of self-learning "(p. 123), while the second compares man to a monkey, wanting to deduce the negation of the existence of God and the immortal soul: "One time at the zoo, I felt a very strong temptation to embrace the poor body hairy, lewd, unaware of an ape, and he embraced me, this act of nullifying clumsy brotherhood million years that separate us "(p. 242).

In light of these statements can understand why, beyond its book production, Augias devotes many of his answers on the Republic, the page of the readers, to issues of bioethics, with drawn sword defending abortion, contraception, euthanasia, etc. 486 Ru . with dull bitterness, with real hatred towards the position of Catholics, that to him, undemocratic, they are always and invariably "intolerable."

Augias The idea, in fact, is that in a democracy there can be "non-negotiable principles" which do not change, that can not be violated by anyone. The reason is not given understand, since the entire history of the twentieth century, with its wars, its camps, the gulag and the Laogai, shows just how the intangible values \u200b\u200bare essential to prevent the law, all'auctoritas to become tyrannical, dictatorial and prevaricating. Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot, so to speak, did not recognize non-negotiable values, and even spiritual values: the result was seen.

Augias, he said, contrasts with the mainly Catholic thought in the field of bioethics, as it decided to affirm the absolute ability of each individual self-determination, as was the master of life, themselves and others. On March 10, 2006 the Republic had to write to his manager: "I'm going to buy the kit of the" Good Death "for sale in Brussels and I think also in the Netherlands. The price is low, less than a hundred euro. There is awareness in suicide responsibly exercised a trace of the old Roman virtues. The desire to be masters of themselves, to say farewell to the life without having to feel ashamed. "

back to his books on Christianity, Augias offers its truth "irrefutable" Jesus would never proclaimed and God would have created a Church, but only as a "messianic community ',' eschatological reality," the "Day of Judgement "! After similar statements grotesque, Augias - deliberately omitting talk about the first 300 years of popes, priests and laymen, were killed in the Roman amphitheatres, burned in Nero's gardens, looted their belongings and their property, just to keep their faith - says that the growth of Christianity was due mainly to the intervention of the emperor Constantine. He, on the other hand, would become only self-interest, to the Catholic religion an instrument of power, finding just the alliance of an institution, the Church in fact, always ready to do its dirty political and economic interests. As always Augias offers all its eccentricity as an irrefutable dogma, reinforced, he said, by the unanimous opinion of unspecified "historical". On the one hand that there would be Catholics, foolish and gullible, more willing to go behind the stories of conversions, and on the other hand those who have the courage to face up to reality.

The truth is completely different. Anyone who wants can simply browse the current historiography, largely secular, on Constantine. You will see how you can sell smoke, to give arguments that are not detected at all, with the greatest ease. To support the veracity of the conversion of chops, the gradual process of approaching true that this man did to the religion of Christ, are all the greatest connoisseurs of the time. I cite only Guido Clemente, professor of Roman history at the University of Florence, author of A Guide to Roman History (Knopf); Augustus Fraser, professor of economic and social history of the ancient world of Rome La Sapienza, author of The Conversion . From Rome to Christian Rome (Laterza), Arnaldo Marcone professor of Roman History at the University of Udine and the author of Pagan and Christian. The Death and Life of Constantine (Laterza), Robin Lane Fox, a professor of Ancient History at New College, Oxford, author of Pagans and Christians (Yale University Press), and many other titles scholars of the ancient world, as Andrew Alföldi, Franchi de 'Cavalieri, Norman Baynes, Marta Sordi, Klaus Bringmann ... Among them only to point out, per mancanza di spazio, il grande archeologo Paul Veyne, di formazione laica e comunista. Veyne sostiene con sicurezza l’autenticità della conversione di Costantino, ricordando, con J.B. Bury, che la sua «rivoluzione fu forse l’atto più audace mai commesso da un autocrate in spregio alla grande maggioranza dei suoi sudditi». È innegabile, infatti, che all’epoca di questo imperatore, che pose fine alle persecuzioni dei cristiani, essi non erano per nulla appetibili come forza politica e sociale: costituivano solo il 5—10 % della popolazione, mentre Senato, aristocrazia romana ed esercito erano in stragrande maggioranza pagani. Il cristianesimo, continua Veyne, si impose allora «perché offriva qualcosa different and new, "because it was" religion of love ", not because of the strength and power.

The same carelessness and malice with which liquid Augias Constantine also characterizes most of his other arguments, when incorrectly states that the works of Darwin were condemned by the Church when copying whole passages of EO Wilson, taken from the network, not to mention the source claiming to be his, when hastily Eluana defines a "living corpse" when placing the philosopher Spinoza and Freud among the great scientists and tells them that the Church was excommunicated, when he explains that the Church, which created the institution hospital, would hindered the use of painkillers for a macabre taste of the pain [...]. Again, this is all nonsense with the air of someone who knows a lot. And the reader can not naive to believe that well-known face and persuasive ...

KP 4: Murder in Washington should not forget

Title: Murder in Washington
Date: September 1977

Subject / Screenplay:
Giancarlo Berardi
Drawings / Cover:
Ivo Milazzo

In a second cover song Dakota warrior with the usual pattern of Ivo Milazzo heading for "Footprints in the wind "

And the number 4 cup Berardi-Milazzo square the first bomb of the series. Murder in Washington is one of the books that I like better for several reasons. E 'revolutionary in terms of graphics, for some choices that we will see, the story is very compelling and is on two completely different scenarios, Ken Berardi does express the important concepts of his way of seeing the world and finally happens, the first fact which will mark a turning point in the following events. But first things first.
In the previous issue, I gentlemen, we left Ken traveling on a train headed east. Here we discover the final destination of Washington, the capital, and the beautiful table Our opening shows at the station with a look a bit 'dazed. Ken is pictured dressed as a trapper, complete with a rifle, saddle bag: her figure is superimposed on the two horizontal cartoons under the title, creating a detachment from the background noise and chaos of the station.

Ken is in Washington to meet with a historical character really existed, Donehogawa Ely, an Iroquois (who graduated in engineering and law) that President Grant has given the post of Commissioner of the Office for Indian Affairs. Ken has to urge him to appoint an Indian agent in the reserve is located in Fort Dakota Smith. In ultmi periods, in fact, there have been continuous provocations by whites against the Dakota with the intent to cause a new Indian war. Reason? The usual ... the recent discovery in the reserves of mineral deposits that are coveted by companies ...
Donehogawa met Ken and he does partecpare a parliamentary session during which the Commissioner about the meeting. And this brings an extraordinary sequence of tables, just to the drawings, as for content, culminating in the tables:

Design by Ivo Milazzo: Eli Donehogawa pronounce his act charge of the classroom parliamentary

Queste sono tavole storiche: per la prima volta nella storia della Bonelli, un unico disegno copre completamente due pagine. E l'eccezionalità grafica è giustificata dalla grandiosità delle tavole che abbraccia tutta l'aula parlamentare, partendo dal primo piano del pubblico rumoreggiante nel loggione, per scendere sui deputati negli scranni fino a Donehogawa che, davanti alla Presidenza, in piedi sta declamando il suo discorso. Le parole del Commissario sono importanti ed esplicite: accusa gli Stati Uniti d'America di genocidio verso il popolo rosso .
Di grande pathos è anche la tavola successiva, più tradizionale graficamente, ma di enorme impatto per la scena rappresentata e le parole pronunciate Ken:

Design by Ivo Milazzo: Ken ashamed to be an American citizen

The reader's heart beats with that of Ken, blurted out to the indignation of be represented by individuals who can not be called men. And 'the indignation of the common man, who may not have studied, but know the values \u200b\u200bof honesty and loyalty. Each vignette of this table is memorable for expressions that take Milazzo is the face of Ken, the strength and clarity of words that makes him say Berardi, and finally to the output of only contemptuous of the classroom that can dire di avere una dignità.
In tre sole tavole sono condensati quindi molti sentimenti e molte idee di Ken che sono sufficienti per far innamorare il lettore al personaggio.
Rispetto all'interpretazione grafica di Ken, si può notare che il tratto di Milazzo è evoluto rispetto ai numeri passati: c'è ancora qualche isolata vignetta in cui l'espressione del viso di Lungo fucile è un po' incerta ma, in generale, si può dire che Ken abbia raggiunto la sua rappresentazione grafica classica. Anzi, in questo numero ho osservato che lo spettro di espressioni diverse assunte dal viso di Ken è molto ampio. L'abbiamo già visto nella tavola in cui Ken sbotta al Parlamento, ma ce ne sono altre lungo tutto l'albo che rivelano several different moods. Here are some:

back to the story, the unscrupulous businessmen in cahoots with corrupt politicians are murdered Donehogawa Ely: This is a license that takes Berardi as the Commissioner of Indian Affairs actually died di morte naturale. In ogni caso Ken viene accusato dell'omicidio e finisce in galera, dalla quale viene tirato fuori da Oake Barnum, l'agente della Pinkerton che Ken aveva conosciuto lungo il viaggio in treno. A queso punto c'è una bella sequenza in cui un Ken triste esprime la sua difficoltà nei confronti dell'ambiente cittadino.

Disegno di Ivo Milazzo: Ken è solo

C'è poi una tavola interessante in cui Ken rifiuta la pietà di una ragazza di città (la stessa che aveva conosciuto lungo il viaggio in treno) che le si sta per concedere, interessata più che a lui, alla figura di Trapper Ken is brave of him. Pleasant, the final conclusion ...

Meanwhile a common criminal is caught and charged with the murder of Ely Donehogawa Ken knows that the real culprit is not the scapegoat but is silenced for ever ....

Design by Ivo Milazzo: false guilty of is eliminated from the police

Ken has nothing to do in Washington: the bad experience makes him return to Montana very bitter. Unfortunately, disasters do not end there. The real murderess, Donald Welsh, took the clothes of the new agent Dakota Indian reservation, with the intent to unleash hidden, due to continued provocation, the ire of the Dakota tribe, whose chief Ohiewa in the following vignette, we show very skeptical about the possible coexistence with whites:

Design by Ivo Milazzo: Ken smoke the calumet with the Dakota Chapter Ohiewa

In greeting the Indian chief, Ken used to the first Once its classic greeting

Design Ivo Milazzo: So long!

The provocations of Welsh are successful, the Dakota fall into the trap and the army, while imagining the dirty game that is happening, threatening surgery. The excuse infamous executable orders, which the military often washed false consciousness while losing the dignity of men, causing irreparable damage.

battle ensues and is a hell, brilliantly represented by Ivo Milazzo that always stands out in its ability to draw scenes of this kind.

Design by Ivo Milazzo: The Dakota attacked

In particular, the following table recalls those of the seventeenth century Dutch paintings which were represented in complex battle scenes.

Design by Ivo Milazzo: the battle rages

Despite the chaos that is generated, Ken is able to distinguish Welsh, pursues him, but the catch is affected by treachery. The final vignette is very worrying. Ken lay on the ground with a bullet in the body, while Welsh leaves undisturbed a horse.

Design by Ivo Milazzo: Ken ground

This sticker is very important. Represents the first breakthrough in the history of Ken. One of the innovations introduced by the series is this: the protagonist is not always equal to itself as happens in other collections Bonelli. Happen because of events that leads to the change, sometimes radically, the life of Ken. On the other hand is what happens in real life to us all: change over time because of the facts happen to us more or less important. From this point of view, like many others, Ken is one of us.

Lingual Braces Before And After

On the occasion of Holocaust Remembrance Day , the Rizzoli-Lizard is out in bookstores and comics "Anne Frank - The comic book biography" of for Sid Jacobson texts, and Ernie Colon for drawings. This is the official biography authorized by Anne Frank Foundation, which tells the story, not only Anne, but also of his family. This is an important volume, of which you can find previews on the site of Rizzoli-Lizard and I had spoken here last September when the news was published in Italian newspapers.
Each half is useful not to forget what has happened: the comic has done so many times but each new publication will not be enough to combat revisionism is spreading. The latter acts in a subtle, for example by passing all the same to the dead who fought against fascism and those who have defended. Or named a street or a square to a character who has sided with fascism. Or eliminating the resistance from school books. So it is important that books are published like this, and they are mostly given away to kids: I see that tells the tragic story of Anne, a girl, through a comic book worth more than many pages of a subsidiary.

long rifle seen by Corrado Mastantuono

One of the nice things about facebook is that you can easily get in touch with many people. For some, this may be a misfortune, but not for me, being an extrovert. In the last period so I am gone in search of the designers / authors of comics I love, to share with them some impression or opinion on the comics by them (or others) made. Another interesting aspect is that, often, they attach to their profile drawings that maybe would not find so easily.
A designer whose work I greatly appreciate, especially the physicality that gives the characters it portrays, is Corrado Mastantuono . Personally I found his stroke reading Magic Wind, which has produced some of the stories and all the covers from number 76. Recently then gave an intense interpretation of Tex (not forgetting the Texone 2007 and another good story, Missouri, 2009) in the story published in November and December 2010, I Giustizieri Vegas: A Tex gaze so piercing that it was time I did not see ....

Tex No 601, The executioners Vegas

Obviously, his biography is much more extensive work: starting from "eternity" with the Comic Art to Disney , by Sergio Bonelli to Les Humanoids Associes, Corrado is one of its most dynamic and eclectic contemporary comics.
A nice surprise was to find his profile on facebook a drawing of the beloved Ken Parker (reported above). I wrote him asking for the source and the reason (hoping maybe in a more pleasant surprise ....) and the response was that the design was born about a year ago without any particular reason, but only by that Corrado for the character of the couple Berardi / Milazzo since its inception. He added that he thinks difficult for us will fulfill his destiny in an editorial following the saga, but I hope so much that is wrong and in the case, judging by the splendid evidence also shows that Ken, I think the staff very well Corrado figurerebbe Design On the gun.
Leaving aside for a moment the hopes , I want to conclude this post enclosing different covers of Magic Wind created by Corrado Mastantuono. Are the most beautiful, in my opinion, although it was very difficult to select some over others. Magic Wind I'm missing because I will not see on the newsstands more soar among the Bonelli books covers so intense: the bodies are so designed by Corrado live that you seem to feel the blood pulsing in his veins.

Talking

At Christmas time we had used well. I mean, the public debate, thanks to the referendum Mirafiori, was raised from the usual junk that we have unfortunately become accustomed, or tits and ass for the use of our Prime Minister. After the vote of the workers, however, everything is back as before the papers start with the news about the disgusting despicable bourgeois who governs us. And not just the newspapers of our house:

This cartoon, entitled Favola Italian of Joep Bertrams, Dutch satirical cartoonist, has appeared in the newspaper on January 18 in Amsterdam Het Parool newspaper fondato durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale come voce della Resistenza. Uno dei due fondatori, Jaap Nunes Vaz, venne arrestato dalla Gestapo e morì ad Auschwitz.

Mi pare che il disegno dell'olandese renda meglio di tante parole lo squallore che ci circonda. Per questo, per non rattristarmi continuando a domandarmi quando finirà questa grama storia senza ottenere alcuna risposta, mi consolo tornando ai temi "natalizi" di cui sopra, ascoltando uno che, al di là di pensarla come lui o meno, ha il pregio di parlare chiaro e di argomenti di cui vale la pena dibattere.

clear all started with a wrong number ... KP

"The idea was to make an adaptation of a very, very true but was also a graphic novel and a comic book that was worth doing and worth reading. The reader who reads both the novel , is the comic strip, which will be more fun ... "

Paul Karasik

cover of the sketchbook of City of Glass

And I am even more amused because, in addition to the novel and the City of Glass comic , I also read the original script complete with graphic layout of the same Paul Karasik. It was a long time that I intended to practice this way: at home I had the comic and the sketchbook containing the screenplay of the same, the latter a gift from my friend Andrea , which contributed directly to achieving the combination Vastagamma of Pordenone (in part) and Thesis. All within the context of the exhibition of cartoons City of Glass, which contained original drawings of the comic, and that was always drawn by Vastagamma in March 2009 within Dedication , Pordenone festival focuses each year on a personalities from the world culture but that year saw starring Paul Auster.
So a few days ago I bought New York Trilogy, of which City of Glass is the first novel, and I started reading. As the pages of the book progressed I wondered how the couple Paul Karasik and David Mazzucchelli they could create a comic book from a novel like that. The theme of the book in fact is the identity, or rather the impossibility to define a precise, its emptiness, its loss, and language, how language can define its identity. The protagonist, the mystery writer Daniel Quinn, who becomes detective in a very casual, does a physical journey through the streets of New York alongside his inner journey, which will lead to the loss of oneself, one's own identity.

It 's a novel full of abstract ideas, are difficult to reproduce in a visual way, I told myself while I read it. Apart from the streets of the Big Apple, he traveled far and wide by the protagonist and his father Peter Stillman, there are few elements to make it in a comic book. And here I make a big mistake ... I gave little confidence to the medium that so fascinates me, the ability to create the script Karasik and Mazzucchelli to make those drawings, from a story so cerebral. In fact, the realization
This graphic novel was a challenge, commissioned by Art Spiegelman in 1992 just to show how the comics did not have boundaries of expression. The author of Maus was to create a new series of comic books, in which novelists of the "serious" and yes, please provide the original screenplays for experienced designers. Contacted, among others, Paul Auster, who, instead of writing a new history, suggested to adapt comic book City of Glass. So David Mazzucchelli was commissioned to take care of the graphics, but at the difficulties encountered by the designer in making the parties more abstract, he came to the rescue Paul Karasik. The case played an important role, as well as succede nel libro al protagonista Daniel Quinn. Karasik aveva letto il romanzo anni prima e, di sua iniziativa, aveva scritto una sceneggiatura della storia con un layout grafico già ben preciso, una griglia di 3x3 vignette a pagina. Quando venne chiamato da Spiegelman, Karasik tirò fuori dal cassetto quel vecchio bloc notes di appunti e lo fece vedere a Mazzucchelli. Il risultato è il fumetto Città di vetro, che presenta infatti l'intelaiatura grafica della griglia a 9 vignette per pagina, che ovviamente Mazzucchelli si prese la libertà di rielaborare in certi suoi punti, soprattutto quelli in cui sono rappresentate le scene urbane.

A major challenge has been overcome to make drawings in the famous monologue of wild-eyed son Peter Stillman. Karasik the realization in an original and effective, which makes the reader feel the psychic abyss where the young Peter has been lost. What Paul Auster makes only a word and returns for images Karasik: nothing is missing. This, then looking on the sketchbook, it was the first scripted by Karasik sequence which leaves the front pages of the novel is presented in which the protagonist and his engagement as a detective. In the comic, Quinn's description of these pages are rendered graphically showing the writer while reaches the phone across the room, the details tell us much about him, without adding words to the library with its yellow lines in front of the building that turns into a maze and then impression of a fingertip on the same glass from which you can see the building (which becomes the metaphor for the city's maze of their own identity, even after recovery in history), the halo of a painting on the wall that no longer exists but that the passage of Quinn, reappears showing the family photo that contained (a family that no longer exists, since his wife and son were killed, an identity pass).

In general, the balloon is not forget any part of the novel: each is represented by evoking the same emotions and at the same time, enriching the reader than others, given by the see the images reflect so well the text of Auster. Read the comic is an experience both similar and distinct from that of reading the book that you still have the same emotions and thoughts the same, but the language used makes you appreciate and result in a different way.

Lastly, compare to the comic storyboard is another interesting and fun experience, because we understand the work of artist and writer from first draft: see where the end result has remained faithful to the original writing and where it was decided to enhance it or change it, see where the grid has been met and where Mazzucchelli has expanded by including in the cartoons larger structure.
I have to thank my friend Andrea, because without that gift, I would not have been able to enjoy a myriad of ways this masterpiece of literature and comics called City of Glass.
