What Does A Sprained Wrist Look Like




While the Church of Rome is committed to exit the severe contradiction between his anathemas against the alleged 'relativism' ethical ol''edonismo 'of the secular world and the proof that' the evil ', hence the' Bride of Christ 'would be free for God's grace, she is, not accidentally, but structurally, intrinsic, while the right, winning and overflowing in Italy, seeking a reputation as the party of' good 'and dell''amore ', unable to conceal the facts or without justification obvious that unfold as they pass through the corruption and vice, not so incidental and occasional basis, but congenital, the leadership of its power system, for public television by the Princes of its officers, under the pretext of providing information, go to use the traditional means of propaganda and blackmail power over people, putting on the air (in 2010!) broadcasts on the 'miracle' and the 'Devil'. The

miracle! That is, the reward of those who have extraordinary access, and 'faith', obeys or does an act of submission, granted, in the presence of these conditions are met, only certain manner inscrutable, after contact with places of worship, where 'seers', also chosen at random (with the statistical prevalence of belonging to the female gender) assist the epiphany of the goddess and transmit messages to the world its unfathomable, that is, assigned as a unique privilege due to personal acquaintances, private type, with the ghost of some sacred personage.
The number of miracles, among the pilgrims to Lourdes, Fatima, Medjugorje, or between the followers of Padre Pio and other holy figures, multiply over time, subject to strict scrutiny and careful (!) Authorities (!) Church . The fact remains, unexplained - why not objectively defensible - that while many cases of healing 'miracles', they represent only a tiny minority compared to the millions of people, on the nature and history are fierce, without reason and without guilt and redemption: a fact that raises a legitimate doubt about the possibility of conferring status of 'right' to a God who allows this, since he had the power to produce events that escape the logic of nature and history.
Not to mention, then, that benefit from the extraordinary and exceptional miracle is ruled out from the rest of humanity: not only the 'non Christian', but also the 'Christian' that orbit, however, outside the Church of Rome. The circle, particularistic and self-referential, a historical culture, which originated and developed in certain circumstances of place and time, closes at its self-defense, himself, with absolute limits to the thinking of those in it out of conviction or by inertia, it is recognized or which is the same, the teaching and administration through the undeniable power of his priests, forbidding, as a sin of pride, every sortie over the fence and maintaining it, thus, fixed at the archaic and infantile 's lack of distinction and the confusion between fantasy and reality. The Devil

! That is, the projection into the world of evil and customization fantastic historical and ethical by which the human being is an illusory freedom from the fears and concerns that perturb real life, giving a name and a face of adversity and avoiding weight, discomfort and anxiety that each autonomous choice entails.

If there is no human culture that has remained untouched by this primary mechanism of projection and personification, which is the source of the belief in the devil, and if, therefore, this belief can be recognized as an anthropological universal constant, c 'is one more reason to overcome the narrow and misleading individual horizons of the' culture 'human, to break those' roots' with different 'traditions' and local folk, who are celebrated for years by the instrumental forces of social conservatives, committed to building today, compared with critical thinking, historical and scientific, a new hegemony based on ideology reactionary cultural anthropology and religious identity.

In today's world, in fact, any individual human experience, rather than in the past, multiple identities, and comes in contact with different cultural traditions, within which, therefore, must choose without any nostalgic attitudes, what is true and can still be good for us and what is, instead, only the result of mythical thinking and prelogical and must be rejected as an error and an unacceptable survival of ancient times.

The Church of Rome, and television (which in Italy is one of its bodies) under the pretext of a call to the public for the overwhelming Catholic majority, reject superstitions, magic, astrology (which still belong to the oldest traditions and, in some respects, as famous), often keeping a lenient towards them and made several nods to their self-styled experts and scholars, for entirely practical reasons. But while, even after several cases of fraud by television from their pulpits voices are being raised more and more criticism of quackery is still widespread in modern societies, with a candor and a seriousness which does not allow and it shows, indeed, aggressive toward skeptics declared, are the miracles and the devil as irrefutable evidence of the reality and the 'Exorcist' as occupational therapists, acting according to the will of God serve a social function. Of course the Devil is represented as a superhuman character that causes harm, but is, however, always subject to God and, therefore, that the Church will retain control over the visible world and that, for his very special powers, extends , in part, on the invisible realm.

media debates on this occasion, there is careful not to ask the fundamental question of what, in substance, the specific item that should mark the distinction between superstitious beliefs (false) and religious beliefs (presumed to be true). And this problem is circumvented by many anthropologists from our own, which, in principle refrain from value judgments, in fact, end up with their descriptions credited to 'participate' the most trite and coarse beliefs, magical-religious, popular, helping to maintain a past life, which would be good to urgently turn their backs.

With some remarkable exceptions, of course, like that of Alfonso Di Nola, the Neapolitan scholar of religion who died about a decade ago, author of a book on 'The Devil' (1987). In it he shows that among the beliefs and magical practices and beliefs and practices of exorcism and blessing ('exorcism' literally means 'beg'), in the cultural Catholic, there is a boundary 'uncertain', and non-existent. Nolan for the historian, anthropologist, social scientist can not escape, in the name of an equivocal neutrality, the ethical duty of 'demystification' of the complaint and " thin plot of disintegration of the civil consciousness and awareness of history and reality, which is cleverly hidden under the myth . Especially in times of reaction, such as that in which we live, where "the dynamics of power and have to resort to the demonization and marginalization of the areas of human disturbing." In these cases the devil ceases to be a child of the delusion of individuals who suffer from a lack of existence and becomes the vehicle of ideological violence "by unscrupulous forces, who aspire to affirm or reaffirm its domination over the rest of society by all means, first and foremost that of a Machiavellian and demonic ' imposture'.
