The president and Blessed
Most people will miss the intemperate remarks of President Alan Garcia still, attributing to John Paul II's death of terrorist Osama Bin Laden. However, with much regret I must admit that the current president and blessed with at least one thing in common: the inability to deal flagella own institutional.
Alan Garcia in 2008 downplayed the scandal of the revelation of petroaudios, and more, almost asked not to investigate them because they would affect governance in the country, which would favor a Humala and et al. But that's not going to be the most obviously wrong: it is ironic that the same year he defeated impunity (2009 to the decision Fujimori) got stuck, but truncated, the opportunity to investigate the worst case of political corruption in this government. Thinking, it might have been the opportunity to purge itself of corrupt elements, but as we know, there was no political will to do so.
John Paul II during his papacy prevented through his nuncio in Ireland research of at least 2 000 allegations of pedophilia committed by priests, the worst scourge gets the Catholic Church. The reason? Blessed today perhaps fearing that this would increase the number of apostates and converts to other branches of Christianity. But it will turn out that this is not the worst of evils (although frankly, there are moves antipederastia with a strong antitheist that have made this just struggle in a win-win) no, not that candidly Wojtyla accepted the apology of some pederast confessed ... The worst evil is that pedophilia is still there, although the percentage is not so high, still field the impunity in spite of good faith they profess and despite many of its victims. So sometimes I wonder, if not Fujimori and Alan was the epitome of impunity, but that old lag Juzgo Charter, which only punishes the cohabitation with change of parish.
this light, the excuse for impunity seems to be the same: to ensure the stability and prestige of an institution, state or church, its leaders invoked as The solution to hide the dirt under the carpet. Nobody in their right mind would believe that delaying the problems solved. No one can not but think that a strong response is the only possible reaction. In both cases, it is unfortunate result: a country torn apart by one hand and wearing the mantle of impunity, on the other.
also feels Republican, I can not help thinking that ultimately, the Vatican is not a monarchy but tamed by the enlightened West, who survived thanks transfusions and Renaissance humanism, and ironically, had a topping on the last century a pilgrim and smiling John Paul, who conveyed an aura of closeness and trust ... But the fact is that this process, the aggiornamiento had begun with His Excellency John XXIII and Paul VI continued (who injected social force and outreach to the poor), but it seems that the Pope who came from the cold has given by buttoned.
Another parallel with Garcia for if some doubt: in 2006 the government had the opportunity to continue the liberal democracy that cost us then introduce the grim dictatorship of Fujimori in the 90's. It began with Valentin Paniagua, who so modestly only took 8 months for the transformation of this country, followed poorly in the Toledo administration, a period so gray that virtually the mere mention memory becomes hazy ... Now there are only two options: either return to the dark decade, or embark on a picture to unknown and dangerous. The democratization process ended when Toledo was elected in all cases, but definitely disappeared with the rise of Alan García.
Know that I write this it's funny. But precisely because it amuses me to know how important institutions do not meet our expectations, and know myself at the same time, secular city, I can not help noticing that the internal ills indifference is the worst scourge of our times. In the case of John Paul I would give him the benefit of the doubt and think that alone and moments before his death, he regretted having missed the opportunity to do justice: after all, no one like him to know the pain and oppression. But perhaps neither the time nor history be so kind to Dr. Garcia. As Hildebrandt said: "has twice won the elections but will end up in the attic of history" .
Well, in addition to much else. For saints, rather entrust to St. Mary McKillop, who should be the icon of our times in the fight against pedophilia. I'm not kidding, read his biography. Geez
