“I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out” (Luke 19:40)
The party Italians just elected into power is represented by a woman named Giorgia Meloni. An unlikely spokesperson for family values shared by the Catholics who predominate in her native land, she started out as a single mother and, though an advocate for marriage, is not herself married.
- Meloni describes herself as Christian and lives with her daughter Ginevra and “partner” (sic) Andrea Giambruno.
The religious faith from which she speaks is shared by most Christians, who realize the purpose of faith is to change ourselves who believe and not that which we, who in fact may not believe, attempt to change to suit ourselves.
She supports faith, family, life, creation of male and female from conception. And she represents well a conviction that, in order to be in support of these things, one must fight against that which would destroy them. It is for this reason she is hated and maligned as a “fascist” by the many who in the ignorance and darkness of their minds embrace sin and demand that others do the same by approving and supporting it.
The Washington Post, “Bible” of the LGBTQ+ political lobby, describes her and her kind as “illiberal” and “fascist” for their opposition to the destruction of marriage, family, life and the human person created as male and female by God.
“Meloni will be Italy’s first female prime minister. By coincidence, she will probably take office on the centenary of the March on Rome, the coup that brought Benito Mussolini to power in October 1922. So what does it mean that an ex-fascist woman will be in charge of one of Europe’s biggest countries?
“Meloni argues that she isn’t a fascist anymore.
“Meloni argues that her party has turned away from fascism, as she has. However, many Europeans fear that the right’s victory will lead to the ‘Orbanization’ of Italy and its transformation into an illiberal democracy, much like Hungary’s recent path.”
Interesting that the Post starts with the unproven accusation that Meloni is guilty of the unproven accusation she is “fascist” to begin with, whatever that means to the Post and its readers, but being uselessly vague and sinister enough to signify “bad” and socially unacceptable. Which is the purpose of the article.
The following comments are from Giorgia Meloni’s keynote address to the International Organization for the Family’s World Congress of Families XIII conference in Verona, Italy, March 2019:
“I believe that the state should incentivize the natural family based on marriage.”
“I believe in a society where every choice has consequences, and you accept responsibility for them. I reject a society where every desire becomes a right, every whim becomes a right, where I have no responsibilities, I have only rights. I reject it. It’s wrong.”
