Tomorrow evening, the bishop of Aversa Angelo Spinilloaccepting the invitation of the mayors of CasapesennaOf Saint Cyprian And Casal di Principe will march alongside the citizens and with all priests of Forania to strengthen the hope of a world without violence particularly questioned by the latest episodes that occurred between Casal di Principe and San Cipriano D’Aversa and yesterday by double murder of Cesa’s two brotherseven if of a different origin from the Camorra gang that is upsetting the territory of the diocese.
The climate of tension grows hour by hour and so does the concern of the citizens who do not hide by speaking openly with the parish priests of the various churches that they feel less safe. For Spinillo it’s time to unite and relaunching his heartfelt appeal to all the faithful, he asks everyone to be present because «the torchlight procession – he says – represents a new important signal».
Don Angelo, what happened to Cesa’s two brothers generates even stronger alarm. Are you worried?
«I heard some dead young people between Succivo and Orta di Atella e I’m worried. What is happening brings back the specter of terror that was experienced in our lands in times that we hoped would never return. What happened bears the sign of the terrible possibility of a return of that arrogance which, never definitively tamed, always tries to make its threatening growl heard.”
How to react, then?
«Even more than yesterday, today we must show unity in feeling like a people who want to walk together towards progress authentic civilization And democracy. We must increasingly present a common front in the fight against every form of malfeasance, come on dealing of drug at the corruption, from extortion to usury».
Are you referring, in particular, to Casal di Principe and San Cipriano d’Aversa, both shaken by the three Camorra raids?
“Yes is as happened already in 1991 when the priests of the same pastoral area with Don Peppino Diana they wanted to speak to the Christian and civil community of the area, with the document “For the Love of my people” even today we perhaps feel the need to say forcefully that we are worried. For the lack of consideration of values such as honesty, justice, truth and for the limited possibility of truly decent work for young people.”
In the document For the Love of My People, in ’91 there was a direct appeal to the institutions and the different parts of society. Do you think it is necessary to do the same today?
«We are very interested in it express our dissent to those who would like to return to imposing an overbearing dominion over the city but we would never want to shout at someone an angry rejection of their presence, rather offer them a heartfelt invitation to change their lifestyle. As Christians and pastors of Church of Christin dialogue with civil institutions, we want to urge the attention and sensitivity of all citizens so that we do not fall back into dramatic errorsin the sins that in recent decades have bloodied and polluted this wonderful land of ours.”
Yet many steps towards redemption have been made. It is unthinkable that we could lose the progress made up to this moment. The company has already partially responded.
«Of course, and the march must be the sign of our citizens’ clear adherence to the value of humanity, civilization, justice, social peace in which everyone’s life can truly grow. This is why we feel we want to share with everyone the words that the Holy Father Francis addressed to our community last March 19, 2024, encouraging us to patiently cultivate the seed of justice and the dream of human and social development for your land.”
