The 60 year old American Daniel DiNardo, archbishop of Galveston-Houston, was created cardinal by Pope Benedict directly XVI November 24, 2007. Before him, never leading the Texas diocese had been granted the privilege of the red hat. A sign of the esteem that the Pope has for the cardinal. DiNardo, in fact, represents a model similar to pastor As the Pope wants the bishops of his church, a bishop can capture those far to Catholicism and those who have lost faith in the street. Since he is in Galveston-Houston, the number of practicing Catholics has skyrocketed, and it is not indifferent to those who, like Pope Ratzinger, clearly includes the dynamics of American religious market. DiNardo is also a bishop who, in the wake many of his fellow Americans, strongly defends the voice of the church in the public arena. Sure, it's the American model of secularism positive to benefit you in this exercise. But it is also he who moves back into play when there are moral principles and values \u200b\u200bon which no such retrocedere.Un DiNardo gave it last Sunday at the annual meeting in Washington called the red mass. It 's the Catholic Mass that some of the American purple (red cap, hence the "red mass ") to celebrate the country's lawyers to mo 'inauguration of the judicial year. On Sunday, the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, DiNardo gave a long sermon, words pregnant with meaning because four days passed before the Supreme Court opened the trial in the case of Salazar v. Good exposure on the constitutionality of the Cross Catholic in the Mojave National Reserve. DiNardo has given the line of what, for the hierarchy of the church, the work of those working in the legal field should not ignore. To listen to the cream of the country. Supreme Court were Sonia Sotomayor, John Roberts Jr., Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Samuel Alito (all Catholic) and Stephen Breyer (Jewish religion). With them, along with many other professionals including judges and lawyers, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary for Home Affairs Ken Salazar, the Secretary of the Department of Transportation Ray LaHood and chairman of the Republican National Committee and outside the cathedral Michael Steele.Sarà c 'were different expressions of prolife activists, ethical issues that will always heat up the passions of Americans (now the Osservatore Romano cites a poll by the Pew Forum that the U.S. reduces the number of abortions), the fact is that DiNardo did not disappoint expectations by asking, first of all, that judges and lawyers in their work take account the rights of all their customers, even "those who because of abortion could not come to light." These are the "customers without a voice" that the cardinal has asked not to be forgotten. And again he asked: "How dare receive Communion with the blood of unborn babies in your hands?". So the reference to the enhancement of faith and the demands of believers in public life. A reminder - the other day - somehow endorsed by the court during the trial Salazar v. Good. Justice Scalia spoke in favor of the cross as California may represent the dead of all religions. The cross was placed in the park California in 1934 for a perpetual memory of the fallen of the First World War. Frank Buono, a superintendent of the park, has sought the removal because it undermines the First Amendment to the Constitution, one dedicated to freedom of religion, press and speech. Salazar's lawyers argue the opposite, and the day before yesterday, he also argued Scalia. It 's still early to say how it will end, but in the U.S. than elsewhere is that instances of the church may not remain unheard. (PaoloRodari-ilFoglio)
