Appello ai Cardinali di Santa Romana Chiesa. Errore del papa sulla pena di morte

Il sito statunitense “LifeSiteNews” promuove un appello, ripreso da numerosi siti cattolici, firmato da numerose personalità del mondo accademico, religioso e culturale, rivolto ai cardinali della Chiesa romana perché consiglino il Pontefice regnante di ritirare dal Catechismo la variazione aggiunta qualche giorno fa in tema di pena capitale. Anche noi lo riproponiamo ai nostri lettori insieme alla lista dei primi firmatari, tra cui la mia.

Nota: gli studiosi, sacerdoti e laici, che desiderino firmare l'Appello possono presentare il loro nome e le credenziali a questo indirizzo email: [email protected]. Una volta verificati, i nomi verranno aggiunti all'elenco dei firmatari.

Papa Francesco ha modificato il Catechismo della Chiesa cattolica nel senso che «la pena di morte è inammissibile perché attenta all'inviolabilità e alla dignità della persona ». Questa affermazione è stata compresa da molti, sia dentro che fuori la Chiesa, come un insegnamento che la pena capitale è intrinsecamente immorale e quindi è sempre illecita, anche in linea di principio.

Sebbene nessun cattolico in pratica sia obbligato a sostenere l'uso della pena di morte (e non tutti i sottoscrittori la sostengono), insegnare che la pena capitale è sempre un male intrinseco contraddirebbe la Scrittura. Che la pena di morte possa essere un mezzo legittimo per assicurare la giustizia retributiva è affermato in Genesi 9: 6 e in molti altri testi biblici, e la Chiesa sostiene che la Scrittura non può insegnare l'errore morale. La legittimità in linea di principio della pena capitale è anche insegnamento coerente del magistero per due millenni. Contrastare la Scrittura e la tradizione su questo punto metterebbe in dubbio la credibilità del magistero in generale.

Preoccupati per questa grave e scandalosa situazione, desideriamo esercitare il diritto affermato dal Codice di diritto canonico della Chiesa, che al canone 212 afferma:

§2. I fedeli hanno il diritto di manifestare ai Pastori della Chiesa le proprie necessità, soprattutto spirituali, e i propri desideri. §3. In modo proporzionato alla scienza, alla competenza e al prestigio di cui godono, essi hanno il diritto, e anzi talvolta anche il dovere, di manifestare ai sacri Pastori il loro pensiero su ciò che riguarda il bene della Chiesa; e di renderlo noto agli altri fedeli, salva restando l'integrità della fede e dei costumi e il rispetto verso i Pastori, tenendo inoltre presente l'utilità comune e la dignità della persona.

Siamo guidati anche dall'insegnamento di San Tommaso d'Aquino, che afferma:

"Quando ci fosse un pericolo per la fede, i sudditi sarebbero tenuti a rimproverare i loro prelati anche pubblicamente" e, citando Agostino (Glossa ordinaria su Galati, 2, 11), prosegue: "Pietro stesso diede l'esempio ai superiori di non sdegnare di essere corretti dai sudditi, quando capitasse loro di allontanarsi dalla retta via". ( Summa Theologiae, Parte II-II, Domanda 33, Articolo 4, ad 2)

Pertanto il sottoscritto formula il seguente appello:

Alle reverendissime eminenze, i cardinali della santa Chiesa romana. Dal momento che è una verità contenuta nella parola di Dio, e insegnata dal magistero ordinario e universale della Chiesa cattolica che i criminali possono legittimamente essere messi a morte dal potere civile quando ciò sia necessario per preservare il giusto ordine nella società civile, e dal momento che il presente pontefice romano ha più di una volta manifestato il suo rifiuto di insegnare questa dottrina, e ha invece portato una grande confusione nella Chiesa sembrando contraddirlo, inserendo nel Catechismo della Chiesa Cattolica un paragrafo che farà sì, e già sta facendo sì che molte persone, sia credenti che non credenti, suppongano che la Chiesa consideri, contrariamente alla parola di Dio, che la pena capitale è intrinsecamente malvagia, noi facciamo appello alle Vostre Eminenze affinché consiglino Sua Santità che è suo dovere porre fine a questo scandalo, e ritirare questo paragrafo dal Catechismo, e insegnare la parola di Dio senza adulterazioni; e osiamo dichiarare la nostra convinzione che questo è un dovere che Vi impegna seriamente, di fronte a Dio e di fronte alla Chiesa.

Annual Meeting

At ABA JusticeHack Chicago, community policing collaboration talks through potential tech solutions

By Stephen Rynkiewicz

An app is unlikely to solve complex trust issues in community policing, and hackathons have their own challenges simply in turning good ideas into workable prototypes. Getting a finished tech product in the hands of wary citizens would be a tall order. But Saturday’s daylong JusticeHack during the ABA Annual Meeting in Chicago pointed at a winning approach to this dilemma.

The ABA Coalition on Racial and Ethnic Justice brought Chicago police officers, lawyers and community members together at the John Marshall Law School to talk through the issues and present solutions to a panel of judges—without the frantic coding of a sleepless weekend hackathon.

The winning ABA JusticeHack Chicago team proposed an app to encourage and assist children in avoiding gangs on their walk to school. The prize was a modest $550, and the day’s work was not designed to produce a working design. But even though JusticeHack involved more yakking than hacking, the involvement of many stakeholders make the Safe Passage app an idea more likely to get further consideration.

“Everything in the world starts with an idea,” said CPD Sgt. Carl Hattula, who sat on the six-person judging panel. Hattula asked participants to tell fellow professionals they found the approach worthwhile.

A grant this year from the American Arbitration Association brings COREJ closer to delivering results from its five JusticeHack events and forging connections between the legal community and the public.

“What we would like to do is develop a framework of local-based resources that have a commitment to creating prototypes and potential pilots with local law enforcement,” said Leigh-Ann Buchanan, chair of the ABA’s Coalition on Racial & Ethnic Justice and founding executive director of Venture Café Miami, a weekly business event series. The 70 participants drew from the Chicago citizen, criminal justice and law communities, Buchanan said. Two JusticeHack events were conducted in Miami, and others in New York City and Durham, North Carolina.

“This type of program should be instructive to the ABA about how it can continue to be more relevant in a changing environment in the legal landscape, not only within the practice of law but the way that lawyers interact with community,” Buchanan said. “I’m encouraged through the time I’ve been involved as chair and as a member has continued to push the boundaries of how we achieve racial and justice through incremental gains using disruptive practices and innovative solutions.”

Five self-selected teams organized around specific aspects of community policing and proposed how an app could address them. Each team split into groups that identified technology, marketing and compliance issues, then collaborated on a slideshow to present their refined concept. Organizers assigned to the teams kept the short schedule on track. “Electronic systems can keep justice systems more honest,” said retired judge Arthur L. Burnett Sr., one of the volunteers. “The ABA can support use of technology that can be an equalizer.”

Judges responded to the focus and viability of the winning presentation from Brian Barnes, Carmichael Lewis, Bridget Mitchell, June Norfleet and Kevin Rose. Second- and third-place teams also were awarded money prizes for their concepts: Aware, a wearable device for people whose health or language issues put them at risk in police interactions, and the Exchange, an online community with police participation. The ideal solution would be intuitive, innovative, impactful and collaborative.

“The more you know, the more sensitivity you can bring to a confrontation,” said Ketura Baptiste, a lawyer and manager of the Kankakee, Illinois, office of Prairie State Legal Services, who was on the team for Aware—an acronym for Accessible, Wearable, Active Real-time Expression. The team had to grapple with the complications of producing their device—what technology could alert police from a distance, who would input user data, and the consent and privacy issues that would follow.

“We’re getting people to talk,” said Rachel Patrick, retired COREJ staff director and a volunteer team captain. “We need to spend more time looking at the solutions than the problems.”

Melvin Flowers, Accenture’s North American legal lead for transactions and contracting, noted as a judge that the most diverse and inclusive teams produced the most robust solutions. Other judges were Emily Drevets, software engineer and co-organizer of Chi Hack Night; Terrence Neumann, data scientist with UChicago Urban Labs; Evelyn Padin, president-elect of the New Jersey State Bar, and Thomas H. Prol, a partner in the Sparta, New Jersey-based law firm of Laddey, Clark & Ryan.

“I thought it was a really interesting exercise trying to use everyday ordinary people to solve serious, critical issues of how communities of color are engaging or being engaged by their local police,” Flowers said. “One of the common things we saw identified in projects today is lack of communication. The real problem is, how do we re-establish relationships, humanize the process of policing and humanize the people who are being policed as well?”
