Despite strong protests, local Caritas office sponsors Emma Bonino to speak on immigration with the approval of the parish priest while the local bishop chooses to remain silent.
In the face of strong opposition, one of Italy’s most notorious pro-abortionists spoke in a Catholic church on Wednesday while pro-life Catholics were locked out, silenced or ejected.
Emma Bonino addressed the issue of immigration at the July 26 event, on the feast of St. Anne and St. Joachim, at the church of San Defendente in San Rocco di Cossato in the diocese of Biella, northern Italy (see video here).
The church had been made available to her by the parish priest, Father Mario Marchiori, despite many protests by Catholics and a sit-in aimed at blocking the meeting. The event was sponsored by a local branch of Caritas Italiana, the Church’s aid and humanitarian organization.
Bonino, who supports an open-door policy for migrants, used her talk to promote the overturning of 2002 legislation that tightened Italy’s immigration laws. More than 500,000 migrants have entered Italy in the past three years, putting strain on local services and leading to heated disputes about how many refugees the country should accept.
An Italian radical leftist and human rights activist, Bonino served as Italy’s Foreign Affairs minister from 2013 to 2014. She had an illegal abortion at the age of 27 and then worked with the Information Centre on Sterilization and Abortion which boasted of performing over 10,000 abortions carried out using a homemade device operated by a bicycle pump.
Along with the late Radical Party member Marco Pannella, Bonino has long campaigned for civil rights and individual liberty, and fought for the legalisation of abortion and drugs as well as sexual and religious freedoms.

It’s time for catholics to find a new denomination.
I’d like to say the cathoic church was good while it lasted. But it isn’t and it never has been good.
I don’t even consider the catholic hierarchy to be Christians. They love their money and power, not Christ.
She’s an actual abortionist.
And one of Bergoglio’s heroes.
The situation we’re in has been predicted by many seers, and is described in Scripture.
Evil men hijack the external structures and the actual believers are driven out.
The spiritually blind will be judged by the very fact they are unable to see that Bergoglio and his cronies are pro-abortion sodomites. The Catholics who have been voting pro-abortion for 45 years. The pro-abortion bishops and Cardinals like Bernardin, Dolan, O’Malley, Cupich, Bad Tobin, McElroy, Wuerl, etc. All the pro-abortion politicians will stick with Bergoglio’s fake Catholic Church.
Believing Catholics will find the Catholic Church hidden away. I don’t think the day is far off when Bergoglio will cause an open, visible schism. Catholics will leave the non-Christian, non-theist organization occupying the Vatican.
And, it is ALL His.
The objective Truth of Her one, holy, catholic, and apostolic existence is non-negotiable, and She has performed many admirable, holy functions over the centuries ... despite some of Her less than stellar members over the years.
A counter-revolution will come to restore His Church that He founded on earth--as both fully man and fully God-- with the actual structure and offices that He instituted.
The current whack job individuals, especially in the primary Roman church, will be removed.
We, as humans, feel that 50 years or so is an eternity ... but compared to the age of the Church .....
.. a mere blip ...
In Christo rege!
Radical leftists know nothing about civil rights or individual liberty.
Just think - if all the bishops and priests and lay people couldn’t destroy the Church over the last 2,000 years - what makes any of these yahoos think that they can do it?
What I see with the current Catholic Church under the rule of Jorge Bergoglio makes me very disgusted. Where can I turn in my Baptism?
The Roman Catholic Church is not a denomination. It *is* the Church.
Denominations are the Christian based offspring of protesters of the Church, who were in schism from the Church. Denominations are the gazillion sorts out of the Anglican and Lutheran schism.
Protestants claim baptism as a ticket to “membership”, or as necessary for “joining” a Protestant church. Some people are baptized two or three times as they bounce around seeking a more satisfactory pew somewhere.
“My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” Psalms 120:2
“Strengthened with all might, according to the power of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy, Giving thanks to God the Father, who hath made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love” (Col 1:11-13)
Bergoglio is the scismatic presiding in the Seat of Peter.
The believing Roman Catholic will surely be praying the TLM will exist here and there, in the West.
I just read a title, in Life Site, that there are now “rumblings” that the bishop of Rome is considering doing away with the Extraordinary Mass.
We'll both find out some day soon. I feel really secure after many many years of study into this that I'm right.
You simply cling (bitterly, if you like) to the Catholic Faith, no matter what the “Pope” says or does.
And keep looking for the hidden Catholic Church.
This time has not quite arrived. But it will.
In order to hold that the Catholic Church is fake, you have to shut your eyes and stop up your ears to the lives of the saints. Holy men and women who have founded hospitals, monasteries, etc. And cured the deaf and blind, and raised the dead. In every century.
Those who choose to reject the Catholic Church have to choose to remain unaware of the lives of the saints.
Why are catholics still praying to the virgin and confessing to priests? You should maybe look into that as Jesus himself said it's idolatry and said confess your sins to no one but God In private and call no man “father” but God in heaven. Yet catholics still go around calling their priests “father”? That's just to name a couple things where the catholic church is completely wrong scripturally.
Do you deny that your church is controlled by homosexuals and pedophiles? Because I think that's been made plainly apparent in the last couple of decades.
The catholic church is nothing more than power and control over people and their money. People who are raised in it have no idea they're being duped because they have never really studied into it, but all the proof is there for anyone who is curious enough to look into it's history with an understanding of the New Testament. I've been studying into this for 40 yrs or so.
This is the last reply from me on this thread. I think I've made myself clear and don't wish to carry on an argument about it here.
Jesus said to PRAY in private. He wasn’t talking at that time about confessing sins.
Jesus said to the apostles: “Receive the Holy spirit. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them. Whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.”
These words of Jesus are absolute nonsense if people are not going to be confessing their sins to the apostles?. How can the apostles possibly forgive sins or retain sins IF THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE?
It is preposterous to believe that this function of forgiving sins was intended by Jesus to die with the apostles. If it died with the apostles, it would be irrational for St. John to even mention it.
So, you have just directly contradicted the words of Jesus.
Catholic is not a denomination it is a designation. And as for :being goo d while it lasted, It is the church that Jesus founded and He said, “ the gates of hell will not prevail against it. “ He didn’t say the Devil wouldn’t try
“The gates of hell shall not prevail against it”
The Fraternal Society Of Saint Peter(FSSP) was commissioned by Saint John Paul II in 1988. They are priests who left the SppX group. They say the Tridentine Mass. No jokes no nonsense about global warming or inclusion. They are all over. fssp.org
