"Now children: sooner or later, old or young, we will all end up in here"
I came across an article on an Italian newspaper which reported a quite shocking piece of news.
A Catholic priest, Don Gianluca Santini, at the Sunday Mass for children decided to let the little ones reflect over death.
Thus he arranged a coffin in the middle of the church and started to preach the kids.
On the Sunday in which the Gospel spoke about Lazarus he decided to talk about "life" in this peculiar way. He lifted the cover of the coffin and said "there is life in here". And then "Sooner or later, old or young, we will all end up in here".
This indubitably premeditated act of psychological terror perpetrated on children is only partially surprising: the Catholic religion is rife with images of death, guilt and fear inoculated into the innocent mind of the young since birth.
Funereal, obviously twisted, black-gowned individuals are always ready to cast guilt on joy and life while spreading sin alerts, diffidence towards the body and the material world, and images of death everywhere, constantly pursuing their diseased power trips.
I will never understand how parents can allow children to be exposed to all this tribalistic, sick content.
