Our Holy Father Xenophon, His Wife Mary and Their Sons Arcadius and John




rca

Our Holy Father Xenophon, his wife Mary and their sons Arcadius and John (6th c.)

Xenophon was a wealthy senator in Constantinople during the reign of Justinian. He and his wife Mary had two sons, Arcadius and John, to whom they gave every advantage of education. When they were of age, Xenophon sent them both to study law in Berytus (Beirut). But the ship on which they set out was wrecked in a storm, and the two brothers were cast ashore, alive but separated, neither knowing whether the other had survived.   Both brothers gave thanks to God for their salvation and, newly conscious of the vanity of earthly things, both became monks: John in Tyre and Arcadius in Jerusalem. Two years later, having heard no news from his sons, Xenophon made inquiries and found that they had never arrived at Beirut, and that they had seemingly perished in a shipwreck. Giving thanks to God, who gives and takes away, both Xenophon and his wife Mary put on coarse garments and went on pilgrimage to the Holy Land. In Jerusalem, they met the spiritual father of Arcadius, who told them that both their sons were alive and that they would soon see them.   By God's providence, John and Arcadius met one another at Golgotha and, joyfully reunited, spent some time serving Arcadius' holy Elder. Two days later Xenophon and Mary, visiting the Elder, spent time with their two sons but did not recognize them until the Elder revealed their identity. The parents wept for joy and decided immediately to take up the monastic life themselves. Giving away their considerable wealth, the two entered monasteries in the Holy Land. Both parents and sons went far in the life of prayer, being granted the power to work miracles and foreknow future events.

Catalogna, Rajoy ha preferito la guerra sporca al dialogo politico

Il premier spagnolo è chiamato a risolvere una crisi che ha creato. E che il suo partito ha gestito con mezzi non sempre convenzionali: dal dossieraggio a una polizia parallela dentro al ministero dell'Interno.




LETTERA43
 
02-10-2017
 
GIOVANNA FAGGIONATO

 
Mariano Rajoy non mollerà nemmeno questa volta. A meno che non lo costringano a farlo i partiti di opposizione, questo testardo galiziano di provincia, alla guida del Partido Popular da 17 anni, al governo di Madrid da sette, tenterà ancora una volta di presentarsi come il bastione della nazione spagnola. Poco importa che il referendum del primo ottobre abbia mostrato il suo fallimento politico a livello internazionale con la stampa a testimoniare le violenze della Guardia Civil – «tristi, ma proporzionate» le ha definite, «siamo un esempio per il mondo» - su cittadini desiderosi solo di votare. Poco importa che la sua politica abbia creato indipendentisti dove non ce n’erano e abbia semplicemente impedito di capire cosa vogliono realmente i cittadini catalani: una mossa controproducente per tutti coloro che desiderano la Spagna unita.

IMPERMEABILE AGLI SCANDALI. Dopo aver guidato il Paese attraverso la crisi, da leader di un partito al centro della maggiore inchiesta di corruzione della storia nazionale e dopo aver accettato di governare di nuovo senza una maggioranza politica, si farà scivolare addosso anche la pessima gestione dell’autoproclamato referendum catalano, quello che, come ha spiegato alle 20 del primo ottobre, «non è mai esistito». Impermeabile a ogni scandalo, a ogni questione di opportunità, proverà, dopo essere sopravvissuto a incidenti stradali e aerei - il primo gli lasciò cicatrici sul volto, nel secondo si ruppe un dito -, a superare anche la crisi catalana. Una crisi che in questi anni però non ha fatto che alimentare con metodi legali e non, in una guerra sporca che è la cosa più lontana dal dialogo politico invocato in questi giorni.
 
Le tensioni odierne, ormai è noto, sono figlie in prima battuta del ricorso alla Corte costituzionale presentato del Partido popular contro il nuovo Statuto negoziato dal governo di Barcellona con l'esecutivo Zapatero, ratificato da un voto parlamentare e approvato attraverso un referendum della popolazione della Catalogna, seppure ancora una volta con un'affluenza minore della metà degli aventi diritto. Da lì in poi la questione catalana si è avvitata su se stessa in un crescendo di radicalizzazione. Ma intanto Rajoy è arrivato al governo e, mentre i giovani spagnoli passavano giorni e notti a Puerta del Sol a protestare contro una classe politica corrotta e contro un'austerity che colpiva gli ultimi, il Partido popular proseguiva la sua guerra con altri mezzi.

MEZZI NON CONVENZIONALI. Jorge Fernández Díaz, fedelissimo di Rajoy, cattolico numerario dell'Opus Dei ma anche catalano tendenzialmente moderato, da ministro degli Interni a partire dal 2012 e almeno fino al 2017 ha messo in piedi una sorta di di polizia parallela formata da alcuni ufficiali di polizia anche giudiziaria. Il gruppo ha condotto indagini per anni al di fuori dei meccanismi dello stato di diritto, coinvolgendo anche personale di agenzie investigative private. L'obiettivo era ottenere informazioni in merito alle indagini sul caso Gurtel: l'inchiesta che ha portato a scoprire i fondi neri del Partido popular coinvolgendone le prime file, Rajoy compreso, e da cui Calle Genova è riuscita ad uscire più o meno in piedi perchè il computer dove avrebbero dovuto esserci le prove dei finanziamenti rivelati dall'ex tesoriere Luis Barcenas era stato formattato. Ma, e forse è anche più grave, la polizia politica di Diaz si occupava soprattutto del dossieraggio dei nemici del centrodestra di governo e in particolare degli indipendentisti.
 
«NIXON S'È DIMESSO PER MOLTO MENO». «Per qualcosa di molto inferiore», ha scritto El Diario, «Nixon si è dimesso». La vicenda è stata prima raccontata sulla stampa e pochissimo al di fuori dei confini nazionali. Poi è diventata un documentario per mano di due giornalisti di Mediapro, la casa editrice del quotidiano online progressista Publico. Ma nel chiuso circuito mediatico spagnolo solo l'emittente catalana e quella basca hanno deciso di trasmetterlo. Ed è facile capirne il motivo.
 
Tra i politici finiti nel mirino della polizia di Diaz figurano il leader di Podemos Pablo Iglesias, Jordi Pujol, presidente del governo di Catalogna dal 1980 al 2003, e anche l'attuale vicepresidente della Generalitat, Oriol Junqueras, leader della formazione della sinistra indipendentista Esquerra Repubblicana: l'uomo che con l'ex presidente Artus Mas ha progettato il referendum del primo ottobre. Per trovare gli scheletri nascosti dei suoi nemici, il ministro degli Interni si appoggiava al capo dell'ufficio antifrode catalano, Daniel de Alfonso. Ma, secondo alcune conversazioni registrate tra i due, Diaz teneva informato anche Rajoy.

LA FABBRICAZIONE DI FALSI DOCUMENTI. Come succede spesso in questi casi, i dossier mescolavano verità - peraltro facili visto che la classe dirigente catalana è stata coinvolta in numerosi casi di corruzione - e bugie. In mancanza di documenti che provassero la corruzione degli oppositori, infatti, i poliziotti agli ordini del capo dell'Interno si sono spinti anche a fabbricarne di falsi. Da qui vengono le fatture fasulle venezuelane che per un po' hanno inquinato il dibattito sul leader di Podemos. E un altro falso documento è stato utilizzato contro l'ex leader catalano Pujol. L'uomo che ha guidato la regione per 30 anni, peraltro invocandone sempre l'autonomia, è tuttavia finito al centro di un'inchiesta per evasione fiscale e ha confessato di avere all'estero, nel principato di Andorra, milioni di euro sconosciuti al Fisco iberico. I bocconi avvelenati o semplicemente a orologeria sono stati preparati soprattutto in vista della consultazione catalana del 2014.

FONDI PUBBLICI PER INDAGINI FRAUDOLENTE. La presenza della polizia parallela è emersa solo nel 2016 e appena il 21 settembre 2017 la commissione di inchiesta parlamentare che se ne è occupata ha approvato con 172 voti a favore - quelli dei socialisti, di Podemos e degli indipendentisti - la sua relazione finale. Come riporta Publico, i deputati hanno certificato che il ministro degli Interni ha utilizzato fondi pubblici e funzionari statali per indagini fraudolente contro gli oppositori politici. Anche i membri di Ciudadanos, che pure si sono astenuti, ne hanno riconosciuto l'esistenza. Ben inteso, questo non toglie niente all'egoismo fiscale, all'integralismo e alla assenza di razionalità delle rivendicazioni indipendentiste. Ma spiega in parte come siamo arrivati fino a qui, e perché è difficile che Rajoy ne tiri la Spagna fuori. E non è una buona notizia.

Jailed Catalan Speaker Forcadell appeals to European court

Carme Forcadell was the speaker of the Catalan parliament until January - but has spent almost nine months in prison.



BBC News

By Niall O'Gallagher

19Decembre2018



The 63-year-old was jailed in March, facing charges of rebellion for her part in the 2017 push for Catalan independence.

She spends 15 hours a day alone in her cell. If convicted, she faces up to 17 years in prison.

Now she is calling on the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to order her release.

In a rare interview at the Mas d'Enric prison, Ms Forcadell told the BBC that life in her 10 square-metre cell was proving difficult.

"Every day is very hard because you know you are innocent but you don't know how many days and nights you'll stay locked up," she said. "I greatly miss my family and those I love."

"It is especially hard for my mother, who is 90 years old and suffers a lot. Also for my husband and my sons – I want to get out soon for them. When they come to see me, I see the suffering reflected in their eyes."

At home in Sabadell, her husband Bernat Pegueroles is also having a hard time.

"It has broken the family, in a way," he said.

"My sons get on with their lives, but they are suffering too because their mother isn't here. We have a one-year-old grandson and she hasn't seen him growing."

"Now he has started walking, and she is excited when we visit – but the lad doesn't recognise her," he said.

Who is Carme Forcadell?

Ms Forcadell was the speaker of the Barcelona parliament when it voted to declare Catalonia an independent republic on 27 October last year, following a disputed vote in the region a few weeks earlier.

She spent a single night in jail that November before being released on bail – but was sent back to prison in March 2018.

Her legal team are filing a petition with the ECHR in Strasbourg, saying Ms Forcadell's pre-trial detention breaches her human rights.

The trial is expected to begin in Spain in the new year.

What is her case?

Spanish prosecutors allege that Ms Forcadell was part of a conspiracy to achieve independence illegally – specifically, that she allowed parliamentary debates on independence to go ahead despite warnings from Spain's Constitutional Court.

Yet Ms Forcadell insists she did nothing wrong.

 

"My role as speaker of the parliament cannot be to censor the debate, if there is a parliamentary majority which has been elected in free and democratic elections and which wants to speak about this subject," she said.

"My duty is to defend the sovereignty of parliament, freedom of expression, political pluralism, and the right of initiative of the deputies."

"In a democratic parliament, the word has to be free. One has to be able to speak about everything. The only limit must be respect for fundamental rights," she said.

Eight other Catalan leaders are in jail awaiting trial in connection with the October 2017 push for independence. They are:

  • Dolors Bassa, former labour minister

  • Jordi Sànchez, former president, Catalan National Assembly

  • Oriol Junqueras, former vice-president

  • Jordi Cuixart, president of Omnium Cultural

  • Jordi Turull, former Catalan government spokesman

  • Josep Rull, former territorial minister

  • Joaquim Forn, former interior minister

  • Raul Romeva, former external relations minister

 

What does Spain say?

Teresa Cunillera, the Spanish government's delegate in Barcelona, denies there are political prisoners in Catalonia.

Instead, she said "there are some politicians who, in exercising their responsibilities, broke the law".

 

"So the courts acted, and as a result they are now in the hands of justice," she said.

Spain's Supreme Court held an initial hearing on Tuesday to decide whether it was competent to hear the trial.

Defence lawyers want the case to be tried by a court in Catalonia, but others have faith in the courts in Madrid.

Inés Arrimadas leads the pro-Spain Citizens party in the Barcelona parliament.

"I wish they hadn't done what they did, but they declared independence," she said.

"They approved a rule which went outside the Spanish constitution, they denied our rights, they silenced us as the opposition in the parliament of Catalonia."

"I think that politicians have to answer before the law like any other citizen."
