Italian Cardinal: End Bigotry on Immigrants

By Prensa Latina,

Rome : The president of the Italian Episcopal Conference, Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, called for local authorities to put an end to extremisms against immigrants.

Bagnasco’s declarations for Repubblica daily take place amid a serious crisis resulting from the recent burning of gypsy settlements, mainly Rumanian, in Italy.

The religious leader advocated the creation of better conditions to welcome immigrants, who respect cohabitation laws, and favour a real integration.

The Church is in solidarity with the people that have suffered violent and unjustified actions, the cardinal said, and sustained the Italian society suffers from chronic individualism.
