(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 27 - "The outcome of the vote in the Senate on the bill confirms what has been stressed several times: the need for an open and non-prejudicial dialogue, in which the voice of Italian Catholics can also contribute to building a more just society and supportive ".
Thus Cardinal GualtieroBassetti, President of the CEI, comments on the halt in the Senate Hall on the text of the Zan bill on violence and discrimination for reasons of sexual orientation or gender identity.
"The vote of the Senate - comments Card. Bassetti - offers further consideration in the name of the very concept of democracy: a law that intends to combat discrimination cannot and must not pursue the objective with intolerance. Between the approval of a ambiguous legislation and the possibility of direct reflection on a frank confrontation, the Church will always be at the side of dialogue and the construction of a right that guarantees every citizen in the objective of mutual respect ".
