What is the message of this cover?
"The message is to emphasize how the presidency of the Italian Bishops' Conference, many bishops from the North and the South, committed religious and laity react to some of the disparaging and aggressive tones used by the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister. of the Interior with regard to the urgency of migrants. They contrast strongly with the Gospel and do not lead to anything good, but rather they arouse constructive prejudices and misunderstandings. "
Why did you decide to make it happen?"

your cover "in bad taste" and stated that "even the catechism says that we must accept as much as possible".
"Vice President Salvini has a rather personal idea of catechism, but also of the Gospel. All, according to the Word of God, we will be judged on the love of neighbor. On the other hand, it is not our responsibility to give lessons of good taste (nor to receive them), but to inform in the truth.
