The anxiety of the Catholic Pd: “On the adoption of gay couples we risk being radical and unrealistic”

Concern for Schlein’s gender line is growing within the components of democratic Catholicism. “The secretary protect all sensitivities. No to forcing”. Bazoli, Borghi, Furlan and Lepri speak

They are hesitant, foretelling a dangerous shift to the left. The Catholics of the Democratic Party look at the bill filed by Alessandro Zan to allow the registration of the children of gay couples and are at least a little worried. As the senator confesses to Il Foglio Alfredo Bazoli “it is right and proper to find solutions in the interests of children. But taking into account mandatory principles, such as the defense of women’s dignity. For us, surrogacy remains an insurmountable limit”. While according to the colleague Enrico Borgo, “we cannot be guided by gut reactions. Doing only symbolic battles would see us betray our reformist traits”. Also because the risk is that the result will be a new edition of the Zan law, “an unrealistic solution made to pursue radicalism”, he says Stefano Leprideputy for two legislatures who represents the current of former minister Graziano Delrio in the national direction.
