The trial of the two spouses of Grass, accused of having cut off a family with unusual cruelty of neighbors including a small child's throat cut with a knife a few years, is fed to the national media and this is a scandal Italian justice.
However, as it is spoken, some ideas from this incident I took them to make a reflection.
I was struck by the defense lawyer's harangue, not so much for showing off a bit 'pompous baroque eloquence and rhetoric farcical, fairly common in criminal law in general, but for the basic thesis that this content: assuming that the accused are guilty and must prove it and obviously, if they had committed such a crime could not be considered sane, and therefore would be entitled to the mitigating circumstances provided by law.
The reasoning is misleading, bordering on insanity, so the reason it is distorted. The cause is an incorrect view of human nature, the error is anthropological and I want to prove. The lawyer
forget that in humans there is also evil. The evil is not a mental disorder, but a spiritual disease. Not relate to the physical, but metaphysical.
then the error is: who still wants to deny, foolishly, the existence of a spiritual component in humans, recognized since ancient times and questioned by the West only recently Christophobia, empty and materialistic, continues to give credence to those theories that would be traced back to chemical mechanisms or genetic predisposition that is fruit of free will. Percu multiply debates and research on genes that cause infidelity, a tendency to steal, lie, to attack, to kill and so on, and consequently tend to attribute to un'incolpevole psychophysical condition altered, or invalid, all deviant behavior.
Not so. The Greeks distinguished between body and soul, the Jews introduced the category of the Spirit coming to the tripartite Meat / Mind / Spirit and Aristotle, in the fourth century BC described the man as "a synolon of body and spirit," where "synolon" he meant an inseparable unity.
Christian thought perfected this idea, insisting that the unity between body and spirit is no confusion or overlap.
But back to evil, it is a free expression of man who can not make use of right reason, that should incline to the good, the evil is a misuse of reason and a total detachment from the principle of love is life, and that gave us life.
bad behavior is therefore a voluntary removal by love and reason, that is from God then it is a sin, a view Christian, for that very reason. In optical
secular, however, is conduct contrary to the principles of justice, goodness and truth, from which arise for genesis live the concepts of liberty, equality and fraternity on which it is based on mutual respect, which is taken from the foundation of the criminal codes summarized by the Latin maxim neminem INFRINGE.
Ergo, bad behavior is almost always a crime, and you can deliberately commit even in the midst of the mental faculties, without any mental disturbance.
What will determine the process do not know, I care for justice. But I hope to follow the course of the truth. For this reason I hope that none of the actors, lawyers and judges, due to the presence of the media or ideological vision distorted human, become accomplices of lying conceit or other ignoble motives.
