Various openings



Monsignor Ravasi opens to the atheists.

Vatican City --- The president of the Pontifical Commission for the Cultural Heritage of the Church, Msgr. Gianfranco Ravasi, does not exclude that also some atheists will participate in the plenary assemblies of his ministry: "Having one or more interlocutors that see and interpret the world from the alternative point of view becomes almost, in some sense, essential" (Corriere della Sera, 10-03-2008, p.20).

Meanwhile, soccer coach Roberto Donadoni announced that he will call a few lame players to play in the Italian National Soccer Team: "Having in your team one or more lame players that see and interpret the game from the losers' point of view becomes almost, in some sense, essential for understanding modern soccer."
