Baturi (CEI): respect and admiration towards women, criticism of the statements of Tajani and Vannacci

Every word, every look at the woman must be full of respect and admiration, then for us Christians the first place where the word became flesh is the womb of a woman, for those who have faith this forever affects the look at women. Thus the secretary of the CEI, Msgr. Giuseppe Baturi responding to a question on the latest statements by Minister Tajani and the leader of Futuro Nazionale Roberto Vannacci on women. "With our gaze - said Baturi - we enter into relationships with others, respect is needed towards men, women, children and the elderly, towards women maximum to the extent that they can be the object of superficial glances".

The words of Tajani and Vannacci

In recent days, the statements of Foreign Minister Tajani on the "choice of his wife" have caused discussion, which were also commented on by the leader of Futuro Nazionale Roberto Vannacci. Tajani, as a political metaphor, had declared: "If I had to advise his son which woman he should marry", I would suggest choosing "a less flashy but more reliable, more serious girl who will be a good mother of the family", even if with a "slightly longer skirt" than a more attractive woman. Words that sparked a series of controversies and on which Vannacci commented on Sky Tg24 saying: "Between a woman with a long skirt and a woman with a short skirt, I always prefer a woman without a skirt".
