IL “VATICANO ORTODOSSO”

di: Giovanna Parravicini

«Quando lo spirito impuro esce dall’uomo, si aggira per luoghi deserti cercando sollievo, ma non ne trova. Allora dice: “Ritornerò nella mia casa, da cui sono uscito”. E, venuto, la trova vuota, spazzata e adorna. Allora va, prende con sé altri sette spiriti peggiori di lui, vi entrano e vi prendono dimora; e l’ultima condizione di quell’uomo diventa peggiore della prima. Così avverrà anche a questa generazione malvagia» (Mt 12,43-45).
