Response to the lack of funerals and mourninig due to COVID-19

2020
Guidelines
July 2020

The year 2020 will be remembered as a turning point for the entire world. The first months of the year have forced humanity to confront the dramatic, and in many ways unprecedented, Covid-19 pandemic.
Isolation, loneliness, social distancing, economic problems, death, and especially failure to grieve draw the new boundaries in which we pastors are called to dwell. Today the Church, perhaps more than at other times in history, must rediscover its being a "field hospital for vulnerable". The multiple interventions of bodies working in the psychosocial field hardly dwell competently on the religious-spiritual sphere of people. These guidelines aim precisely to fill this gap by recovering a rituality capable of healing wounds and simultaneously reopening to life.

I CUCCIOLI DELL'ISIS - L'ultima degenerazione dei bambini soldato

2020
Non-fiction book
October 2020

Con il suo libro fra Stefano ci mette in mano uno strumento per prendere coscienza di quest’ultima degenerazione dei «bambini soldato»:
i «bambini estremisti» alias «cuccioli del califfato».
Ci consegna uno strumento per comprendere la natura di questa tragedia e le sue peculiari caratteristiche, ma anche e soprattutto ci aiuta
ad elaborare piani di intervento concreti per ridare futuro e speranza non solo a questi bambini, ma credo, anche a tutti noi.
[From the introduction of Mons. George Abou Khazen OFM, Apostolic Vicar of Aleppo for the Latins]

Memoir
PinokkhIo BLACK SHEEP & the unbeatable: donKisciotte
Teatro sociale nelle carceri dimenticate dell'Africa nera tra torture e disumanità

Per la legge camerunense i minori di 18 anni non possono essere imprigionati.
La realtà è profondamente diversa. I minori vengono imprigionati, maltrattati, e spesso dimenticati.
Non c’è giustizia, non c’è umanità in quello che accade dentro le carceri camerunensi.
In questo inferno recintato, la solitudine fa da padrona. Solitudine che ha radici lontane, radici casalinghe. Storie di ragazzi abbandonati, lasciati soli in tenerissima età.
Il libro racconta il lavoro di un ri-partire da un prendersi carico, cura l’uno dell’altro. Lo spezzare il circolo devastante del “vuoto utilizzo dell’altro” vivendo la costante e giornaliera condivisione di tutto ha portato alla creazione di due significativi eventi di comunità: “PinokkhIo BLACK SHEEP” e “the Unbeatable: Don Kisciotte”.
