Don Patriciello, ‘no to political battles on my back’

(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 12 – “It disturbed me that a person puts his nose into what I do. I simply went to a conference with illustrious speakers, invited as a guest by Dr. Ciciliano, commissioner of Caivano. A meeting in Montecitorio I never thought it could spark so much debate, my presence was one of many among hundreds of people. I don’t understand the governor of Campania De Luca who calls me Pippo Baudo and talks about my hair: I am a parish priest who speaks against it in schools. bullying and I weigh every word so as not to hurt anyone. Words must give hope, not hurt.” Thus Don Maurizio Patriciello, in connection with Francesca Fialdini in the program Da noi… a libero, on Rai1, returned to the declarations of the president of the Campania Region. “I never expect anything, I’m a priest and I don’t take it,” he added. “But I don’t want political battles to be fought on my back, I want them to let me be the priest who sees and reports what’s wrong in his own neighborhood.” (HANDLE).
