A shake of convenience
Brussels three years ago sent a request for an explanation from the Italian government was asked why some commercial entities in the hands of the Catholic Church enjoyed tax privileges in spite of the Community rules on free competition. After various adventures have happened since then, the Italian government increasingly favors the Church, its business, it helps to cover the pedophilia scandals etc.etc.
seems that these days something will change, not under pressure from Brussels, or to comply with our constitution, but the government has legislated so that hospitals, schools, hotels and other clerical authorities will have to pay the same taxes to be paid by other employers private. Morale seems a great move! Finally Italy is preparing to take the path of secularism, equality among citizens ... When? from 2014! That is, given the changing ideas of the rulers, as well as the rulers themselves, the law will probably be changed. But we have made in the event that this law remains. The government will do to ensure fair competition in the country? no! do so for budgetary needs. It appears that the continuing financial losses due to the promotion of clerical mafia cause of lost revenue to the treasury, since tax revenues are now what they are and wallets of the citizens are rather empty the treasury will make money where there are ( last). There is talk of some € 2 billion of the year only from 2014 will come into the coffers of the state thereby setting a competition in Italy and leveling the huge disparity between Catholics and other religions with agnostics and atheists. And if after years of damage we had suffered years of ridicule? There is a European Union procedure against Italy for illegal aid to the Vatican in the course of 4 years. This involves bureaucracy and therefore costs. If Brussels will win the appeal we should also pay the fine?
