Tweġiba għall-attakki li qegħdin isiru kontra l-knisja fil-kwistjoni politiku-reliġjuża li qegħdin fiha (1961)

Abstract

Dan id-dokument jippreżenta tweġibiet dettaljati għal serje ta’ akkużi magħmula kontra l-Knisja f’Malta u l-Arċisqof Gonzi waqt il-kriżi politiko-reliġjuża tal-1961. It-test jiddefendi l-azzjonijiet tal-Isqof, filwaqt li jakkuża lil Dom Mintoff b’attitudni anti-klerikali, influwenzi soċjalisti, u l-ħolqien ta’ firdiet soċjali permezz tal-Brigata. Jiġu elenkati wkoll il-ħidmiet soċjali numerużi tal-Knisja bħala prova tal-impenn tagħha lejn il-ħaddiema u l-fqar, filwaqt li jiġġustifika l-intervent tal-Kleru meta r-reliġjon tkun mhedda.

This document presents detailed rebuttals to a series of accusations made against the Church in Malta and Archbishop Gonzi during the 1961 politico-religious crisis. The text defends the Bishop's actions while accusing Dom Mintoff of anti-clericalism, socialist influences, and creating social divisions through the "Brigata". It also lists numerous social works of the Church as proof of its commitment to workers and the poor, while justifying Clerical intervention when religion is under threat.
