	Culture of Italy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The culture of Italy can be found in the Roman ruins remaining in much of the country, the precepts of the Roman Catholic Church, the spirit of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, the architecture, and on the terraces of the many football clubs.
		Italy has successfully participated in the Olympics since the second summer Olympics in 1900 and since the 1948 Winter Olympics.
		The music of Italy ranges across a broad spectrum, from her renowned operas to modern experimental classical music; and from the traditional music of the many ethnically diverse regions to a vast body of popular music drawn from both native and imported sources.

	Pope Leo XIII 15 October 1890 Freemasonry in Italy. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		It is religion which gives to rulers feelings of justice and love towards their subjects; which makes subjects faithful and sincerely devoted to their rulers; which makes upright and good legislators, just and incorruptible magistrates, brave and heroic soldiers, conscientious and diligent administrators.
		It is religion which produces concord and affection between husband and wife, love and reverence between parents and their children; which makes the poor respect the property of others, and causes the rich to make a right use of their wealth.
		Italy reconciled with the Pontiff, and faithful to its religion, would be able worthily to emulate the glory of its early times; and from whatever real progress there is in the present age it would receive a new impulse to advance in its glorious path.

	Internal competition in a national religious monopoly: the Catholic effect and the Italian case Sociology of Religion - ...
		In fact, the Catholic effect, as evident in Italy, reveals some limits of both explanations of the relationship between religion and modernization: the "old" secularization approach to religion in modernity (Wilson 1985; Dobbelaere 1981, 1984; Tschannen 1992) and the "new" theory of the religious market (Stark and lannaccone 1992, 1994; Stark and Finke 2000).
		Italy is an important case; in terms of dynamics, intensity, and quantity, Italy may be, after the US, the second religious market among large Western countries.
		Italian sociologists of religion should have taken advantage of the unusual coincidence of modernization, religious monopoly, and religious vitality to explore the myth of secular modernity and to contribute to recognizing and solving the Catholic effect.

		In the Middle Ages religion held the dominant position and was the guiding principle in morals, in education, in literature, and in art; but as the faith of many began to grow cold, and as the rights of Church and State began to be distinguished, secularist tendencies soon made themselves felt.
		The ruin of Italy and Rome, caused in great measure by the absence of the Popes during their residence at Avignon, roused all the patriotic instincts of Petrarch, and urged him to strive with all his might for the restoration of the ancient glory of his country.
		In Italy, Germany, France, and England, bishops and abbots vied with secular princes in their patronage of scholars, while the influence of the Popes, notably Nicholas V., Sixtus IV., Julius II., and Leo X. was entirely in favour of the Humanist party.

		For Italy, moreover, the loss would be sensible.-All its glories and greatness, which for a long time gave to it the first place among the most cultured nations, are inseparable from religion, which has either produced or inspired them, or certainly has given to them favour, help, and increase.
		Such is the so-called welfare and greatness prepared for Italy by those who, having its destinies in their hands, do all they can, in accordance with the impious aspiration of the sects, to overthrow the Catholic religion and the Papacy If Only- 17.

	Religion in Italy - history
		At one point, religion began a rather hasty descent and continued to spiral downhill until the counter-Reformation Movement.
		The rebirth of Italy is really believed to have occurred during the middle 1800's, however, when doors were opened and other denominations entered the dominant Roman Catholic world.
		In the Italy of today, the Roman Church still wields a powerful sword, and the people of the Church look to the Pope for guidance.

		It is not that the debate over religion's influence in political life has ended here, nor that Italy is exempt from a counterpoint argued angrily these days in Europe: whether the Continent has actually become so secular that it is now outright hostile to religion.
		Conservative politicians like him and the Vatican lament the decline of values and religion, some wondering whether Italy and Europe have lost touch with their Christian roots at a time when, as some see it, the West is facing a deep challenge from Islam.

	Augustine Thompson, O.P.: Cities of God: The Religion of the Italian Communes, 1125-1325
		Historians of communal Italy once focused on the cities as a precursor for the centralized states of early modern Europe, and this political perspective still obscures the religious nature of communal Italy for many modern observers.
		Recently, historians of medieval Italy have gone beyond a story of political progress and emphasized instead the factiousness, primitiveness, oligarchy, particularism, and agrarian dependence of the cities, their “archaic” nature.
		Part II focuses on the shared behavior of communal Catholics, but it is not a study of “popular religion.” It is a study of communal—that is, urban—religion as experienced by all its practitioners, from the common people to the elites.

		But their powerful individuality made them in religion, as in other matters, altogether subjective, and the intense charm which the discovery of the inner and outer universe exercised upon them rendered them markedly worldly.
		That religion should again become an affair of the individual and of his own personal feeling was inevitable when the Church became corrupt in doctrine and tyrannous in practice, and is a proof that the European mind was still alive.
		They were not to blame for being unable to have any part or lot in the old Church, as she then was; nor would it be reasonable to expect that they should all of them go through that mighty spiritual labor which was appointed to the German reformers.

	CESNUR 2004 - Why Does “Self-Made Religion” Spread in Italy?, by Pino Luca Trombetta
		In this paper I argue that the subjective nature of the religion is worthy of studying on its own, but not, as it often happens, as a deviation from Church Religion.
		A preliminary explanation of the self-made religion spreading out in Italy in the last decades can be obtained considering the “post-monopolistic” religious market in Italy dominated by the continuous influence of the Church in the society.
		However, the end of the domination of a single Church does not mean that the religion does not have a role of justification in the symbolic structure of the society.

		It is the plan of the sects that is now unfolding itself in Italy, especially in what relates to the Catholic religion and the Church, with the final and avowed purpose, if it were possible, of reducing it to nothing.--It is needless now to put the Masonic sects upon their trial.
		But it is equally certain that, without religion there is no true morality, either public or private.--From the family, solidly based on its natural foundations, comes the life, the growth, and the energy of society.
		For Italy, moreover, the loss would be sensible.--All its glories and greatness, which for a long time gave to it the first place among the most cultured nations, are inseparable from religion, which has either produced or inspired them, or certainly has given to them favor, help, and increase.

		And in Italy, they can still count on a right-wing political class that is still loutish enough to ride the clerical-fascist bandwagon and on a left-wing political class that is too preoccupied with trying to seem left-wing to declare itself as openly secular.
		In other words, this "pitch invasion" on the part of the church, this interference with the right to choose, with sexual freedom, with self-determination, with secularism, is the beginning of a return to our catholic roots, in all their hypocritical and holier-than-thou glory.
