"His subjects, as baptized." With these words, October 25, 1958, the Court of Appeal acquitted the Bishop of Florence, Prato , who had publicly disparaged two young, recently married civilly. On October 25, 2008, fifty years later, the UAAR organizes a Day of sbattezzo. 'Sbattezzo' means cancellation of the civil effects of baptism, which is the basic right established by a decision of the Authority for the privacy of no longer being considered by the state as "subjects" of the Church, "obedient" and "subservient" to the hierarchies Church.
The reasons to leave the Catholic Church may be a number consistent with their principles, why protest discrimination as gays, women or researchers claim their own identity as an atheist or agnostic. Or simply intellectual honesty to say "there are more than yours." The
UAAR not organize Controra vindictive, but invites those who are no longer Catholics to exercise this right: we know that already thousands of people have done, but we believe that if those who have not yet formally abandoned the Catholic Church will do so on one occasion, the impact of their decision will surely be amplified.
For this reason, the UAAR invites all interested parties to contact our clubs and our contacts , October 25, 2008 that will send the recommendations of "sbattezzo" collections.
