ByMONSIGNORJAMESI.TUCEK

THEresignationofItaly'sChristianDemocratgovermentwasastepdesignedtomake wayforaleft-leaningcoalitionpreparedbytheChristianDemocrats'recentcongress. PremierAmintoreFanfani,irrepressiblestrongman ofthe17-month-oldChristianDemocratgovernment. submittedhisresignationtoPresidentGronchion February2.

Hismovewasexpected.Itfollowedbyonedaythe endoftheChristianDemocraticparty'sweek-longcongressinNaples,whichconcludedwiththeresolution thattheCatholic-orientedpartyshouldattemptanew governmentcoalitionwiththeSocialDemocratsand theRepublicanparty,alongwiththeinvitedoutside supportoftheSocialistparty.

Therewasnothingnewinthecoalitionitself,for theSocialDemocratsandtheRepublicansareoldallies oftheChristianDemocrats.Thenewelementwas foundinthedeclarationthatthesupportoftheSocialists,formeralliesofthecommunistparty,wouldbe accepted.

Inrealitythiswasa"wait-and-see"attitudeonthe partoftheChristianDemocrats.Butthecatchwas thattheSocialistsalsowantedtowaitandsee.

TheChristianDemocratsweresayingineffect:"Let's seeiftheSocialistshavereallyseparatedfromthe communists."TheSocialistsweresaying:"Let'ssee yourprogrammebeforewepromiseoursupport."

In1956thetwopartiesbrokeoverthehandlingofthe ill-fatedHungarianuprising.SincethenSaragathas consideredtheextremeSocialistssufficientlymature anddetachedtoshareintheactualgoverningofItaly. ThisviewhasalsobeensharedbytheRepublicansand theleft-wingoftheChristianDemocraticparty.

ManyChristianDemocrats,however,donotshare thisopinion.MinisterofJusticeGuidoGonellahas saidthatifthe"openingtotheleft"werepermitted, itwouldresultinaschismwithintheChristianDemocraticparty.EvenmoreopposedisInteriorMinister MarioScelba.

ThatWorrying"OpeningToTheLeft"

Amajorquestionis:Whatistheattitudeof'the Churchtothe"openingtotheleft?"

"ThouartPeter,"Christsaid,"anduponthisrock IwillbuildmyChurch:andthegatesofhell(i.e. theforcesoferrorandevil)shallnotprevail againstit"(Matt.16:18).Onasecondoccasion ChristsaidtoPeter:"I,haveprayedfortheethat thyfaithfailnot;anddothou,beingconverted, confirmthybrethren"(Lk.22:32).Yetagain,He commissionedPetertobeshepherdofthewhole flock,saying:"Feedmylambs feedmysheep" (Jn.21:15-17).
