Rev. Sante's presence on TV: No Novelty. Anchorman Mentana impedes him speaking about his book.

The Rev. Sante Sguotti, the rebel priest and former parish priest at Monterosso, was invited to appear Monday on the Matrix program with Enrico Mentana. A calmer debate was held in comparison to previous appearance on the Buona Domenica program. There will still difficult moments for the priest.

Monsignor Vinicio Albanese of the Capodarco community pointed his finger at him. "And you say you discovered love?," he asked. "Now? At the age of 40 years? Certain things can happened at a certain age. How is it that only when you are 40-years-old you come to understand that you are not fit for celibacy?" he asked.

The former parish priest on Monterosso did not want to listen to those arguments and continued to repeat what the local chronicle has already written and listened to thousands of times. "In the sacred scripture there are married figures who have a family and who love God more than any person ever did," Rev. Sante answered. He said people should compare a married priest with a non-married one and see who better looks after his parish and who better helps his faithful.
