	Curioso E Critico IL " Popolo" Del Prete Ribelle Il Gazzettino December 1, 2007 http://www.gazzettino.it/VisualizzaArticolo.php3 Michela Danieli, reporter for Il Gazzettino, wrote about some conversations she had yesterday at the Mondadori book shop in Piazza Insurrezione, Padua, where the Rev. Sante Sguotti presented his book, "Il mio amore non e' peccato" (My love is not a sin). About 50 people, their ages mainly 55-65, were there. Among those present included those who were browsing in the book shop. One 65-year-old man said he was there because he was a psychotherapist. A 50-year-old woman, Anna, said she did not share the choice made by the rebel priest for if he does not want to respect the rules of his belief, then he must quit and do some other job. Stefania, 30, criticized the priest and said he was exaggerating with all the publicity and once he made those choices he should have kept them private. Alberto, 40, said a book cannot be written in three days and the priest only wanted to make money exploiting the people's credulity. Giovanna, 65, said good things could be made without all the publicity. Other younger people seemed to be softer. Elisabetta said it was important to debate such a controversial issue. Sabrina affirmed the media presence was good because it could shorten the time for the Catholic church to change its ways. Serenella, 45, mother of two children ages 11 and 8, entered the book shop with them and said he was so familiar on TV she could not help entering to see him again. Raffaele Tonon, an ever-present TV talk show host and expert in "everything," introduced the meeting. The Rev. Lucas Giacalona, who was married and is now separated, said he took vows as a priest of the Orthodox church. He is from Marsala, Sicily, and he said they cannot stand him there and have invited him "to change air." The Catholic Church of the Sinners, founded by Rev. Sguotti, will meet at 9 a.m. today at the Sheraton in Padua.
