The Church and the referenda: from divorce to abortion, 1981, n. 16, pp.
34-39
Here we have some political analyses of the attitude of the Church towards the referendum promoted by the Catholic organisation "Movimento per la vita" (human life movement) with the aim of drastically restricting the current law on abortion.
The various writers - each of whom active either in the women's movement or in the feminist movement, focus on specific aspects of the problem in the attempt to understand the politics of the Church in its complexity, the Democrazia Cristiana, the party of "Catholics", the role of the Polish pope and the models of Catholic political militancy he introduces in Italy.
Margherita Repetto and Manuela Fraire analyse the relationship between the women's liberation movement and the women active in Catholic institutions, the right to reproductive freedom (which the "Movimento per la vita" wants to abolish) and indicate the differences in theory and politics between those two female realities.
