Modena, "Il nostro Dio? Lo spaghetto volante": in città i Pastafariani Here is the text of the email I just sent to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster:
Dear all,
My name is.... During today's Faculty Meeting (10/7/21), I requested that my request to include on the agenda of the next meeting the discussion on the adoption, by our Institute, of the ruling established regarding the display of Crucifixes in classrooms by the ruling of the Court of Cassation on 9/9/21 (No. 24414) be recorded.
I would like to remind you that this ruling gives school authorities the responsibility to decide on the issue, reiterating that such display is no longer mandatory (but likewise, the removal of the Crucifix is not obligatory either).
The ruling suggests reaching a calm mediation among the various positions regarding this matter (ahahahaha...).
It states that – among the possibilities for agreement – the opportunity to display other religious symbols alongside the Crucifix could also be considered.
For this reason, I am requesting to be able to display the symbols of the Pastafarian Religion to which I have chosen to adhere (I have been touched by the Enlightenment!).
I would like to exhibit sacred colanders or similar items (the liscafisso, as pleasant as it is, seems too less visible to me); thus, I ask you: which objects do you think I should display, how can I bless them so as to make them valid objects of Worship, can I receive your official endorsement (or similar documentation) to present to the Principal and anyone who wishes it to affirm the actual sacredness of the items in question?
In short, to put it plainly: can I receive your support for this battle of civilization?
Hopeful for a prompt response, I extend my greetings.
If I succeed in displaying the Sacred Colander in the classrooms of my Institute, I will post the photos dedicating them to the two boring fakes
@[neave] and
@[whiseas] (and to those who bring them to life considering it amusing).
