The President of the Italian Bishops' Conference has received another death threat. The Genoa Archdiocese reportedly received an envelope containing picture or photo of the archbishop along with a bullet.
Archbishop Bagnasco became the target of threats soon after he was selected to head the Italian bishops' conference, and issued a strong public statement in opposition to a bill that would offer legal recognition of same-sex unions. Genoa's cathedral and other Catholic churches in the city-- and elsewhere around the country-- have been defaced by spray-painted slogans denouncing Archbishop Bagnasco and in some cases hinting at violence against him.
