"and did not deny"?

And why, if he confessed

and did not deny,

did he add "he confessed"?

He's here...

Your Excellency,

your place is here.

Who are you?

A minister, an under-secretary,

a state councillor, a financer?

A party leader?

A famous journalist?

All right, you're a powerful man.

Then I ask you:
what do

you confess? How do you confess?

How do you all confess?

And why do you confess? To be absolved?

If what you stole from others

can be returned and isn't returned

the confession of this sin

isn't valid.

Sins can be forgiven...

only if what was stolen

is given back.

There is no salvation

without restitution.

Money, credit, trust,

appointments...

power itself. That which is ill-gotten

must be returned.

The Neapolitans are going.

They have a guilty conscience.

Professor Bastanti too.

Strange.

Retire now. Meditate on this theme

alone in your rooms,

with your own consciences.

One will be chosen, another will be left out.

Where a corpse lies...

therein the eagles will meet.

Friends, feel free to speak.

The priest called us thieves.

By "ill-gotten" he meant "stolen."

That seems clear, no?

We won't be absolved until we

return what was stolen.

After dedicating 30 years

to the country,

I feel sad, humiliated.

I feel like a leper!

We should have carried on

doing our professions.

No-one checks a manufacturer,

a doctor, an engineer or a trader.

Friends, everyone is asking

us to change.

We'll have to return something.

Never! How many posts have we lost

through our weakness?

ALERAC and many other

corporations are theirs.

We might as well be in opposition.

I ask myself if behind the priest

there isn't the will of someone higher?

Maybe the Church is trying to distance

itself from us?

That would be the height of ingratitude.

They can't. They can't

abandon us. And for whom?

- For them?

- It's unthinkable. - Absurd!

The Church is always one step ahead.

It can smell the crisis

in manufacturing.

Yes to capitalism,

as long as it's state-run.

- So everyone's happy.

- Why the f*** is he here?

- "He" also means "her".

- Who?

America.

What if everyone, I mean everyone,

industrialists, priests

the CIA and so on, are all

agreed to liquidate us?

- Why? What for?

- We must act, not pray.

Get out!

You pray in the dark... and alone.

Until you dull your senses.

Imagine being before your judge.

The real judge.

...otherwise you won't gain

any credit from our Father in Heaven.

When you give alms,

don't sound the trumpet before you...

Thank you for coming.

We're ready.

It's a difficult time.

It needs all our concentration.

Just like the spiritual exercises.

Excuse me a minute.
