It is no accident that the Festival has chosen to use the same image that serves as the banner for the ‘Correctio Filialis’.
One inevitably thinks of the recent Boston conference among 40 of the staunchest Bergoglian faithful to strategize how to propagate further the errors of Amoris laetitia in the US Church. In Verona, Catholic orthodoxy will be proclaimed against Bergoglian apostasy...

Correctio filialis and the language of ambiguity”.

Lorenzo Fontana, vice-mayor of Verona, a European Parliament member from the conservative Italian party Lega Nord, and the #2 man in that party after Matteo Salvini, will speak about how it is possible to live as a Catholic and a politician: “My experience as a Catholic in politics”.
Silvana De Mari, doctor, psychotherapist, author of fantasy novels translated around the world, will link a well-known fantasy theme [from Lord of the Rings] to current events: “The Orks on the attack against men and women”.
Francesco Agnoli, historian, philosopher and prolific contributor of articles on the faith to many Italian periodicals, will speak about the life of a man considered to be the greatest mathematician of the 20th century, Alexander Grothendieck, who died three years ago after giving up atheism to find his faith in God. The title of his lecture, “The splendor that transcends”, is taken from an unpublished manuscript by Grothendieck.
