“I can name names,” Fr. Giaquinto had said. “I believe in a Church that denounces in order to proclaim.”
“I continue on my path, I will not stop. I am just a priest, not a hero. And my doors are open to all, to them as well. But this land needs to change,” he posted on his Facebook page.
The priest is regularly the target of threats, but has rejected bodyguards, even though mafia members have entered his church with weapons.
The fire last Thursday was not the first time his parish center has come under attack. Two months ago, intruders also set fire to some parts of the center and damaged a shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary. More of this report here.
