Anniversary Of A Death, Cards

The" plagiarism "of L'Osservatore Romano

After reading a headline like the one presented in this article should be noted that sometimes serves as a support to capture the reader's attention and we must never remain Print only the header. This is the first teaching I want to emphasize.

Certainly there is a relationship between the title and a real event happened last March 24, 2011 in the newspaper linked to the Holy See. I refer to the article "sui Dubbie Dubbie" La Civiltà Cattolica. " Hacker in close della PREZIOSA pearl, signed by Luca M. Possati, and published in L'Osservatore Romano .

is a plagiarized text of an article previously published in the renowned and prestigious journal of the Society of Jesus, The Civiltà Cattolica (her, history, we have dedicated an earlier text. You can see from the following link ). The article in question, signed by the eminent Jesuit Father Antonio Spadaro , called "Ethics " hacker "and Christian vision" ("Ethical Hacker and Christian vision", cf. Quaderno 3858, March 19, 2011) , and explores "the ways of life and intellectual inquiry hacker, based on creativity and sharing" and then discuss the "compatibility with a Christian vision of life."

already in a blog entry posted on the personal the Father Spadaro said surprised to find plagiarized an article that also criticizes him: "Possati attributed to himself the things I say in my article and let me play the role of one of the" experts through learned and refined analysis , throw warnings about the limits and potential risks of the hacker culture '. "

course Possati Luca plagiarism can not be assigned without the newspaper where he works. In fact, the father points out in his blog Spadaro it "considers to L'Osservatore Romano a great newspaper. Among other things it has always been attentive, with elegance and professionalism, to the things I write. " At the same time stressed that his clarification plays Possati only text and not the newspaper as such.

What lessons can be drawn from this? First of all, that the mistakes of people (in this case the plagiarism of a partner) should not be awarded to institutions (in this case a newspaper). But not all. It also invites us to be critical of the information we receive and not easily satisfied with the first news or opinions that emerge.

Some have spoken of "social media poisoning," alluding to the daily news metralleo produce two reactions: indifference or credulity by the mere fact that were published here and there, not knowing who, how, where and with what got them.

Finally, I must say that the author of this post wrote this article for a debt of gratitude to the Father Spadaro . I am regular reader of your articles in The Civiltà Cattolica largely and I owe him quite a few of the knowledge I have on ethics and digital media. In the many articles I have written about the Internet, and specialized nature, and on an informative, very rarely has missed some reference to their analysis. It is my teacher and I could not stop saying, acknowledge and, to the extent possible, provide this space by virtue of justice.
