Crosses in Italian Cemetery Hidden with Cloth; Done So as Not to Hurt Those of Other Religions

The crosses on graves in an Italian cemetery in Pieve di Cento have been covered with black cloth so as not to offend those who may come from another religion, the Breitbart website reports today (April 9, 2019).

The cemetery, which is located in Bologna in a town of around 7,000 people, has also installed motorized blackout curtains in a local chapel to hide Roman Catholic symbols during ceremonies involving other denominations.

Forza Italia (Forward Italy) deputy Galeazzo Bignami denounced the action, saying it disrespects Christian values.

He added, "even more so the memory of the dead, hiding them behind 'motorized tents' in a cemetery to avoid offending other religions."
