Catholic weekly Famiglia Cristiana
publishes in its latest number a photo of a hand raised against
a disconcerted Interior Minister matteo salvini, captioned 'vade
retro Salvini' because of his tough migrant policies.
'Vade retro', usually followed by "Satana" or Satan, is Latin
for "get thee behind me", a Medieval formula for exorcising the
Devil.
"It's nothing personal or ideological", says the magazine
which hits news stands Thursday, "it's the Gospel".
Noting that migrant deaths at sea rose to 1,490 from January
1 to July 18, Famiglia Cristiana stressed the work of the
Catholic Church "against certain disparaging and non-evangelical
tones".
