Last August there has been much discussion of a sentence the TAR of Lazio on the role of religion teachers in the awarding of college credit. Minister Fioroni in 2007 had ruled that "teachers who carry out the teaching of the Catholic religion to participate fully in the deliberations of the class concerning the allocation of school credit to students who opt for such teaching." The ruling overturned this approach. Just long enough to infuriate the controversy in newspapers and television and the 'patch' ready. On 19 August the minister Gelmini, with a retroactive provision, re-establish that "religious instruction helps the allocation of credit."
Religious education is common in many European countries, although it may vary the mode of approach: ethical, historical, or para-catechism. In Italy, after the reform Ermini in 1955 and opted for the hour of religion in a manner distinctly confessional and for a long time it remained mandatory. Only in 1984, with the "New Arrangement" signed by Craxi, was less than the mandatory nature of this teaching and defined the following requirement in secondary schools of the first and second grade teaching the Catholic religion may be entrusted to those who have achieved a degree in college or approved by the Holy See, or have completed the regular course of study in a seminary. Still 30% of the teachers of religion in public schools is appointed by the Diocesan Curia, while the remaining 70% is appointed by the Regional School agreement with the Diocesan Ordinary . Therefore remains expertise - often exclusively - of the Church to organize a didactic material (optional) taught in state schools.
From a purely micro-economic the First and the Second Theorem of Welfare Economics explicit the close relationship between a competitive environment and obtaining Pareto efficiency . The two assumptions imply certain preconditions, but are largely shared by the proponents of liberalism in its various facets: the destruction of privileges (or powers) improves the level of competition, and this should increase the efficiency of the system. Thanks to the contributions of the Nobel Prize for Economics Gary Becker the logic of methodological individualism has been extended (and extended) to each field and human behavior, including the supply and demand for religion, well explained in many His work Laurence Iannaccone. They do not find, therefore, justification clutches due to action of individuals equal a privilegi assegnati dallo Stato a uno o ad altri operatori, neanche nel 'mercato religioso'.
L'obiezione comune è quella che l'ora di religione è facoltativa. Come contro-obiezione si fa notare che l'alternativa non rave; tra insegnamento della religione cattolica o insegnamento di ogni altra religione (circostanza tra l'altro impraticabile), ma tra religione cattolica o 'niente'. E' come se in un mercato l'alternativa fosse tra il servizio offerto da un operatore (si pensi a campi come telefonia, energia, trasporto o altro) o il non servizio. E' chiaro che tale alternativa prefigura una forma netta di distorsione di mercato (tipicamente il monopolio); e questo vale anche per l'ora di religione.
A thesis also endorsed by Annicchino Pasquale on one of the most liberal blog Italian ether, where the question "What is the Concordat but a legally supported monopoly (patents, for instance)? It is not the monopoly itself that concerns us, but barriers to market contestability in the form of powers under the Concordat. Thus, Giuliano Ferrara Il Foglio forward an interesting proposal: "The Pope returns to the state its prerogatives concordat on religious education [...] and the state breaks the anti-liberal cultural monopoly established by the school only public and his myth. " A proposal for what can only be delivered before a share. Once assured all that is meritorious in terms of the collective (eg schools in remote areas or small towns), it is therefore necessary to open the market to the public funding of both state and private schools according to criteria of clear and verifiable quality 'teaching in a context where, by necessity, be abolished on the prerogatives of the arrangement.
be concluded that healthy competition would be healthy to the Church, still less able to 'compete' effectively with other religions that fail to make the position, are more dynamic and that active in the market of the Faith.
