Las anteriores entregas «Sepulcros de Cristal» (Levante-EMV, 16-06-2009) y «Reis, tombes i savis» (Levante-EMV, 28-09-2010), en las que se reflexionaba respectivamente sobre la exhibición patrimonial de restos humanos en museos y la pertinencia o no de las exhumaciones en curso de reyes y otros personajes históricos célebres, han conducido casi indefectiblemente a centrar la presente meditación intelectiva en torno al rol reservado en la sociedad contemporánea a la blasfemia ordinaria.

En este orden de cosas y desde la propia etimología griega de la palabra cual injuria de la reputación celestial, blasphemy, understood as an affront to God or disrespect towards any religion revered, although it is logically prohibited by law in some countries ruled by theocracies, democracies like ours denominational or secular par excellence of the French Republic, seems to be a social and legal reserve paradoxical or anachronistic.

So, not to mention the scatological outbursts as thoroughbred in their own language areas of the former dominions of Latin, which is a good example of the angry reaction of the pastor of Almussafes to the staging of a play of The Fera Ferotge group: "What most serious of representation is that shit on God, on the Cross, with St. Peter and the carpenter who made "(sic) (Levante-EMV, 07/15/1999).

deserves a special mention unedifying recent exchange of slaps Rotova between a priest and one of the revelers of the Divine Aurora, inopidamente for throwing some of them to the ground a consecrated wafer, which according to Canon 1367 literally means the penalty of excommunication "latae sententiae" automatically. Although fortunately the Eucharistic desecration far today as to the severity of punitive sanctions of the European land occurred in Brandenburg in 1510, where they were executed 38 Jews burned at the stake, covered with hoods or corozas infamous in the subsequent order of faith in a Germany still Knoblauch then Catholic.

surprising, however, the survival of express restrictions painted on the walls of some of the traditional Valencian ratchets where they develop significant cash bets, sometimes entire crops, around the ball game, "Prohibit blasphemy."

But the reality is that it was not until 1988 that the blasphemy was decriminalized in theory by Organic Law 5 / 1988, even though Article 525 of the English Penal Code as a crime is failing those who "made public in speech, writing or any type of document, a mockery of dogmas, beliefs, rites or ceremonies, or vejen , also publicly, to those who profess or practice "and the singer Javier Krahe is in the dock awaiting sentence for the television broadcasting of the video" How to Cook a Christ. "

socio-cultural mess in which it is aligned to end Eiximenis Francesc tirade when he preached satirically as "blasphemers blaspheme the ass of God" and theses releasing Albert Hauf collected at the symposium Riu de L'Home to a decade ago, in the sense that along the History, blasphemy has been playing a role on transgressive or emancipatory, as a safety valve social, to mock the power at times of increased repression clerical, in a plausible parallel with the pragmatic purpose of the ancient Roman style defixiones slander "Quintula semel cum sit et numquam Fortunali" marked on a sheet of lead or talisman 'in pedis plant.
