CATHOLIC CHURCH TO ITALIAN PM TO CONTROL HIMSELF


Avvenire, the Italian Catholic daily, reprimanded the Prime Minister for his “self-declared weakness for actresses in the bloom of youth”, and called on the 72-year-old billionaire to control himself.
His wife has already declared that enough is enough and yesterday it was the turn of Roman Catholic bishops to take Silvio Berlusconi to task for his wandering eye.
As Mr Berlusconi and his soon-to-be former wife, Veronica Lario, drew up the battlelines for a bruising divorce, the newspaper - the voice of the Italian bishops' conference threw its weight behind growing calls for the Prime Minister to moderate his behaviour.
Last night Mr Berlusconi went on state-run television to defend himself, repeating that his estranged wife should publicly apologise for embarrassing him and admit that she was wrong. He also said that the suggestion by his wife and the media that he had a relationship with an 18-year-old girl was a lie.
Ms Lario, 52, had cited her husband's frequent flirtations with younger women as a reason for divorce, and pointed to his recent presence at the 18th birthday party of Noemi Letizia as evidence.
