The daily of the Italian Bishops Avvenire has hired as a cartoonist Sergio Staino, the chief editor of L’Unità which was founded as the official newspaper of the Italian Communist Party. Staino is the honorary president of the Union of Rationalists Atheists and Agnostics, a hate-group operating with slogans like "The bad news is that God does not exist. The good news is that you don't need it". Antonio Socci comments, “Staino is the perfect man for the daily of the Italian Church which dislikes believers.”
