Ya había pasado
anteriormente y habíamos dado cuenta de ello, pero esta vez, icónicamente la imagen es más poderosa, puesto que el simbolismo de pureza de las palomas blancas, símbolo de la paz, símbolo además del Espíritu Santo de la Santísima Trinidad cristiana, son atacadas por la viva imagen del mal augurio, del pájaro agorero, oscuro, negro (en este caso grajos o cornejas, corríjanme los ornitólogos), además de por las consabidas y violentas gaviotas. Al fin y al cabo, gracias a Richard Bach y su Juan Salvador Gaviota de connotaciones neocristianas, la imagen de la estas aves marinas ubicuas pasa de lo positivo a lo vorazmente negativo con cierta facilidad, pero la imagen de una paloma blanca inequívocamente liberada como símbolo de paz cristiana atacada por un oscuro córvido no deja mucho margen a las interpretaciones simbólicas. Desde luego, desde un punto de vista estrictamente zoológico, seguramente nos hallamos ante una simple cuestión de territorialidad o pura y llanamente depredación.

Bien
es posible que el mismísimo Juan Salvador Gaviota haya tomado cartas en
la perversa suplantación de los valores cristianos por la Iglesia
Católica y podamos reinterpretar de modo menos pesimista el simbolismo
de la metafórica escena.

Pope Francis on Sunday prayed for the start of a
“constructive dialogue” in Ukraine, releasing two white doves to
symbolize the hope for peace. However, the doves were immediately
attacked by a crow and a seagull.
Addressing tens of thousands of people gathered in Vatican City’s
St. Peter’s Square for the Pope’s weekly Angelus prayer, the
pontiff said that his thoughts and prayers were with the victims
of the Ukrainian unrest.
“I am close to Ukraine in prayer, in particular to those who
have lost their lives in recent days and to their families,”
Pope Francis said.
He then raised hopes for a
“constructive dialogue between the
institutions and civil society,” urging both sides to avoid
violence and reminding that
“the spirit of peace and a search
for the common good” should be
“in the hearts of
all.”
In a symbolic peace gesture, two white doves were then released
by children standing alongside Pope Francis.
But as soon as the birds took off, they were immediately attacked
by a crow and a seagull.
The crowd gasped as one dove broke free from its seagull
attacker, losing some feathers in the process. The other was less
fortunate and was repeatedly pecked at by the crow before flying
away.

It is not clear what happened to the doves after onlookers lost
sight of them.
Social networks immediately exploded with comments and
interpretations of the incident; some perceived it as an
“ill
omen” while others simply described the situation as ironic.
Hundreds of protesters and police officers have been injured in
violent riots in Ukraine. Investigators have been searching for
shooters who, in separate incidents this week, killed several
rioters and one policeman with rounds suitable for a sporting
gun.
