28th November 2010. First Advent Sunday. 3,20 a.m.. Sudden apparition of Satan. Tall, stately, well-built, silent, apparently inexpressive. Actually freezing. Even under the warm blankets, feet and legs are hit by a terrible cold. The heart is spared. For grace. In the morning, in Lecce, maxi-diffusion of the Nasa announcement.
Political-ethical Manifesto of the Prophet
Against the capitalism:
The Person, not the Profit
Against the Lega:
The Person, not the Territory
Against Marxism:
The Person, not the Class
Against the Fascism:
The Person, not the State, not the Nation
Against Nazism:
The Person, not the Race
Focus
The Person is incarnated spirit
Its object is the Universal
Its landing is the Community, human and cosmic
As far as God is concerned, His grids are:
Excess, Plus, heteronomy, heterogeneity
Possibility, Not yet, Future, Novum, Surprise
Aporia, apo-phatic theology, disproportion, Dis-analogy
(analogy is fragile and it is anxious in saint Thomas and in Kant)
Doxology, not analogy
Rational Anti-perfectionism and Anti-triumphalism
dogmatic Anti-definitionism
this is the terminology Italo Mancini liked very much, a philosopher of religion at the Catholic University in Milan in the 60’s. Much loved by the future prophet. To whom he taught the Augustinian intellectum valde ama. And also the dogmatic anti-definitionism: “… the dominated by the words… the idolaters do not feel the infinite difference of God before the dogmatic, they only feel they have to talk about what they cannot talk about…”
In finem nostrae cognitionis
Deum tanquam ignotum
cognoscimus
Denis the Areopagite
(Myst. Theol., c.1)
Freely:
The theological trouble
Lands to a God who is known and unknowable
As unknown and unknowable
Fourth way of saint Thomas: the grades.
There in a plus and a minus in things and values
There is a relative maximum in things and values
So there is an Absolute Maximum
Beyond and over things and values
The first way, the one of the motion, may sound like this today:
Everything, globally, moves towards
Because it is moved towards
No everything can move
Towards itself or towards the nothing
The historical way of God
is
Utopia
The poor of every South
As non violent protagonists of the History
Who evangelize the Earth
With their needs, their rights
Their human richness
In the water of Marxist ideology must be individuated, according to Ernst Bloch, two currents: one cold, rational, analytical, the other hot, voluntaristic, inspiring, poetic and poietic, messianic: the self-redemption of all the poor of the Earth.
To God
One can get
Through the Dis-analogy (speculative way)
and
through the Utopia (historical way)
