“a Christianity that does not wait… risks to be self-referential and consoling. The desperate hope and the restlessness for Christ’s arrival make the believer’s life genuine”: Enzo Bianchi.

Catholic church cannot parade, as a pope, a person anthropologically non-authentic, better disastrous.

Wojtyla’s miracles? Even pagan charismatics did them. Wojtyla’s deep prayer? Even supreme priests, who crucified Jesus, knew it.

Not the wonder, not the mystic but the Gospel, this is our Criterion .

Even saints who had never lived did miracles.

Even Elvis Presley would be able. Just believe it.

“Jesus, a historically convincing and sensible figure”: Joseph Ratzinger Benedetto XVI. But then, why did they kill him?

Jesus is absolute intimacy with the Father. But Ratzinger does not take the capital consequence of this capital statement: the absolute and fontal primacy of mystics, in Jesus’ life. Mystics the church still bewares of. Mystics, dazzling witness of the Resurrected presence and rule among us.

If Jesus’ essence is mystic, one can get to it only through mystics. Not through the “sensible” reason of Ratzinger.

Mystics is not a luxury, it is the normal experience of the real church.
