“Jesus of Nazareth” that is the exegetes on the tight rein of the theologian Ratzinger. His exegesis of yesterday versus today’s one.

It is ridiculous to go on saying: Jesus has resurrected. While He is about to come back.
The church does not want to be upset by the “Return” (at hand) of Jesus. To be disturbed would be the middle class quiet and ecclesiocentric management of Depositum fidei and its silent burocratic imperialistic project.
Apocalypse will impose the Gospel.

Elegant insinuation of the exegete Martini to the Author: update yourself.
