(Christianity lives) «in an evolutive process that cannot be reduced to any of the formula (sacramental rites, dogmatic formulations, standard rules, temporal structure of the ecclesiastic order) adopted by its being ecclesial, a spiritual community, down the history»: Pavel Florenskij

 

Europe «is not the history of an idea that allows one only tradition, but it is the history of a tradition that allows the most different and risky ideas»: Dario Antiseri

Whole continents, voted to hunger and thirst, the poorest will never be able to identify themselves in his high-bourgeois choice.
