Escrivá de Balaguer: “Blessed be the pain, sanctified be the pain, glorified be the pain”. Blessed be the torture, blessed the torturers, much blessed much sanctified much glorified Bush.
Catholic church has become a bazar. There is something to suit all tastes, even the sadomasochist ones.
Wojtyla’s legitimate and not illegitimate, most genuine, son, is Joseph Ratzinger, author of the catho-islamic confrontation.
A theology, not the one of the dialogue (sincere mental cordial effective), is criminal. Ratzinger’s one is criminal. Ratzinger autistic or criminal? Or autistic criminal? Or criminal autistic?
Muslims, Italians and not, have the right to polygamy.
Towards Petra
The pink town of the desert.
Sailing cameleer
On starry dune.
The heart is grit
Abraded by sunny winds.
Purple Mosques
Turkish domes
Samarqand.
You are a gold blade
In the heart.
Heidegger, commenting about Schiller: “People wake up with poetry at the beginning and coming out from it they come to an end”.
Friedrich von Schiller, cited by Heidegger: “Vulgar natures pay with what they do, the noble ones with what they are!”.
Heidegger: “…(esthetic state is the first form of freedom, that is spontaneous receptivity)…”.
Reality is veiled. Truth is unveiling.
For many people veil is only a heavy cloth to scientifically finger or sensuously grope.
True science is science of the veil and the Glimpsing, better, Per-seeing.
When the truth is unveiled, it is still veiled.
Science is crepuscular knowledge (in faith) of God and the things.
Our earthly knowledge of God and the things cannot be solar. We are always between mirrors and reflections, upon which the Face, uncatchable, flashes.
We are material angels, noisy sounds, thickened light. We are lead harps.
Everything is longing and bow. You row with difficulty towards the horizon, under the stars of faith, making out, among the tears, the purple of the christic home.
Tzvetan Todorov, the great Bulgarian intellectual: “We speak a lot about Christian heritage but Europe has also a Greek, Jewish, Muslim tradition, of the free thought. Its statute is plurality. The reference to the Age of Enlightenment, that for the first time have interpreted pluralism as a virtue, would be more real to me and indispensable than the reference to Christian origins: the acceptance of diversity is a exclusive invention of that Age and does not certainly belong to any religious tradition. Nothing could be further from my mind than ignoring the function of Christianity in our culture, but on the political field, as citizens, we have to recognize that the Age of Enlightment played the decisive role”.
Truth is unveiling not because it is unveiled, but because it unveils itself. Not because it is indispensable, but for freedom. It unveils itself for freedom because it loves. It loves to unveil to men and it loves the men it unveils for. Between the love of unveiling to men and the love of men to whom it unveils, it prefers the love of men.
Any papal gathering is at risk. The church will transform pope’s and believers’ in martyrdom stupidity. Beozia.
