“Itinerarium mentis in Deum” by Angelo Scola: from Christ to d.Giussani, from Church to Communion and Liberation. By the way thrown away even the paternal socialism.

 

To p.Georg Gaenswein, author of “Why does the Pope have red shoes?” I would suggest another title: “Why didn’t Saint Peter have red little shoes?”.

 

When, dear Georg, a theological description of  the Peter the rock chastity belt? And mainly of the sword in the Rock?

 

And he saw that sea, that Apocalypse does not describe: ruby and jade, thick and light, dazzling, windless, calm, green with Love. He saw and cried.

 

The praying, little girl, happy on God’s knees, in his dreams smiled at him.

 

The bottom of the things frays infinitely.

 

Couple’s eros, but violence, has no rules.

 

Anti pedophilia is the ethic decision, that the whole humanity has to make and love, thanks to values higher than sexual liberty.

 

Spirit is everything, not sex.

 

Even if the pedophile lies in us, let us embrace him: he will come in the light, weakened by love.

 

When the heart-attacked Carthusian did not have enough energy to pray, he was left with himself, made prayer.

 

We cannot know things: they spring up from the Abyss and smell of Abyss.

 

Science is science only if it is aware of its short-sight.

 

Not every faith is faith, but only the being it.

 

Faith deals with the Subject while faith intellect defines the Subject as Object. It is the complexity of human being to rule. But spirit is more powerful than complexity, of which it is a part.

 

In the rage and in the sand of Nothingness, the blue eyes of a Tuareg light: spirit and faith.

 

Christ is a most delicate essence: as soon as it is exposed to power it disappears.

 

Scola’s Christ drains away in the draining boards of  Scholastic hills.
