“The one who loses himself in the Scriptures and finds a hidden treasure, that is Christ, will see his conscience to expand as never before, till he can not only embrace what is human but also whatever is created, that has been reconciled in Him”: Paolo Ricca

 

The Word is the projection of God to Himself and the men at the same time.

 

Christ, Life from the Father and to the Father.

 

Gianni Vattimo in his leave-taking lectio magistralis from University of Turin: the dialogue, creature of hermeneutics, is an «empty myth». Its extreme spread has watered it down. It is necessary to «side with», no matter the sacrifice.

Objection of the Carthusian: yes, it is necessary to side with, but for the dialogue, starting from what we have in common, the human sense of Man.

Lacking of commitment and seriousness empties the dialogue and makes a small formula of it. It is necessary to side with all together around this fundamental alive one, the Man, and to reason about real surrounding differences. We need a humanism-faith, a humanism-passion, a humanism logos and pathos.

 

Vattimo: Unique Thought corresponds to the Washington Consensus out of which there is nothing but terrorism.

 

Vattimo: capitalistic rationality, more and more irrational, is shamelessly showing its purely predatory conscience.

 

Christ is the “Redeemer” that is the Synthesizer: He has synthesized between the Divine and the Human, enriching the Divine and invigorating the Human. Enriching the Divine with differences.
