Document Summary
In this moment of history we need men who make god visible through their enlightened and lived faith. Today"s political moralism doesn"t open the way to regeneration, it blocks it: nothing is good or evil in itself, everything depends on the consequences that can be foreseen for a given action. 2 cultures that have marked europe: shall the constitution mention god, shall the constitution mention europe"s christian roots, article 52 of the constitution guarantees the institutional rights of the church. It is not the mention of god that offends adherents of other religions, but rather the attempt to build the human community without any relationship to god: concept of discrimination being continually broadened. The prohibition of discrimination can find itself increasingly transformed into a limitation on the freedom of opinion and the freedom of religion: now we are no longer allowed to state that homosexuality is, as the catholic.
