Fortunately, there are more enlightened people. Despite of holding high office, religious leaders are not always bright: often get the impression that their vocation is formed dogmas touting instead devoted their contemplation, the mystery dogmas that surround them . If that were the case, if they show us that these dogmas, precepts, rules are set arbitrarily, but worthy of being followed, contemplate, ponder for a lifetime, if you take this position, in fact, who fervent dedication to the spiritual life and accept the mysteries as abstruse and irrational, then you earn the respect of all. In the ecclesiastical hierarchies, however, does everything to state emphatically the obligation, demystifying of fact. But think what would sound ridiculous on a discussion between an agnostic and transustansazione What the Pope, the Pope might use arguments to convince the audience that every Sunday is the miracle of transformation from bread and wine into the Body and Blood? Could perhaps the Pope in person, or a dialectical view, to convince anyone of the truth of this dogma? If the Pope began to discuss the practical aspects the miracle, did not escape. If you astraesse and have all the meaning of tradition, would avoid the wretched figure. But our spiritual guides, alas, do nothing. On serious issues, on which they have an opinion (we admit as well) respectable, discuss what you have and what you should not do. Are covered with ridicule, because they have no logical arguments, but only a priori. Respectable, yes, but a priori.
Fortunately, there are exceptions. Carlo Maria Martini of these figures is a spiritually elevated. In the last conclave he was a favorite hound German. Martini always knows how to talk to who does not believe, because he is a man who probably doubted. It can not be reassured by the dogma. If it does not shield. It covers the beauty and spirituality. I read a book a few years ago, and I was ecstatic.
