ROME - With its announcement, Jesus made a departure from the religious dimension of politics, a separation that has changed the world and that truly belongs to the essence of his new route "is one of the main points of the new Pope's book dedicated Jesus, presented today at the Vatican. A text that focuses on the period "from the entrance into Jerusalem to the Resurrection", connecting to the previous volume published in 2007 which covered the period from his baptism to the transfiguration.
If there is time, said Benedict XVI, will deal in a forthcoming volume on the childhood of Jesus step size separation between religion and politics is contained in chapter seven, 'The trial of Jesus, in which Benedict XVI explains how came the condemnation of Christ, focusing on the figure of Caiaphas and Pilate.
The Pope stresses that the order in force at the time of Jesus, "the two dimensions - the political and religious - were, in fact, absolutely inseparable from each other." On this land joins "the specific interest in the power of the dynasty of Annas and Caiaphas, the high priests. And the decision to put Jesus to death, it weighed only a political concern, linked to the "legitimate concern to protect the temple and the people," but also "the selfish desire for power by the dominant group." Notwithstanding this point, "Jesus in his ad, and with all his work, he opened a non-political realm of the Messiah and began to pull apart the two companies, which had been inseparable.
But this separation of politics and faith, God's people and politics - the Pope notes - belonging to the essence of his message, he could, ultimately, only through the cross. " Resurrection, a mystery that goes beyond science. Papa Ratzinger speaks of the resurrection, a "paradox" that goes beyond science.
The resurrection of Jesus does not contradict the scientific data, but the reality is something that goes beyond science, something that tells us that "there is another dimension to that which we know so far," he writes. The Biblical evidence of resurrection, the Pope describes as "historically credible," say "something that does not fit into the world of our experience.
We are talking about something new, something hitherto only - we are talking about a new dimension of actually occurring. " Thus, "not disputed that the existing reality" but it opens "another dimension to that which we know so far," it said in the book. And more: the resurrected Jesus is not a reanimated corpse "designed in" a more or less short "to return to their previous life and at some point" finally die.
" His resurrection was the escape to a totally new kind of life towards a life no longer subject to the law of death and becoming, but placed beyond this - a life that has opened a new dimension of men ". Church in need. Today the church faces a difficult period, Ratzinger writes. "Even today, the ship of the Church, with winds of history, sailing across the ocean rough time.
We often have the impression that it should sink. But the Lord is present and is at the right time" with this account of the Pope speaks of the presence of Christ on earth after the resurrection, in a passage from the book. "The Jesus who takes leave does not go somewhere on a distant star," writes Ratzinger.
"He will enter into communion of life and power with the living God, in the situation of superiority of God over every space. This is not 'gone', but, under the same power of God, is now always present next to us and for us. " Pope explains: "Because Jesus is with his father, he is not far, but it's close to us.
Time is no longer in a single place in the world like before the ascension, and now in his power that transcends all space He is next to all and relied on by all - throughout history - and in all places. " Jews and Christians converse, Israel "holy people". The gospel "is to reach all peoples," the Pope recalls that, in a passage of the volume does not deny that this has created problems in relations between the Church and the Jews.
"There is always in the background - writes Ratzinger - the question about the mission of Israel. We see today with dismay how many misconceptions have serious consequences in this regard affected the centuries. A new reflection, however, recognize that in all obfuscations are always found to a just understanding.
" Pope calls for reconciliation between the Jewish and Christian interpretation of biblical writings, after centuries of conflict, in order to "correctly understand the will and the word of God," recognizing as its task to ensure that the "two ways" Reading Biblical converse "with each other." The people of Israel, we read in the Pope's book, considered as a holy people: "The process of consecration, 'sanctification'" includes a part of "segregation," a separation from the world and the other " a mission "for the world.
Two aspects of that "form a single complete reality." This "connection becomes very clear if we think the particular vocation of Israel." And "this is what is meant by the status of Israel as a 'holy people', says Ratzinger, in a broader discussion on the theme of consecration which also includes the Old Testament.
Christianity is not only a moral vision. The 'essence of Christianity "is not only a vision of" morality ", although capable of" extreme stress "of" loving to the willingness to sacrifice his life for the other ", but resides in the" gift of communion with Christ , living in Him. " "Liberal exegesis that Jesus said would replace the concept of ritual purity with the moral: instead of the cult and take over the morality of his world.
So Christianity is essentially a moral, a kind of 'reset' of ethics. But This does not do justice to the novelty of the new testament ", the Pope argues," Instead of ritual purity is not simply taken over the moral, but the gift of God in Jesus Christ, "writes Ratzinger, in particular, stresses that as "the devotion of the nineteenth century has again made the unilateral concept of purity, has increasingly reduced to the question of the order in sex, so even polluting it again with suspicion towards the material sphere, the body."
