Ale nas zbaw ode złego. Josepha Ratzingera/Benedykta XVI remedium na kryzys Kościoła
Kuliński, Dariusz (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2020)
The reality of evil is an inseparable element of human existence. Jesus expresses this in the last prayer of the Lord. J. Ratzinger/Benedict XVI undertook the interpretation of the call but saved us from evil in Jesus of Nazareth. He noticed that human life polarizes between God and the evil one, implying – depending on the choice made – specific effects, good or evil. Therefore, the experience of evil is born of rejecting God as the only Lord who should be obeyed. The church – as the retired Pope noted – found itself in the current crisis succumbing to evil, and thus removing God from his first place and center of his existence, as well as disobedience and disregard of the Lord’s will. Summoning the last prayer of prayer, Our Father clearly shows that the Church will not solve this crisis alone. The only possible option is conversion and faith, giving up human solutions and re-trust and entrustment to God.
