Checklist
to meet the authors of "Essentials"
in the drafting of "The Life"

Many people today see religion as part of cultural heritage, but respectable "inoperative." More than one probably no one here would share that view. It becomes dominant, yet the church insists on its direct relationship with God, always renewable.
This statement is contradicted by sees the advertising practice of the church that wants to create an attractive image and comfortable for its business and its representatives. A strong example will illustrate what I mean. In the lives of Saint Francis disappear from the nineteenth century, the lice, but it is a historical truth that lice were the monks of the Middle Ages, a sign of contempt for the chair and also a sign of holy abandonment to the will of God.
the nineteenth century, the Church had cleaned his holy image, for reasons probably hygienic. At the same time the famous saint of hemp rope turned into a detail of costume now braided silk.
This observation may illuminate the current situation. The press which deals with spiritual matters is in a delicate situation see paradoxical. It must produce a good, pretty belts in silks, for example, everything from hemp to the bygone era.
So how? The river is there, thousands of people equipped with plates and forks, waiting to eat, lie on the coast. But missing fishermen to catch fish.
are fishermen may look suspicious, do not wear ties or not being sensitive to the instruments of manipulation and domination, which we are all subject. Thus there is great concern of Commons charismatic, too worldly bishops, nuns too hard. The four MPs had recently much leisure to attend to a Protestant sect. A TV announcer exclaimed, in respect of children of the sect: They live totally cut off from the world! They do not know the name of Zidane! As for these four members, so inked in the world, they knew what it meant to Tabitha in the name of the sect?
Religion classic, obviously, relatively little influence on people today, while the need for a comprehensive, synthetic or satisfied by science, more precisely, by its function fabulist. The words Big Bang is not a mathematical conclusion, it is an image, see parable.
Conversions of Christians to Islam indicate that the need for a global vision of the religious world is still there and if it is not satisfied by Christianity, another religion, a thousand times poorer but active, since the temperature exceeds a living personal faith ignites faster than the precepts of the catechism too corporate.
