Mike O’Malley:
I’ll add that Girardian theory explains how the Gospels themselves desacrilize the world and make rational science and secularism possible. Christianity functions as a demystifiying (demythifying) anti-religion without which the Modern World would be impossible. Wouldn’t you agree?
- I would indeed; and I rather suspect that Benedict himself has read Rene Girard and has to some degree been influenced by him and certainly by others, like von Balthasar, who have made of Christianity an anthropological science.
