Benedetto XVI, il Papa emerito. Ma soprattutto l’uomo del Monastero: l’ex convento di clausura incastonato in una radura appartata dei Giardini vaticani, dove si è trasferito nel maggio del 2013 dopo l’epocale rinuncia al pontificato.

Può essere un’opportunità per aprirsi al futuro, sapendo che il grande rischio è accontentarsi di sopravvivere, rimpiangendo un passato migliore. La soluzione è vivere nella crisi. La Chiesa oggi è chiamata a una condizione di lotta, questa volta non contro nemici esterni ma contro l’indifferenza e il discredito.

Nos anos 1970, os evangélicos representavam apenas 5% dos brasileiros; hoje, são um terço da população adulta do país e, segundo estatísticos, superarão os católicos na próxima década.

Who is Satan in the New Testament, and what is the evil that he represents? In this groundbreaking book, Elaine Pagels, Princeton's distinguished historian of religion, traces the evolution of Satan from its origins in the Hebrew Bible, where Satan is at first merely obstructive, to the New Testament, where Satan becomes the Prince of Darkness, the bitter enemy of God and man, evil incarnate. In The Origin of Satan, Pagels shows that the four Christian gospels tell two very different stories.
