Principle true humanism supreme dignity of every human person.
Bologna, 25 December. (Apcom) - - The truth of scientific research is always provisional, and only with Christmas humanity receives the "gift of the truth" and the principle of every true humanism, which is the "supreme dignity of every human person", but these the words that Cardinal Carlo Caffarra case during the homily for the celebration of Christmas Mass in the Cathedral of St. Peter in Bologna, concelebrated Mass with Auxiliary Bishop Ernesto Vecchi.
"Because of what has happened today, is coming to the grace, the gift of truth. But perhaps the man of today is so disconsolate and resigned that before this story repeats Pilate: What is the truth ?. who - Archbishop reiterates - you satisfied with that truth, however always provisional, which is the result of scientific research considered impossible knowledge of a reality beyond the boundaries of science. "
The truth given to the Christmas is "God's love for man. Not a new philosophical system, not a pure moral truth, not a reassuring political doctrine. Simply this truth: God loves l ' man, takes care of him ", a gift that makes man aware that" has not been cast in the cosmos and life by chance or by an obscure need. "
"Today is born the idea of person: the awareness that 'be someone' is different from and is more than 'be something'. Today Man discovers his dignity. Today - says Cardinal - was discovered the principle of every true humanism, and the criterion measure any progress: the supreme dignity of every human person ".
"" 'Christmas shows us that the measure of human dignity: the measure of human dignity is the man to be God. Man But then, the company who want to free themselves from this measure, really serve the cause ? Or not deprive the largest yield witness to the dignity of man and engaging in absolute and unconditional in its defense? What idea of man - are the questions with which Caffarra concludes his homily - trasmetteremmo to the younger generations deprives awareness of that measure? "
