As I have shown in more detail elsewhere, the prevailing rationalism nourishes three main orientations among Christians: abstract, moralistic doctrinairism; disembodied spiritualism; the pragmatism. The first two orientations are not a little lacking in the approach to concrete life. The third throws himself into it to the point of watering down, of losing, of homogenizing, the references.
Thus moralism and spiritualism are overwhelmed by the technique with its effectiveness in some respects. The mere practice of pragmatism by emptying people turns out to be useful and in various ways consonant with the prevalence of technique. Fruits of rationalism, these orientations are subjugated by the apparent excessive power of mere technicality.
But the return to the human, to the discernment of the spiritual and psychophysical conscience, of the heart, in the light leads to the gradual receipt of the gift of Jesus, God and man, of the Spirit who descends to measure, like a dove, not trampling but gently making the the humanity of each.
In this direction man can find a way that frees him from the logic of the apparatuses of mere technique. In fact, the three trends mentioned above, as observed, failing to find an adequate relationship with concrete life, subject man to technology and end up putting him in competition, increasingly losing, with the robot he created.
The path of embodied maturation, made to measure, can instead make man and machine increasingly complementary. Where people are helped to mature, right from school, in the freely sought identity and in distinct moments in the exchange with seekers of other visions of life, one is stimulated to grow towards real human well-being, an embodied growth.
In this context every knowledge can develop more fully, every aspect of life is lived in a more truly realistic and adequate way. A more mature society is not helpless in the face of the overwhelming power of a mere technical society but instead outclasses the latter in every field. The society of mere technology is taking great strides towards emptying out, collapsing. Will this growing decay force us to new horizons? Will there be a stimulus for everyone from a Church that has matured in the overflow of orientations hitherto often in conflict towards the beyond of Jesus, God and man, which harmonizes and surpasses them? …
