Michel Onfray: "The mass in Latin, a liturgical heritage"

2021-07-18T18:54:16.749Z


TRIBUNE - The writer and philosopher *, although an atheist, sees in the Catholic Church and its rites the pulse of our civilization. He explains why Pope Francis' decision to restrict mass in Latin dismays him.


I am an atheist, as we know, but the life of the Catholic Church interests me because it gives the pulse of our Judeo-Christian civilization, which is in bad shape.

Because if God is not of my world, my world is the one made possible by the God of Christians.

No matter what those who think France begins with the Declaration of Human Rights say, which is as stupid as believing that Russia was born in October 1917, Christianity has shaped a civilization of mine and whom I believe that I can love and defend her without beating my heart, without having to ask forgiveness for her faults, without waiting for a redemption after confession, contrition and kneeling.

It's crazy how those who are repugnant to Christianity by saying that it did not take place find themselves impregnated with it like rum the baba that we know!
