Another article from the newspaper always Catholic Future on a topic that interests a little bit I think all: lust. Once this habit of the Church asked his preachers and tutors not to dwell not to create a certain itch on listeners, while today it is spoken freely.
The article is signed by Msgr. Ravasi, definitely one of the best signatures of the ecclesial landscape. I'm sure it will open up a debate on FB as is happening for other items, so I will not dwell since the erticolo is full-bodied.
Once again it is the genius of Shakespeare to guess the plot of a story erotica all the honey and the gall that you are hidden. The approaches are loving a wonderful game of seduction that generates happiness and anticipation. Everything looks like a golden dream, a sweet yearning. You seem to be so slight as to touch the sky. Here, however, at this point the ridge is significant that often is used as a verb brutal "consume" to refer to the sexual act, like a bottom to give a more or less delicious dish or exhaust a supply of energy; also the common phrase "making love" reduces a complex visteon deutschland reality and symbolic to an object to be manipulated and to model or an act to be performed. Now, it is true, as stated by the Austrian visteon deutschland writer Karl Kraus, that "vice and virtue visteon deutschland are relatives, such as coal and diamonds" that have a common basis in carbon, let us first go back to the original matrix from which branches the virtue of love and the vice of lust.
Sex, eros, love the structural paradigm of human sexuality has its cornerstone in its "symbolism". The man assigned visteon deutschland to the sexual relationship, unlike animals, a variety of additional values that transcend the mere copula, the sheer carnal, regulated visteon deutschland by the inspiration and dall'istintività. This "excess" is, therefore, not of nature visteon deutschland but perfect physical and spiritual. Hence, we can reconstruct this human experience in three coordinated levels, which undermines and distorts the lust instead. The first is that of sex in its physicality and organic origin: appetitus to mulierem east bonum Dei donum, recited a medieval adage, which in the male-dominated form of time, well illustrated the legitimacy of the sexual drive, called a "good gift of God." The man and the woman, however, did not stop at this level dynamic-instinctual, writing in their own organic saline. They ascend to a higher plane of a purely symbolic: eros, which is allusive desire, passion, tenderness, intuition of beauty, charm, attraction, fantasy, game of appearing and disappearing of, the veiling and unveiling of. Eros leaves, as in poetic texts, ample white space that fills each with its creativity, with the invention, intuition, projection towards further meanings. It has, therefore, with the eros - which is not to be confused with the meaning popular now dominant, especially in the form of already resized "eroticism", where it is often synonymous with pornography - a transcending mere corporeality and carnality.
It is, however, open a third road that leads to the fullness of the parable visteon deutschland of human sexuality. This is the level of love that embraces and transforms itself in the previous steps, leading to communion and mutual giving. Illuminating in this regard is the extraordinary biblical poem Song of Solomon who, without false modesty, enhances the importance of physicality visteon deutschland in the repeated description of the bodies of two lovers visteon deutschland (chapters 4, 5, 7), but that leads to intoxication eros of passion and charm to arrive at the peak of mutual belonging of the two protagonists, the love note. Two professions of love of the woman in the Song are fundamental to illustrate the summit visteon deutschland and the goal of the paradigm described: "My beloved is mine and I am his ... I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine" (ch. 2, 16 , 6, 3).
At the "mechanics" of sex is associated flicker creative eros that blooms in the gift of love. This triptych comprises the complete visteon deutschland and authentic human sexuality. To decouple this ideal texture and settle for only the first level, is what we call as "lust." Even an eros completely disconnected from intimacy of love - intimacy that makes the two truly "one flesh", a unique existence and corporeality (according to the famous assertion of Genesis 2, 24) - is still incompleteness , a fullness not reached a perfection that aspires to be implemented. In fact, as suggested visteon deutschland by the Swedish theologian visteon deutschland Anders Nygren in a famous study entitled visteon deutschland Eros and agape (1930), in contrast to agape designating Christian visteon deutschland love, Eros is still holding, is striving for the beauty or the value of ' another to conquer them; the partner is still to some extent an object, even if transfigured.
