Jesus was a politician because he has declared war on the disorder that prevailed in the social reality of his time and has struggled to establish justice, the kingdom of God Some of those who followed him would have preferred more active in terms of use of force. Jesus disappointed them: it was rather mild, peaceful and not at all vindictive.
But the ideas he expressed so clearly. Jesus was a man of yes or no, never "ni", never said "let's see ..." [1] As the theologian Mauro Pesce wrote: "In his struggle can be no victory or defeat, never compromise. The will of God as he understands it is not a mediator, can not be softened. "
We, too, as good Christians, we need to work (read fight) to change this society, the pervasive mentality that wants to gospel principles in last place, confined within the walls of the parish or implanted in only those actions that spot all of us, in our lifetime, we (a donation, an act of generosity, etc.).. We often forget that it is instead our whole life must be permeated by the Gospel message. Our commitment in this society is therefore also a political commitment. Continued attention to the other that live around us, at work, at school, we meet on the street. look a bit 'more difficult, then, should be processing, the development of this policy to "social" in political "party". The two things should be at one with each other. base that works and is in daily contact with the "polis" and the leaders who have the mandate to serve everyone in a more organized, responsible, caring, forward-looking .
The problem with this argument is that though we are already utopia. Just look at the current situation. ... Today is Sunday We have no time to think about it a bit '.
good week.
[1] Mt 5, 37 Let your speech be yes, yes, no, no more than this comes from evil.
