“In ideologies there is not Jesus: in his tenderness, his love, his
meekness. And ideologies are rigid, always. Of every sign: rigid. And
when a Christian becomes a disciple of the ideology, he has lost the
faith: he is no longer a disciple of Jesus, he is a disciple of this
attitude of thought… For this reason Jesus said to them: ‘You have taken
away the key of knowledge.’ The knowledge of Jesus is transformed into
an ideological and also moralistic knowledge, because these close the
door with many requirements. The faith becomes ideology and ideology
frightens, ideology chases away the people, distances, distances the
people and distances of the Church of the people. But it is a serious
illness, this of ideological Christians. It is an illness, but it is not
new, eh?”
