26:52Now Playing“In the human dream of a perfect world, holiness is always visualized as untouchability by sin and evil.” We tend “to think in terms of black and white... to cut out and reject mercilessly [whatever we consider] negative. But Christ’s “holiness expressed itself precisely as mingling with sinners ... to the point where he himself was made ‘to be sin’ ... (see 2 Cor 5:21; Gal 3:13). He has drawn sin to himself, made it his lot and so revealed what true ‘holiness’ is: not separation, but union, not judgment, but redeeming love... Is there not revealed in the unholy holiness of the Church, as opposed to man’s expectation of purity, God’s true holiness, which is love, love which does not keep its distance in a sort of aristocratic, untouchable purity, but mixes with the dirt of the world, in order thus to overcome it?”
