Archbishop Georg Gänswein, the secretary of the former Benedict XVI, criticised Munich Cardinal Marx for having slammed Bavaria's decision to display crosses in all public buildings.
Talking to the anti-Catholic German weekly Zeit(May 16), Gänswein called this a "not very enlightened statement".
I'm with him on this one.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that His Excellency is using the term 'enlightened' in a very different sense than it has historically. The philosophes of the Enlightenment are the fathers of Cardinal Marx(ist)'s thinking. In that sense his remark was very enlightened, but I agree with the tenor of the Archbishop's remark. He just used a confusing term.
DeleteGeorg I mean.
