"We must start anew from the Paschal Event to encounter our European culture. Christianity carries in its heart a "death of God", a night, that went beyond any cultural proclamation of the nothingness or of the "death of God". In the reason for Christ on the Cross we can find all the reasons of man. I believe that this is the most breathtaking point in the encounter between Christian annunciation and our European culture."
