"Modern man cannot understand... how the Resurrection of Jesus could be an event that unleashed a vital force that man can now make his own through the sacraments. This seems absurd to the biologist, since death is not a problem for him. The idealist, of course, speaks of a life that escapes death, but cannot imagine that this life is given by the fact that a dead person returns to physical life. God's action, which in these conditions would give life back to man, seems to him incomprehensibly inserted into the course of nature. He cannot recognize God's action as something that touches him personally in this natural event, which is as miraculous as the resurrection of a dead person, which, on the other hand, is unbelievable."
