"Through the process of unification, everything that is distinctive must necessarily tend to fade and disappear. Only what has common value is destined to become more pronounced and an object of faith. It is precisely this fact that clarifies the current conflict between generations. The values in which fathers believe are still regional ones, and the values to which their children are drawn are those of a world in the process of unification. An in-depth analysis of what characterises the current common life of peoples allows us to understand the move towards an increasingly undifferentiated conception and practice. What is destined to prevail is what is recognised as valid by all, and everything that corresponds to particular traditions can only be saved if it manages to become an accepted part of the common discourse. (from “La protesta dei giovani”, pp. 81–82)"
