There are difficult questions (this is the only thing that matters) that always catch up with when we do not take time to dig them. This seems to be a case of secularism that we believe we can cope with laws than to answer them by other questions. Laws are necessary, but when they precede this long idea, they look impatient, they believe they can erase problems rather than using them to let time sorted between accessories and necessary, as well ».
The chance means I read this text of the same day I accompanied a friend who answered the invitation of a friend who gathered funds to restore the Church in our neighborhood. When I entered the church of Sainte-Madeleine of Outremont only twice or three times on the occasion of the funeral, I didn’t know this story called Hubert Sacy and which brings us back to the latest film Denys Arcand, Will.
Between 1924-1925, the painter Guido Nincheri, nicknamed “Michelangelo of Montreal”, painted the walls and ceilings of this church, which was covered with white painting after the Vatican II, who believed that the church would approach faithful by leaving Latin and eraking all these religious frescoes. In this way, the Church only maintained the Holy name and sacrificed the neutrality of the whiteness of two or three beautiful Madeleine, one at the foot of the cross and the other standing near the carpet, which probably served as a workplace.
One wonders what visible has lost “hiding this breast and this holy, which we do not see”, which visible loses by cutting off from his invisible extensions. Is it a coincidence that at the moment I stopped going to church when they got rid of religious features, sacred music and Latin uncertainties, gave their faithful to the depth of the White Edity, popular songs and psychopop households? According to our guide, it is true that all these marfted images, even admirable, “it was a little busy”.
The question, as always, is to find a balance between too large and not enough that rises and what it crushes, what envelopes and what they suffocate. If we kept the windows of stain glass, it is because it seemed obvious, even for the Vatican II that the church windows must filter the external. Our guide teaches us that one of the painters of buildings, who cannot decide to cover the very beautiful head and Don’t know the holy, saved her by cutting the canvas on which she was painted.
In his film Arcand lends the same stains to one of two painters who have to make an image XIX disappearE century illustrating meetings of white and red leather. At the end of the film, Arcand imagines that the Chinese, forty years later, restore this fresco and give hearing that we have to learn to see what we refused to see by letting our eyes transform, because history, like everything that lives, is Palimps.
In the genius of Leonardo da Vinci, Valers see this “deep education, which consists of defeating basic education to see more things than we know”. Back to secularism: She wanted to decide among the invisible (religious) visible (layman), it risk that she sees.
It writes Rioux Soucy that he “fulfilled his party in his legislative reaction” to the abuse of the Bedford School, Minister of Education, Bernard Dainville, did not see on the one hand that “on the one hand” that “on the one hand” does not exist; On the other hand, the real problems were “the rejection of equality of women and men, the denial of secularism, the management of the school without spring and educational inability”. The opponents of his project “could not see more than a veil and a full veil, which is under the nose, suddenly” eventually moved the necessary “, which is to” clarify the concepts of culture and religion “.
I believe I could teach students who wear the whole veil, because if I do not, who will do it, who will expose them to a different culture than their own, which exposes me to a different culture than the TANA, who will see these women that political regimes make invisible for some reason?
Questions: Has the Vatican II revived the beliefs of his believers by leaving him with his religious signs? Did we improve the fate of the natives by eraseing the representations of colonialism that were victims? Is the defense of French language through secularism and the defense of Quebec culture by denial of its religious past? Can culture live without a relationship with a transcendent? There is no education that forces us to constantly move from visible to invisible and invisible to visible in the same way as Léonard, after he learned to “see more things than he thought”, “begins to appear invisible sets that are given to him (…)? »
Ideal: Learn to see things that our idea hides us and imagine them to think better.
IN Quebec to adulthoodNicolas Lévesque writes “that there is no doubt about the return to religious, but about the current care of what was previously responsible for religion, otherwise we remain adolescents”. “Dreaming of politicians who would overlap from the main scene and bring a sign of another dimension, the relationship of humanity to this once called the” transcendental “limit, which escapes” or believers or unbelieving “dichotomy”. It would be attacking the resources of the problem and not just his symptoms … ”.
I can return to my neighborhood church when it welcomes saints and holy people again, days when no religious offices will hunt for silence.
