Abstract

At the time of the crisis of Christendom, we can be left with two apparently opposite attitudes: either «delusional» or «absolutist». But both seem to have in common the impossibility of thinking of Christianity beyond the limits of Christendom. Between these extremes the wise person draws another possibility in the rereading of the conciliar category of the Church's sacramentality in terms of its responsibility to all of humanity. A liturgical confirmation has been given of that through an analysis of the Eucharistic Prayer; and an existential confirmation through the blending of the event of Etty Hillesum and Dietrich Bonhoeffer
