ABSTRACT
Between the 1960s and the 1990s the destruction and scars of the Second World War appeared healed and about to be forgotten. Industrialized societies, powerfully driven forward by the needs of reconstruction, seemed launched on a path of pragmatically sensible development, without unexpected shocks. Divine Providence is leading us to a new order of human relations which, through the intervention of men and moreover beyond their very expectation, are developing towards the fulfilment of Its higher, unseen designs. And everything, even human diversity, is laid out for the greater good of the Church. To instrumentalize the human person, even for the goal of universal salvation, or with the prospect of the redemption of mankind, so as to draw it from the original fall and free the individual from the obsessive “remembrance of the forbidden fruit,” meant to mistake or betray its essential prerogatives.
