| Summary: | Paul VI was often referred to as the first modern pope. A qualifying trait of the modern, the subject's epic, is the primacy of conscience. The term conscience, moreover, knows in the modern era a semantic shift, from the moral to the psychological sense. It makes its primacy ambiguous, which threatens to become the seal of the transition from the necessary anthropocentric turning to an impossible anthropolatric turn. Once the original reference to God or to the sacred has been erased, the conscience simply dissolves. The primacy of conscience is accompanied in Paul VI's insistence on his "ecstatic" trait; it has always been addressed to the other (the dialogue) and above all to God. The conscience exists in the end only in the form of faith; of a faith that has always existed and seeks its own object. The respect for the conscience does not imply in this sense the cautious extraneousness towards the other, on the contrary the search for a practical proximity with him, which determines the sense of the original emotional proximity. The dramatic form of the conscience distinguishes its conception of the primacy of conscience from that of modern secular liberalism; it does not sanction the mutual strangeness of the consciences, but their "condemnation" to seek themselves. |
