Tali immagini vengono da loro applicate non alla religione, ma alla cultura del tempo, in particolare alla filosofia e alla poesia, le quali, secondo loro, avrebbero attinto a Mos\u00e8. I primi cristiani non hanno mai fatto proprio alcun elemento della religione pagana, mentre non si sono fatti scrupolo di adottare le categorie dell\u2019ellenismo addirittura per esprimere la loro fede. La preoccupazione dei cristiani dei primi secoli non era il dialogo interreligioso, ma l\u2019inculturazione del Vangelo.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-side-deleted\"></td><td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td><td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><div>\u00a0</div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-side-deleted\"></td><td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td><td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Una conferma a questo, che \u00e8 stato l\u2019atteggiamento della Chiesa di tutti i tempi fino al Vaticano II, la troviamo in Padre Matteo Ricci (1552-1610). Solitamente il missionario gesuita viene proposto come antesignano dell\u2019attuale dialogo interreligioso, vista la sua simpatia nei confronti del confucianesimo. Ma non si tiene conto che tale simpatia scaturiva proprio dalla \u00abconsape\u00advolezza che nessun elemento vi era nel confucianesimo che potesse far pensare ad una religione \u2026 il confucianesimo, lungi dal presentarsi alla stregua di una religione, perseguiva lo scopo di dare una giusta e retta amministrazione al gover\u00adno del paese\u00bb (Franco Di Giorgio). Al contrario, Padre Ricci non si fece scrupolo di criticare il taoismo e il buddismo, che considerava inconciliabili col cristianesimo.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-side-deleted\"></td><td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td><td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><div>\u00a0</div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-side-deleted\"></td><td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td><td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Ci si potrebbe dunque chiedere se, su questo punto, il Concilio non rappresenti una rottura con la tradizione o, piuttosto, una sua legittima evoluzione. Non sta a me dare una risposta a questa domanda, che pure costituisce un problema di capitale importanza. L\u2019unica cosa che posso dire \u00e8 che non mi sembra corretto affermare, come fa Giovanni Paolo II nella Redemptor hominis, che \u00abi Padri della Chiesa vedevano nelle diverse religioni quasi altrettanti riflessi di un\u2019unica verit\u00e0 come \u201cgermi del Verbo\u201d\u00bb. Un Papa ha tutta l\u2019autorit\u00e0 di interpretare la rivelazione, ma non ha autorit\u00e0 di stravolgere la storia.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td class=\"diff-marker\"></td><td class=\"diff-context diff-side-deleted\"><br></td><td class=\"diff-marker\"></td><td class=\"diff-context diff-side-added\"><br></td></tr>\n<tr><td class=\"diff-marker\"></td><td class=\"diff-context diff-side-deleted\"><div>Consult the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Contents User&#039;s Guide] for information on using the wiki software.</div></td><td class=\"diff-marker\"></td><td class=\"diff-context diff-side-added\"><div>Consult the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Contents User&#039;s Guide] for information on using the wiki software.</div></td></tr>\n"
