despite being stronger because it is pervasive and supranational (good job! you got it!), the church will become extinct, as the process of secularization has significantly intensified over the decades. And you know this very well, you Catholics: the fact that you did not answer my little questions regarding declines in vocations and so on proves it, as you preferred to reiterate (like a good Catholic) the supposed longevity and superiority of the church institution over any other institution-doctrine-philosophical system. I use “teenage quips” just to bring myself down to your level. After all, you’re the one who started throwing in various girls, right? If you can’t handle it, give up. I promise mercy, kid.

Well, dear Fabietta (can I? You’re quite likable!), I’ll sing it to you and play it for you. In other words, you come to conclusions that I haven't even touched upon. But let’s go in order: 1. Since my first comment, I have supported Aliosha's thesis: isn’t that enough for you? I think like him, why should I repeat concepts already expressed by others? 2. The church is talked about “in passing and incidentally”? EHHHH? I’m not going to quote excerpts from the review, but you've really gone overboard here, my dear Fabietta: I reiterate that the review is INSTRUMENTAL; it’s just a pretext to talk about church, faith, and religion. Not that it's a bad thing, of course; you’re free to do it, but then don’t be surprised if someone uncovers the trick and attacks you where it hurts. You have to accept that, you really do. 3. “The fact of being Catholic causes dysfunctions in sexual personality”: well, not necessarily, but it helps :) Jokes aside, I’ve never claimed anything like that. You’re the one saying it, not me. Are we a bit defensive, dear Fabietta?

you don't understand a thing. National? supra-national? do I need to draw you a picture? you can't compare the power of a state with that (I repeat: political-economic) held by the Catholic Church. You like to win easy, huh? anyway, since you care so much, I’ll give you the reason. At least you hit something feminine ;) bye bye, jerk-off (strictly with a u).

young rebel all fired up go tell it to someone else, 'cause I bet your mouth, compared to mine, still reeks a lot of milk. Not to mention that Marxist doctrines have never been applied coherently to any political regime (neither Stalin, nor Pol Pot, nor Castro, no one), but anyway, can you compare the power of a nation-state to that of religion, which is by nature supra-national? You don’t know what you’re talking about, altar boy. Anyway, you stay calm because you’re not getting any, you’ve got that typical blissful air that little priests like you have. Then maybe the girl is killing you with her blows, who knows. I’m definitely holding it down, I’m holding it down all the time.

"previous comments-previous comment" Acc...

@FABIA: look, the interpretation of who represents this blessed inquisitor, which seems very dear to you (just to support your personal thesis that the inquisitor is the devil), has already been well expressed by the user Aliosha in the previous comments. I think I mentioned this in my previous comment. So, no narcissism here, baby. I challenge your religious beliefs because your review is instrumental: you review D. only to have the pretext to talk about Catholicism: a typical "evangelizer" attitude, yours. @JOSI: I suspect that my girlfriend does her duty much more than yours... the church is dying, yes indeed. Does "vocational crisis" ring a bell? Beyond your circle of Catholic boys, how many young people do you know who follow your absurd precepts? How many young people come to mass? You're in bad shape, my friend. You continue to survive only thanks to the political and economic power of the Vatican (a power that many doctrines lacked which, as you say, have become obsolete). But soon, you will die out. Because you are Evil. Brrr......

@FABIA: To conclude: I just re-read your first comment: you define this book as nihilistic and decadent. I mean, you really don't understand a damn thing. Apart from the fact that you probably don't know the meaning of the terms you've mentioned, if you could try to look beyond your shabby Catholic bigotry, you would easily understand that Miller is an author who CELEBRATES life and the power that freedom of thought and expression gives. In fact, the good Henry lived for over 80 years, spending his old age on the beaches and in the sun of California. Oh yes, what a "decadent" image...

God does not exist. The inquisitor is not the devil, but man. As Alyosha rightly says, D. was Orthodox, strongly opposed to the Roman church. So, in the book, the inquisitor represents your church, dear Fabia. Which, yes, has lost its way. Which, yes, no longer speaks to the people. Which, yes, is dwindling. Long live relativism, since I don’t want your ships, your maps, your lighthouses. Of course, I didn't like the review.

you have intrigued me.

Ah, I almost forgot: glory, glory, glory to DLF!
