There is wisdom in these words. Only it would polish of "innocence" perhaps too optimistic. That genius (which some would relegate too hastily to storage of the obsolete and the pope, his student, recalled recently) called Romano Guardini and warned of the trap presumed innocence, he did comment on Jesus said " become like children, "the child of a day, said Guardini, and inherently evil with it, hidden inside, asleep, but is there . I remember that he was saying Guardini (where I have got my copy of The Lord , that edition in two volumes of the collection Rialp Patmos?) That the presumption of childhood innocence is a nostalgia that adults are believed to possess something that old, but really never had.
would have to find another term, and although this objection seems to render meaningless the claims of Roger of Taizé, his words still contain a great deal of truth, since it is not so much the noun but the adjective, not the "innocence" but that's something you have inside has sometimes been hurt deeply and disturbingly.
