Resumo: | When in October 2016 I started working on my book Jorge Mario Bergoglio. An intellectual biography I did not have the slightest idea of the importance played by the figure and work of Gaston Fessard in the formation of Bergoglio’s thought. There was nothing to suggest that Gaston Fessard could be a relevant author for the intellectual formation of the future Pope. I was struck by the polar and dialectical model of thought that animated him, the possibility of harmonizing opposites, of inviting concepts to a common table that apparently could not be approached, because it places them in a higher plane in which they find their synthesis. This paradigm, of the Church and of the Society of Jesus as complexio oppositorum, finds its verification, according to Bergoglio, in the way in which the Jesuits have achieved the inculturation of the faith in the indigenous peoples of Latin America. Bergoglio rereads Ignatius in the light of a dialectical model. As he will say in one of the interviews he gave me on the occasion of the writing of my book: “In Ignatian spirituality there is always this bipolar tension”. It is certainly an original, uncommon reading of Ignatius’s thought. It is the ideal factor that allows us to explain why Bergoglio, when in 1986 he went to Frankfurt to write his doctoral thesis, chose the Guardinian essay dedicated to the polar opposition. When I concluded my volume on the intellectual biography of the future Pontiff in February 2017, one element, however, remained obscure. Where, from which author had Bergoglio drawn his polar model? Where did your antinomic reading of Ignatian spirituality come from? Not by Guardini discovered philosophically in 1986. Francis indicated the starting point of his intellectual formation. The reading of Fessard’s La dialectique des Exercices spirituels de saint Ignace de Loyola, published in 1956, is the work that “had a great influence” on him. It is the work that clarifies Bergoglio’s antinomian thought, his subsequent ideal encounter with Guardini’s philosophy. |

Não havia nada que sugerisse que Gaston Fessard pudesse ser um autor relevante para a formação intelectual do futuro Papa. Fiquei impressionado com o modelo polar e dialético de pensamento que o animava, a possibilidade de harmonizar opostos, invocar conceitos para uma pauta comum que aparentemente não poderia ser abordada, pois os coloca em um plano superior na qual encontram sua síntese. Este paradigma, da Igreja e da Companhia de Jesus como opositor complexo, encontra sua verificação, segundo Bergoglio, na forma como os jesuítas conseguiram a inculturação da fé nos povos indígenas da América Latina. Bergoglio relê Ignatius à luz de um modelo dialético. Como ele dirá em uma das entrevistas que me deu por ocasião da redação do meu livro: "Na espiritualidade inaciana há sempre esta tensão bipolar". É certamente uma leitura original e pouco comum do pensamento de Inácio. Trata-se de um fator ideal que nos permite explicar por que Bergoglio, quando em 1986 foi a Frankfurt para escrever sua tese de doutorado, escolheu o ensaio guardiniano dedicado à oposição polar. Quando concluí minha obra sobre a biografia intelectual do futuro Pontífice, em fevereiro de 2017, um elemento, no entanto, permaneceu obscuro. De qual autor Bergoglio esboçou seu modelo polar? De onde veio sua leitura antinômica da espiritualidade inaciana? Não foi descoberto por Guardini filosoficamente em 1986. Francisco indicou o ponto de partida de sua formação intelectual. A leitura de La dialectique des Exercices spirituels de saint Ignace de Loyola, de Fessard, publicada em 1956, é a obra que "teve uma grande influência" sobre ele. É a obra que esclarece o pensamento antinomiano de Bergoglio, seu posterior encontro ideal com a filosofia de Guardini.Editora PUC Minas2021-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/article/view/2781410.5752/P.2175-5841.2021v19n59p852HORIZONTE - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religião; v. 19, n. 59, maio/ago. 2021 - Dossiê - Pontificado de Francisco: mudanças e perspectivas; 852HORIZONTE - Journal of Studies in Theology and Religious Sciences; The pontificate of Francis: changes and perspectives; 8522175-5841reponame:Horizonte - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religiãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)instacron:PUC_MINSporhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/article/view/27814/19637Copyright (c) 2021 HORIZONTE - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religiãohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBorghesi, MassimoBurocchi, Áurea Marin 2022-04-11T11:59:12Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/27814Revistahttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonteONGhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/oaihorizonte.pucminas@gmail.com2175-58411679-9615opendoar:2022-04-11T11:59:12Horizonte - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religião - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)false |
