Ult& Joy, which was the small publicity of the pagan, is the gigantic secret of the Christian. And as I close this chaotic volume I open again the strange small book from which all Christianity came; and I am again haunted by a kind of confirmation. The tremendous figure which fills the Gospels towers in this respect, as in every other, above all the thinkers who ever thought themselves tall. His pathos was natural, almost casual. The Stoics, ancient and modern, were proud of concealing their tears. He never concealed His tears; He showed them plainly on His open face at any daily sight, such as the far sight of His native city. Yet He concealed something. Solemn supermen and imperial diplomatists are proud of restraining their anger. He never restrained His anger. He flung furniture down the front steps of the Temple, and asked men how they expected to escape the damnation of Hell. Yet He restrained something. I say it with reverence; there was in that shattering personality a thread that must be called shyness. There was something that He hid from all men when He went up a mountain to pray. There was something that He covered constantly by abrupt silence or impetuous isolation. There was some one thing that was too great for God to show us when He walked upon our earth; and I have sometimes fancied that it was His mirth.
Христос-Бог скрывает свой смех - об этом пишет Честертон. В частонсти, он опирается на то, что вот в Евангелии Христос-Человек не показан смеющимся.
Я Вам не теорему про Христа доказываю, и не судью пытаюсь убедить вынести вердикт в свою пользу. Я возражаю на тему смеха как главного орудия покаяния. Честертона я привел как пример симпатичного Вам католика (раз уж многочисленные св. Отцы, католиками тоже признаваемые за святых и Докторов Церкви, Вам не авторитеты). Но, в общем, не стоит это и продолжать...
Ну, в ханжестве, лицемерии, фарисействе =) В гордыне, короче, которую мы прячем за негодованием против ближних. я на Вас линк дал, рядом со ссылкой на Пирогова - уж не сочтите тоже за "обличение нечестивицы", а то я теперь боюсь =) http://a-karloff.livejournal.com/341315.html
