Gino Cerutti
Italian
"When I read the catechism of the Council of Trent, it seems as if I had nothing in common with the religion there set forth. (..) When I read the New Testament, the mystics, the liturgy, when I watch the celebration of the Mass, I feel with a sort of conviction that this faith is mine or, to be more precise, would be mine without the distance placed between it and me by my imperfection."
"I do not see how I can avoid the conclusion that my vocation is to be a Christian outside the Church"
Simone Weil, Letter to a Priest
