WHO ARE THEY II ?
“…(Pope) Benedict explained that Dante’s Divine Comedy had inspired him to write his first encyclical on love. (Deus Caritas Est) In the inner light of Dante’s paradise, we do not encounter a still brighter light, but instead the gentle face of a human being: the face of Jesus Christ. The fact that God has a “human face” is the moving climax of Dante’s journey from hell to paradise.”
Paul Badde, Inside the Vatican, March, 2006, page 8.
