The Christian may indeed want to live for men, but he is often not enough of a man himself. He is very ready to save others, but he has never learned properly to swim himself.

Is not the lack of genuine, complete humanity particularly with official representatives and exponents of the Churches the reason why being a Christian is disregarded or rejected as an authentically human possibility? Must we not strive for the best possible development of the individual: a humanization of the whole person in all his dimensions, including instinct and feeling? Being human ought to be complementary to being a Christian. The Christian factor must be made effective, not at the expense of the human, but for the benefit of the latter.
