is no doubt that his theological studies are due to misunderstandings and, sometimes, of "excommunication" preventive, where they should contribute to the deepening of the Word of God for a greater understanding of the mystery of the Christ, his message of salvation, sometimes way too watered down in the human or spiritualized to the point of making it far from the concrete reality of man.
The Pontifical Biblical Commission with the document "The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church" of 1993 has clearly explained that "exegesis Catholic must [...] to maintain its identity as a theological discipline, whose main aim is the deepening of faith. This does not mean a lesser commitment to the most rigorous scientific research, or the deformation of the methods because of concerns apologetic. Each area of \u200b\u200bresearch (textual criticism, linguistic studies, literary analysis, etc..) Has its own rules, to be followed independently. But none of these specialties is an end in itself. Overall organization of the exegetical task, orientation towards the main goal is to remain effective and to avoid waste of energy. Catholic exegesis does not have the right to look like a course water that is lost in the sands of hypercritical analysis. Meets in the Church and the world, a vital function: to contribute to a more authentic transmission of the content of inspired Scripture. "
However, if you need to preserve the unity, is also no doubt assumed that "interpretation must necessarily be pluralistic. No particular interpretation can exhaust the meaning of the whole, that is a symphony of many voices. The interpretation of a particular text is therefore not to be exclusive. " Nobody has the monopoly of interpretation then, which requires contributions humble and generous, shall avoid the temptation to establish that there is a kind of dogma interpretation. That said, we can not fail to emphasize, for example, the thought of St. Catherine of Siena, according to which Christ is the exegete par excellence: the more we are united to know Christ more deeply on the Scriptures. So in summary, if we can not do without the Bible studies, in any case we stress that the deeper meaning of S. Scriptures is revealed by the Lord to people's consciences. The Holy Spirit illuminates the past, those who lack human knowledge, but not according to God's wisdom makes you think the fact that the Virgin Mary turned out to be a humble people, never the wise of the earth. In them there spesso supponenza, distinguo, esercizio di lana caprina, mentre negli umili c’รจ accoglienza incondizionata e fede limpida. E la differenza, forse, sta tutta qui.
