" "[...] we live in times in which we run the risk of losing the meaning of study and seeing it only as functional to a job. Certainly study 'serves' man and also helps him to find his place in the world as a worker. The risk, however, is that of living study in an occasional and functional manner, and no longer as a strong and valuable life experience. The Christian presence in a study environment such as the university must therefore first and foremost aim not to add activity to other activities, but to help the young student live his main activity: study, in a Christian manner. Much less can Christian formation and academic study be considered in competition with each other.

Interviewer: Well Salvini out of government? Antonio Spadaro: It is not clear how this will end. In any case, Salvini's role in the League's sovereignist mutation, after twenty years in which the party has expressed real capacity for government rooted in the territory will have to be investigated. From green it has turned black. For me the question, after the bathing coup, is the relationship between Salvini, a charismatic personality who has absorbed the party into himself, and the League itself. The question is what the right in Italy can be. A question that has never been resolved.
È esperienza comune l'aver frequentato una biblioteca. Entrare nella sala di consultazione è come varcare una soglia tra il mondo dei rumori e quello del silenzio. Le persone che si incontrano appaiono, in genere, concentrate su ciò che stanno leggendo con un atteggiamento del corpo che sembra esprimere una profonda attenzione. Gli ambienti, il silenzio, la concentrazione che si «respira» nell'aria sembrano richiamare, per certi aspetti, l'ingresso in una chiesa e la preghiera. L'uomo che studia e l'uomo che prega sembrano assumere atteggiamenti simili. Quest'analogia è molto fruttuosa per la riflessione e spinge a pensare naturalmente a una spiritualità dello studio. Lo studioso cristiano è fortemente sollecitato a interrogarsi su come la sua attività e la preghiera possano convivere nella propria vita interiore.
Christianity is not an encyclopaedia of contents and values, nor a list of battles to be fought, but an openness to the surprise of God. Without the experience of his Real Presence, without the encounter with the person of Christ, Christianity becomes a rigid ideology. But beware! God is to be sought and found everywhere in the world. He is present and active in the world and in history. He is not necessarily where we think He is.
