Letter to a Priest

Letter to a Priest

Letter to a Priest encapsulates the sharp wit and questioning nature of Simone Weil. Regarded by Susan Sontag as 'one of the most uncompromising and troubling witnesses to the modern travail of the spirit', Weil grips the moral imagination as few others before or since. She was only thirty four when she died in 1943, yet despite her short life she left behind an incredible body of literature. Letter to a Priest, addressed to Father Joseph-Marie Perrin, a Catholic priest who Weil met in Marseilles, is one of her most powerful pieces. Written at a time when those who knew her considered her to be 'like a soul in torment whose thinking had all the signs of a deep inner conflict', it contains thirty five powerful expressions of opinion on matters concerning Catholic faith, dogma and institutions. Vehement and controversial, yet eloquent and moving, it is essential reading for anyone who has questions about faith and belief.

Acest eseu sub forma de scrisoare trateaza punctele de poticnire ale autoarei cu privire la crestinism. Axata pe elementele Vechiului Testament si pe invataturile crestinismului care se regasesc sub forme asemanatoare si in alte religii, cartea trateaza critic pedepsele la care este supus poporul evreu de catre Dumnezeu, punand sub semnul intrebarii neindurarea lui Dumnezeu in aceste situatii, dar si neacceptarea de catre crestini a validitatii experientelor mistice ale celorlalte religii, care, in opinia autoarei, se construiesc pe elemente similare cu crestinismul (prezenta unui Mantuitor, accentul pe interiorizare si experienta mistica etc). Se alcatuieste astfel o spovedanie a atitudinii unei persoane care se convertise la crestinism fata de propria religie. Autoarea vrea sa afle, prin rezolvarea dilemelor expuse, daca exista o compatibilitate intre modul ei propriu de interiorizare a crestinismului si invataturile Bisericii. Cu toate acestea, mi se pare ca in ciuda cautarii foarte informate, sincere si lucide, autoarea ignora multe dogme crestine care ar putea aduce o anumita iluminare asupra acestor puncte contondente semnalate.
