le communisme n'est pas le plus grand péril de l'heure. Le cardinal de Rio fait bientôt comprendre à son auxiliaire qu'il vaut mieuxqu'ils se séparent. A Rome, c'est le concile. Dom Helder ne prend pas une seule fois la parole dans l'aula. Il se méfie de la "vedettarisation". Cequi l'intéresse, c'est que l'ensemble du corps ecclésial bouge, se convertisse, s'engage. Il s'y emploie dans les couloirs, dans lespetits groupes. Une fois ou l'autre, une lettre circulaire, ou une conférence de press...

Their lives in heaven are long and pleasurable, but they are in thesame predicament as other creatures, being subject eventually to death and further rebirth in lower states of existence.

Of the possible modes of rebirth, human existence is preferable, because thedeitie...
