Massimo Recalcati
Jesus, a man of desire
Out of his mind, delusional, narcissistic, a false prophet, fanatical, a glutton, a drunkard, one who consorts with prostitutes and thieves, a criminal, an impostor. This is the portrait of Jesus that emerges from the judgement of his enemies: scribes, doctors of the Law, and temple priests. Indeed, religious men do not know what it means to spend one's entire life in love and gratitude; they do not know what it means to desire and cherish life. In his testimony, Jesus shows that Law is not the enemy of desire, but its best support. It does not mortify life, in fact it makes it more alive
