El obstáculo relevant es un conflicto intrínsico en el cerebro, nos dicen Chip y Dan Heath, dos reconocidos especialistas en comportamiento organizacional. Los psicólogos han descubierto que los angeles mente está gobernada por dos sistemas diferentes —la mente racional y los angeles mente emocional— que compiten por el regulate. los angeles mente racional quiere un cuerpo perfecto; los angeles mente emocional quiere comerse esa galleta. l. a. mente racional quiere cambiar el trabajo; l. a. mente emocional ama los angeles comodidad y los angeles rutina. Esta tensión puede causar que muchos esfuerzos por cambiar fracasen, pero si se superan, el cambio puede llegar rápidamente.

Encountering Modernity 29 For Ratzinger, Bonaventure’s importance lies in the fact that he attempted to develop an alternative theology of history to Joachim’s prophecies (Ratzinger 1959/1971). But Ratzinger also argued that Bonaventure was perhaps too tolerant of Joachim’s effort to set up a new second end of history in addition to Christ’s coming. The longer-term significance of Ratzinger’s study of Bonaventure is that it caused him to grapple with what are clearly anticipatory medieval forms of the liberation theologies which the papacy confronted in the twentieth-century’s last decades.

To Wojtyła’s mind, Marx and Feuerbach’s effort to “give everything to man” independently of God’s moral order are modern versions of the serpent’s temptation (1976/1979: 34–5). With people “free” of the objective moral order, Wojtyła claims that there is nothing to prevent each person from being regarded as a “mere tool” (1976/1979: 34). To this end, he cites de Lubac’s argument that atheistic humanism’s claim to liberate man by abolishing God ultimately destroys man’s recognition of his uniqueness (Wojtyła 1976/1979: 16).

Some interpreted Pius XII’s Humani Generis as refuting de Lubac’s position on the grace-nature controversy. De Lubac himself never believed this was the case and revealed later in life that Pius XII encouraged him to continue his work from which the pope said he expected much (1992/2006). Considered theologically suspect by some Catholics before Vatican II, de Lubac’s writings did indeed bear fruit. They were among the most influential of any theologian advising the Council. But after the Council, there emerged what some believed was a “new” de Lubac: a leading voice against what many regarded as the reckless experimentation into which much of the Catholic Church in the developed world descended after Vatican II.
