Romolo Murri
A philosophical treatise grounded in religious discourse, likely written in the early 20th century. The text addresses pressing issues regarding the future of Christianity and the ideological evolution of religious thought, particularly in the context of an evolving Italian identity. The book suggests that the exploration of spirituality should move beyond traditional dogmas, advocating for a sincere and autonomous approach to faith that respects both historical context and individual conscience. The opening of the work sets the stage for Murri's argument by contrasting two dominant attitudes toward religion in Italy: one that perceives Catholicism as an inflexible institution and another that lapses into materialism and skepticism. Murri critiques these perspectives as insincere, highlighting a need for a renewed spiritual awakening that considers the legacy of Italian revolutionary thinkers. He advocates for a more dynamic understanding of religion, suggesting that it should evolve alongside human consciousness, ultimately proposing that authentic faith must embrace freedom, creativity, and a collective journey toward spiritual fulfillment.
