Deux martyrs de l'église indivise : saint maxime le confesseur et le pape saint martin
Jean-Miguel Garrigues - Collection Sagesses chretiennes
Résumé
--
Rediscovered in the 20th century by Hans Urs von Balthasar in his Liturgie cosmique, Saint Maximus the Confessor is one of the greatest doctors amongst the Fathers of the Eastern Church. When studying his work - an admirably profound synthesis of the Greek Fathers' theology- we often tend to forget to what extent his thinking was linked to his life. In the Roman empire of the 6th century, which was rocked by schisms and the rise of Islam, he led the life of an itinerant monk. So it was in an environment of urgency and insecurity that he defended the truth of the mystery of Christ's human and divine will and nature against heresy. Later on, the theologian became confessor to the Lateran Council which had been convened by Pope Martin I (Saint Martin) in 649, against the wishes of the Eastern emperor and the Byzantine hierarchy. Pursued by the latter, Martin and Maximus were taken to Constantinople, where they were judged and martyred. In this volume, Jean-Miguel Garrigues translates and assembles eye-witnesses accounts, especially by Easterners, of the trial and torture of Martin, the last pope to be martyred, and of Maximus, who was subsequently known as 'the Confessor'. They pass on to us the confession of the last two witnesses of the indivisible Church, sealed in their own blood.
