And Assayas simply cannot understand how the world’s biggest rock star could believe Jesus is the Son of God. Nor can he understand how Bono has remained faithful to his wife of 25 years.

I think that tells us a lot more about Assayas than it does about Bono.

Perhaps the next article on the Incarnation could address the following question: Why is the Incarnation not a logical contradiction? Notably, this is an argument commonly leveled at Christianity by Islam. Essentially, the problem is that Jesus is stated to have been, simultaneously, fully God and fully man. Qualities of God include immutability, omnipotence, omniscience, etc., while qualities of man include mutability, contingent causality, limited knowledge, etc. It is literally a logical contradiction to say that one thing/person could maintain both immutability and mutability, say, or omniscience and non-omniscience, simultaneously. It is like saying that a shape can be simultaneously a circle and a square. They are mutually exclusive qualities. I have found one answer to this which states that Christ was one person with two natures--one divine and one human--and that it is in this sense that He was fully God and fully man. I don't really understand what this means, though. If it is the "nature", and not the "person", which is human or divine, then what is the person? Where does our "identity" lie? Thanks.

Bono is a wonderful example (to me at least) of a real human being, living his Faith in the real world. He inspires me.

Eros that isn't in service to Agape is just the mortal sin of lust, which far too many relationships in our society are based on to begin with.

But when Eros is limited in service to God's Agape in the Sacrament of Marriage, from that the entire world and everything in it that is good comes.

When I first read the statement that "this is a man on a sincere quest to integrate eros with agape", I must admit that I feigned vomiting. But reading his explanation to the interviewer, I'm very impressed. Thanks for sharing this.

To me that is so amazing. The touch of the divine. The incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection are the ultimate artistic statement. Not to say they are nothing else but looked on as art they are awesome. The sheer beauty of it causes the truth to penetrate deeply. But it keeps happening. In the saints, in the sacraments, in this story of a rock star weeping in a Cathedral. It's beauty. Love demands the word become flesh not just once but constantly in so many lives and in so many ways. Amazing but inevitable. What yuo would expect if it was really true.
