La esencia del cristianismo y la coherencia institucional

Romano Guardini argued that there is no abstract determination of the essence of what is properly Christian. According to Guillermo Juan Morado for InfoCatólica, Guardini maintained that no doctrine, fundamental structure of ethical values, religious attitude, or vital order can be separated from the person of Christ.

Guardini stated that the essence is Christ himself, what reaches man through him, and the relationship man can maintain with God through him. The person of Jesus Christ, in his historical uniqueness and eternal glory, is the category that determines the being, acting, and doctrine of what is Christian.
