The problems connected with Kantian criticism, with the choice between idealism and realism, with skepticism or relativism were at the base of my crisis at that time. Today it may seem to me, to a certain extent, native, what worried me then. But at the bottom of my crisis there was an issue that is perennial. Is man capable of absolute knowledge and absolute certainty? If the man cannot say "yes" with absolute firmness and. at the same time, honestly, there is no possibility it for an act of faith, which is posited as an absolute "yes." For this reason, the core of my crisis of faith was profound, and now, 35 years later, I do not deny it.My state of crisis lasted about a year. A year of hard suffering for me. I believe that my vocation to religious life had been substantially genuine and quite free and staff for the times.
