This text explores the concept of the sacred in relation to the suffering of children, drawing from Marc Wetzel's review of Marcel Conche's philosophical work. The author develops the argument that while Christianity centers on a suffering God-man, it cannot ground its concept of the sacred on a crucified child. Unlike Jesus, whose significance is tied to his active ministry and presence among people, a child killed in a horrific manner would represent a regression to pre-Abrahamic human sacrifice. Such magical rituals were fundamentally rejected within the Hebrew tradition. The text argues against interpreting the birth in Bethlehem or the crucifixion on Golgotha as isolated peaks of divine grace or salvation. Instead, it posits that true faith and life orientation require more than a tragic ritual. By engaging with themes similar to those of Ivan Karamazov, the reflection situates the problem within a broader philosophical and theological context, emphasizing that the sacred cannot be built upon the destruction of innocent childhood without reverting to discarded sacrificial traditions.
