Let met attempte explain this problem. It is likely
thatn you are unaware of Dante? The image of Christ
crucified alive is the .lobster. It can be found in
the Commedia by the Italian poet in his works. This
image of living and dying and later to be eaten for
sacrifice is the central image of the Christ; also
as
you can read Guattari and Deleuze they have taken
this
interpretation from thel works of Dante and their
contemporain Samuel Beckett: Dante and the Lobster.
This story of a young man in despair because he has
seen the image of God in the cooking alive of the
lobster - the crucifixion unto death of the innocent
one is the subtle reference to the Christian faith
made by French philosophers. You see they were not
unaware of the relation between their works and the
theology, which as you can read in their Souvenir
d'un
theologien 300 Milles Plateaux. As you have seen he
was also admiring M Klossowski alsoa stududent of
the
theology and translator ofthis into many works of
inspiration. So do not be so unusally surprised to
imagine the Catholic theolgies mightbe absent from
the
thought. Deux is not absconditus, but many have
absconded his prescence.
Sincerement, Sister Prudence Isodore.
