About Palaver, W.: Enmity and Political Identity. In: Jnanadeepa 2005

Our current world seems to suggest that political identity, enmity and religion are malignantly linked. Carl Schmitt and Samuel P. Huntington are the most well known thinkers pointing in this direction. Such a view, however, simplifies dangerously the way religion is related to political identity. René Girard's mimetic theory shows that throughout history we can find very different relationships between religion and friend-enemy-patterns. Archaic religions were directly linked to friend-enemy patterns creating internal peace with the help of an outside enemy. The Biblical revelation has undermined this kind of political theology. Without the archaic sacred, however, conflicts and enmity have become even more aggressive. Enmity rooting in the pagan sacred provided a certain moderation of human conflicts seeing the enemy as good and bad at the same time. Our modern world, on the contrary, tends towards an absolute enmity seeking annihilation. This apocalyptic condition of our world forces us Christians to follow the Biblical demand to love our enemies and to renounce violence. By bearing witness to the Biblical revelation in its integrity Christian Churches form communities without the need of outside enemies. The Eucharist strengthens this kind of theological politics.
