I was admitted
to their brotherhood.

1:16:08
Since then, I have never
wished to go anywhere else.

1:16:17
You are welcome.
1:16:56
Father Giovanni,
1:16:59
how can you stay here
instead of returning to Italy

1:17:02
and giving the people there
something of the faith

1:17:06
you are now inspiring in me?
1:17:09
Ah, Professor,
1:17:12
you do not understand
man's psyche

1:17:14
as well as you know archaeology.
1:17:18
Faith cannot be given to man.
1:17:22
Faith is not the result of thinking.
1:17:25
It comes from direct knowledge,
1:17:29
for example,
1:17:32
if my own brother
were to entreat me to give him

1:17:35
a tenth part of my understanding,
I couldn't,

1:17:39
because he has neither the knowledge
nor the experience

1:17:42
which I have acquired in my life.
1:17:44
This would be like
1:17:47
wishing to fill someone
with bread merely by looking at him.

1:17:51
There is a law:
1:17:55
The quality
of what you understand

1:17:57
depends on the quality
of the person speaking.
