[470] So the Protestant^a education^b must finally lead to the Protestant, l wouldn't call it autonomy^c, but I would like to call it theonomy^d, derived from theos, God^e, and nomos, law^f –– not a heteronomy^g, a strange law, is imposed on us (the ecclesiastical), nor autonomy (without any center and content), but theonomy, namely a life which is centered in the center of ALL life, where the autonomous decisions get their meaning and their content, from the Ultimate,^h even if they are directed AGAINST the church. So we have here a most difficult problem again, the educationⁱ towards FREEDOM from education. And this is indeed the Protestant^j aim. Perhaps it will never be reached, but it must remain the aim, and Protestantism can never accept the Catholic principle of life-long subjection to the authority of the Church. This is indeed a great decision, and everyone who is tired of his autonomy ^kis inclined to go into the protective gown, which is all-embracing, of the Mother-Church. Or we can also [call] it "womb," returning to it: there you have the safety of your pre-birth situation. But Protestantism doesn't give this safety, it gives the risk, and IN the risk the TOTAL IN reunion with God^l, and the possibility of another separation, in the person-to-person encounter. Now here you have these three steps, and these three great problems: 1) from primitivism, through the critical stage, through reinterpretation of these symbols^m; 2) the relationship of ACTUAL QUESTIONS and ANSWERS; 3) the autonomyⁿ, which becomes THEOnomy,^o if it is related to the Ultimate.^p
