John Paul II points out that Jesus encourages us to penetrate past the boundary of the fall to the state of innocence: In the beginning it was not so. How can we do this?
John Paul II suggests that the “redemption of the body” gives us this access. If it were not for the redemption of the body, we’d be hopelessly caught in the historical state of humanity in sin, incapable of reclaiming innocence.
Eschatology offers access to protology.
