French term or phrase: en a pris et en a laissé
Le dominicain Duquoc a avancé l'hypothès fort audacieuse sur la présence de l'humour au coeur de la doctrine catholique. Pour lui les fidèles font preuve d'un grand sens de l'humour à l'égard des enseignements de l'Eglise. On ne peut qu'acquiescer: les historiens ont déjà fait remarquer qu'en écoutant les sermons terroristes sur l'enfer, la société occidentale en a pris et en a laissé, e que les moralistes les plus exigeants le savaient et en tenaient compte en forçant les doses.
