agree Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) : yes why not...except manifestations is not quite right..i have come to the conclusion that this is best said as Limits Of Reasons..repere= limits or boundaries

neutral Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) : I think you have to translate repere because otherwise the French just would have said raison..the reperes de la raision and la raision are not the same...

Cardinal Ratzinger warns that rock music so sets aflame the passions that the listener "liberates himself from the burden of consciousness." This disintegrates, tears apart human character and personality as the person is no longer guided by reason but by his passions
