Transcription: God is the source of the integral beauty of the body. It seems that Michelangelo, in his own way, allowed himself to be guided by the evocative words of the Book of Genesis, which, as regards the creation of the human being, male and female, reveals. The man and his wife were both naked, yet they felt no shame. The Sistine Chapel is precisely, if one may say so, the sanctuary of the theology of the human body. In witnessing to the beauty of man created by God as made male and female, it also expresses in a certain way the hope of the world transfigured.
