IMMANENCE VS. TRANSCENDENCE 291
the political worlds remain out of its reach. For if the absorption of
Transcendence into Immanence means ultimately giving back to Transcendence
some of its former importance, this occurs within the framecondition
of an "incommensurability of earthly and religious actions"as
Max Brod, Kafka's editor, describes it (Brod, 305). As if seeking to
become an emblem of this very incommensurability, the Twenty-Seventh
International Eucharistic Congress takes place in Chicago, the new capital
of organized crime. [see Center = Periphery (Infinitude)] Is Al
Capone's city being sanctified when, on Monday, June 21, John Cardinal
Bonzano, the archbishop of Chicago, celebrates Mass in Soldiers Field
Stadium, accompanied by a choir of 60,000 parochial-school children?
