Not so – Christ is at the center of it all. (And all-encompassing. The geometry gets complicated.) But the visio Christi is the great culmination, the final element of beatitude in Paradise. To critique Paradiso for being Christless is a bit like critiquing Beethoven’s 9th for not being entirely the Ode to Joy.
