There was a time — it encompassed most of the 1980s — that Catholic publishers weren’t very interested in what the largely unknown Fr Joseph Ratzinger of Germany had to say about Christian morality, the mystery of the heart of Christ, the role of religion in post-Marxist Europe or, for that matter, any other topic.
“We knew we wanted to publish translations of fine European theologians like Ratzinger, Henri de Lubac, Hans Urs von Balthasar and others,” Fr Fessio told Catholic News Service before the retired pope’s death Dec 31. “It was kind of a golden age of Catholic theology, in the mid-20th century. But their works were rarely translated into English. That was our mission.”
“He had the tremendous ability to understand what others were saying and writing,” Fr Fessio added. “He could be critical, but he was fair, and then he would present what he thought was a more accurate view of things.After graduation, Fr Fessio began to participate in the annual three-day-long reunions of his mentor’s “Schulerkreis,” or group of former students. Fr Ratzinger, meanwhile, was named the archbishop of Munich and Freising, and soon afterward, a cardinal.
