COMMENTARY: There can be no question of the French theologian’s devotion to the cause of Christ or his fidelity to the Church.
De Lubac is considered by many to be one of the most important theologians of the 20th century. He encouraged a return to the writings of the Church Fathers in Catholic theology and founded a journal with Joseph Ratzinger and Hans Urs von Balthasar.
COMMENTARY: The aim of Vatican II wasn’t to change doctrine, but to make it more accessible to the modern mind.
In recognition of his work, Pope St. John Paul II created de Lubac a cardinal in 1983.
COMMENTARY: The secular vision of humanity is defective because it sees only fragments and not the whole.
