Because He Was a German!: Cardinal Bea and the Origins of Roman Catholic Engagement in the Ecumenical Movement - Hardcover
Synopsis
The Roman Catholic Church has been remarkably active in ecumenical discussions in the last number of years, but that has not always been the case.
"Because He Was a German!" describes the dramatic process that led to the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, and the definitive commitment of the Roman Catholic Church to the universal ecumenical movement. It gives insightful profiles of the principal actors in this ecumenical drama -- Pope John XXIII, Cardinal Lorenz Jaeger of Paderborn, Germany, and Cardinal Augustin Bea, S.J. -- in the political, social, and theological ambivalence of a postwar divided Germany. It also provides insight into the negotiations that paved the way for the unprecedented ecumenical openness of Vatican II.
An engaging story, "Because He Was a German!" opens a window into the events that have shaped the modern Catholic Church and highlights the context shaping the theological development of Pope Benedict XVI.

" 'Because He Was a German!' elucidates the environment from which our new Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, has emerged. I hope that the reader will enjoy these pages, and I pray that what they signify may have a positive and lasting effect upon the world as it moves toward consis-tency and space through the Light of Christ." ? RENATO CARDINAL MARTINO President, Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace (from the foreword) "For those who labor for Christian unity in what many con-sider to be an 'ecumenical winter,' the story of Augustin Bea holds out an invaluable lesson in patience and pastoral charity. Father Vereb renders an indispensable account of the events and personalities that led to the Jesuit cardinal's emergence on the eve of Vatican II as the first President of the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity." ? FR. JAMES MASSA Executive Director, Secretariat for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs US Conference of Catholic Bishops. Seller Inventory # 230416003
