Long before Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote it (and subsequently lived it himself), Peter knew the literal truth: "When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die" (Cost of Discipleship [ET MacMillan, 1948]). We may admire the bravery of the White Rose and sympathize with the moral evolution of Dietrich Bonhoeffer as he moved from principled Christian pacifist to attempted assassin of Hitler. Again Cardinal Ratzinger preached the sermon at the Mass preceding the election, and Weigel described it as classic Cardinal Ratzinger--richly biblical, emphasizing God's mercy and the importance of friendship with Christ, deftly drawing on theologians like Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Hans Urs von Balthasar, calling his brother-cardinals to a "holy restlessness," a restlessness to bring everyone the gift of faith. |
