His writings speak not only to the mind but to the imagination and the heart. He's impossible to pigeon-hold, yet he is unmistakably Catholic and thoroughly embedded in the biblical story of Christ (in a way that Rahner is not). I'm not sure if anyone else could ever do theology like him, which I guess is precisely why I am enjoying reading him.Pontificatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09132121734932690140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-1146963620370898702006-05-06T21:00:00.000-04:002006-05-06T21:00:00.000-04:00My vote is for Balthasar and I say "ditto" to what...My vote is for Balthasar and I say "ditto" to what the pontificator said.Cynthia R.

I had actually decided to include de Lubac on the poll instead of Congar -- but at the last minute I simply forgot!
