Von Balthasar gives a needed perspective of the Church as a truly given entity from the Lord, and unites us all, East, West, everyone.

David Zampino
5.0 out of 5 stars From the perspective of this non-Roman Catholic reader. . .
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2000
. . .Fr. von Balthasar has provided a thoroughly scriptural and theological defense of the Papacy.
Fr. von Balthasar has enunciated, in remarkably cogent fashion, a theory of ecclesiology which as both thoroughly Catholic and expertly reasoned.
What I found most compelling, was his scheme of authority structures in the New Testament, and how each one (James, representing Law; John, representing love; Paul, representing freedom; and Peter representing authority)was necessary to the proper functioning of the Church. His incorporatin of the role of Mary in the Church was also worthy of note.
A good read for anyone wishing to understand the theology behind the papacy, and how the Church is organized.
This book gave me a lot to think about.
