The Roman Catholic Church has been
remarkably active in ecumenical discus¬
sions in the last number of years, but that has
not always been the case.
Because He Was a German! describes the dra¬
matic process that led to the Vatican Secretar¬
iat for Promoting Christian Unity, and the
definitive commitment of the Roman Catholic
Church to the universal ecumenical move¬
ment. It gives insightful profiles of the princi¬
pal actors in this ecumenical drama
—
Pope
John
XXIII,
Cardinal
Lorenz
Jaeger of
Pader¬
born,
Germany, and Cardinal
Augustin
Bea,
SJ.
—
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 theolog¬
ical development of Pope Benedict
XVI.
The Pontifical Council for Promoting
Christian Unity cannot but rejoice at the
publication of Jerome-Michael Vereb s
detailed study of the lasting contribution to
ecumenism of its own founding father, so to
speak, Cardinal
Augustin
Bea,
and the other
personalities present at its birth. With
intense fascination and firsthand knowl¬
edge, Because He Was a German! tells the tale
of the origins and early development of the
then Secretariat for Promoting Christian
Unity. By following the story of
Augustin
Bea s personal engagement, his vision and
struggles, these pages identify and describe
the forces in the Church and in broader
Christianity that finally led to the Catholic
Church s irrevocable commitment to the
ecumenical movement, through the instru¬
mentality of the Second Vatican Council and
its decree on Ecumenism.
Ecumenism is not only a question of
ideas; it is also importantly an unraveling of
personal contacts, mutual influences and
friendships, leading to the trust needed to
sustain the search for unity. Here we have an
important part of the story that should be
read not only by the experts but also by all
who wish to know how it happened.
