Bishop Robert Barron | Fr. Joseph Fessio: Under the Direction of then-Professor Ratzinger @BishopBarron | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Friends, Fr. Joseph Fessio was sent by Cardinal Henri de Lubac to Germany to study under then-Professor Joseph Ratzinger while writing his dissertation on Fr. Hans Urs von Balthasar. Fr. Fessio shares that seminar classes with Professor Ratzinger were a masterclass of him listening to everyone speak and then summarizing in two or three long German sentences exactly what was discussed. The skill and precision of language were unmatched.

Fr. Fessio’s life story crosses paths with many of the greatest Catholic minds of the twentieth century. It’s a remarkable tale. You can watch our full conversation here: youtu.be/uXrN5iFiis8
