| 1 | Called to Communion: Understanding the C | Joseph Ratzinger |
| This is a book of wisdom and insight that explains how providential are the trials through which the Catholic Church is now passing. These include: The need of the Papal Primacy to ensure Christian unity. The true meaning of the Priesthood as a sacrament and not a mere ministry. The necessity of the Eucharist as the sacrifice of the savior now offering himself on our altars. The role of the Bishops as successors of the Apostles, united with the successor of St. Peter, the Bishop of Rome. The value of suffering in union with Christ crucified. The indispensable service of the laity in the apostolate. All these themes receive new clarity and depth from Cardinal Ratzinger. |
