Benedict XVI: how my time as a humanitarian aid worker led me to his writings
Reading Ratzinger is a commitment to moving beyond simplistic truisms such as the juxtaposition of charity and justice as a zero-sum game and to seeking to understand the depths of things, to see beyond the natural world into the supernatural, beyond the physical life to the eschatological, beyond the body to the soul, without ever embracing any false dualism but rather interrogating knowledge and life, orthodoxy and praxis, as an integrated whole.
