Thanks, Rob, that helps .
I think you’re right as far as the general thrust of recent CDF statements goes (think of Dominus Iesus , or the recent clarification on the meaning of the word Church), I guess I just found your exclamation ” Take that, Karl Rahner ” to be a bit off-putting.
Anyway, we’re putting the finishing touches on the February issue of First Things , and in it Avery Cardinal Dulles addresses this question in an article titled, “Who Can Be Saved?” He doesn’t quite characterize Aquinas and Chrysostom the way you do, and he has interesting things to say about Rahner, but we’ll have to wait til the New Year when the February issue hits newsstands.
In the meantime, there’s still time to subscribe . . .
