What Hath Rome to do with Westminster?

"To be sure, the response of faith to revelation, which God grants to the creature he chooses and moves with his love, occurs in such a way that it is truly the creature that provides the response, with its own nature and its natural powers of love"

Hans Urs von Balthasar

This is a beautiful summation of the tension of God's initiating grace and our authentic response to the gospel from a brilliant Roman Catholic theologian.
