The redeemed man. On the 5th volume of "Collected Writings" by Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI

Gerhard Müller

Abstract

Let's do an experiment. A person suffers from severe toothache. You try it with cold compresses - without success. Then comes the hot tea and strong pills, but it doesn't help. In the end, only specialist remains. The dentist has to get to the bottom of the pain. The diagnosis is: the tooth has abscessed at the root. As therapy, the radical solution remains to put the poor patient out of his ordeal.
