Balthasar always considered the saints,
those who have an intense experience of
God’s love, to be more important to the
Church than the professors and the priests
and even the popes. Balthasar had a certain
aversion to modern empirical data and logical
proof, to the whole apparatus of the Cartesian
“cogito” and its multifarious worldly and utilitarian
progeny. He wrote that the Church’s “most essential
forces—prayer, suffering, faithful obedience, readiness
(perhaps unexploited), humility—eludes all statistical analysis.”
