A Handbook of Spiritual Ecumenism
Walter Cardinal Kasper, born in Germany in 1933, was ordained a priest in 1957. An accomplished theologian and author of many books and articles, he studied at the University of Tubingen and taught at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. Wide respect for Kaspers ecumenical work led John Paul II to appoint him president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, a position he has held since 2001.
