"The logos of the whole world, the creative original thought, is at the same time love; in fact this thought is creative because, as thought, it is love and, as love, it is thought. It becomes apparent that truth and love are originally; that where they are completely realized they are not two parallel or even opposing realities but one, the one and only absolute."
Joseph Ratzinger, Introduction to Christianity, New York: Herder, 1970, 103.
