...Path Found. As a child in Freiburg im Breisgau, in southern Germany, Rahner often jolted his devoutly Catholic parents. He was a mischievous boy, seemingly devoid of promise, got such disgraceful marks that his father, a scholarly Latin teacher, once threatened to take him out of school. But he suddenly reformed, climbed to the top of his class. In 1922, he joined his elder brother Hugo as a member of the Society of Jesus. "Hugo's entering I can understand," said his father.

Recalled to office in May 1958 at a time when the government was paralyzed by the threat of an army coup, he demanded and won "exceptional powers, for an exceptional task, at an exceptional time." In the past, the President had been largely a ceremonial figure who, in De Gaulle's scornful words, "reigned but did not rule." With his accession, the head of state was empowered for the first time to "determine and direct the policy...
