| Summary: | Karl Rahner, SJ (1904–1984) spent the major time of his academic career in Innsbruck/Tyrol: from 1936 until 1939 when the Jesuits were expelled by the Nazis; from 1948 until 1963, as a full professor, before he moved to Munich to take over the chair of Romano Guardini; and finally from autumn 1981 to his death (March 30, 1984). Although he belonged – together with his brother Hugo Rahner, SJ as well as Josef Andreas Jungmann, SJ – to the stars of the theological faculty, and contributed to it's worldwide reputation, the conditions, both of living and teaching there, were very hard. It can only be a rhetoric question: Was Karl Rahner happy in Innsbruck? He did his job – as a Jesuit, as a priest and as a schoolmaster. Amazingly enough, he was enormously productive. Denunciated by fellow Jesuits as well as by some students, he got into trouble with the Holy Office (the later congregation of the Doctrine of Faith) a couple of times. In October 1981, Karl Rahner returned to Innsbruck as an old man: He came to die, to find his peace with a place that owed him a debt of gratitude – and still does. |
