He was said to be the favorite theologian of John Paul II and is held in high esteem by Benedict XVI. It is not uncommon to hear him referred to as \u003ci\u003ethe\u003c\/i\u003e great Catholic theologian of the twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBalthasar: A (Very) Critical Introduction\u003c\/i\u003e Karen Kilby argues that although the low regard in which Balthasar was held from the 1950s to 1960s was not justified, neither is the current tendency to lionize him.
