The self-giving of the divine persons no longer entails a dissolution of the self (Ratzinger’s Son). Instead, the self-giving is a way in which each divine person seeks the “glory” of the others and makes space in itself for the others. The indwelling of the one divine person in the other no longer entails colonization of the other (Ratzinger’s Father). Instead, the indwelling presupposes that the otherness of the other—the other’s identity—has been preserved, not as self-enclosed and static “pure identity” but as open and dynamic “identity-with-non-identity.”
