Rahner survived and immersed himself in the task...

“Rahner survived and immersed himself in the task of reconciling Christian faith with a modern consciousness radically altered by the war. Throughout the 1950s he would be subject to occasional censures for his thought; in March 1961, an intervention by Pope John XXIII averted a more serious censure of Rahner by the Vatican. However, on June 7,1962, quite unexpectedly—and just three weeks before the Holy Office’s posthumous censure of Teilhard (June 30, 1962) and L’Osservatore Romano’s assault on de Lubac—Rahner’s Jesuit superiors “informed him that from now on everything that he wrote had to be submitted to a preliminary censorship in Rome.”Rahner told the Jesuit general that he “had no intention of submitting anything to the Roman censorship but would rather write nothing at all; nor would [he] keep quiet about the matter, but would describe it all quite candidly.” By May 28, 1963, the Holy Office had retreated completely.”
