18 In general I find myself unpersuaded by presentations of Balthasar's theology as deeply Ignatian, though this is an issue too complex to enter into here. In particular, whatever Balthasar's style as an actual retreat director, the fact that he tells us that Speyr would inform him, from a distance, of what was actually going on in the attitude of individual retreatants, might suggest something other than the standard Ignatian practice that De Maeseneer describes.
