From The Thought of Pope Benedict XVI by Adam Nichols OP:

"In this view of the Church as elected for the sake of the non-elected, as the means to save the older brother who was not chosen, Ratzinger is explicitly under the influence of Karl Barth. In the Church Dogmatics, Barth had transformed Calvin's doctrine of double predestination, praedestinatio gemina, in just this fashion. Thus Barth, and here Ratzinger after him, could maintain the full, gracious reality of the Church's distinctive election, while at the same time opening wide the doors of salvation to all. For though universalism, the salvation of everyman, is not part of Christian faith, it is assuredly part of Christian hope.

How, then, according to Ratzinger, does the Christian brotherhood exercise its responsibility for the whole? It does so in three ways: through mission, through charity, and through suffering."
