Summary/Abstract: This paper engages the Catholic Heidegger School’s interaction with Heidegger’s understanding of Being. Gustav Siewerth, Max Müller, Karl Rahner, Johannes Baptist Lotz, and Bernhard Welte understood that the question of God would be decided with the question of Being with ontological difference. Depending on one’s own religious standpoint as well as sympathy for metaphysics, one can dismiss the interaction of the Catholic Heidegger School with Heidegger’s philosophy as a Scholastic misunderstanding, a legitimate attempt to further develop the tradition of Scholastic thought or a source of religious-philosophical potential in Heidegger’s ontology.
