He said Christ gives the ultimate lesson in “love of neighbor,” which means: “I love even the person whom I do not like or even know.” The pope said there was an essential interplay between love of God and love of neighbor. “If I have no contact whatsoever with God in my life, then I cannot see in the other anything more than the other, and I am incapable of seeing in him the image of God,” he said. “But if in my life I fail completely to heed others, solely out of a desire to be ‘devout’ and to perform my ‘religious duties,’ then my relationship with God will also grow arid,” he said. THE CHURCH’S ROLE IN BUILDING A JUST SOCIETY The second half of the encyclical makes two main points: I As a community, the Church must practice love through works of charity Pope Benedict XVI gestures to the faithful gathered for the weekly general audience and attend to people’s sufferings and in the Pope Paul VI hall at the Vatican, Jan. 25, the day his first encylical was issued. needs, including material needs.

  • Pope Benedict XVI's God and Gospel
    1 Dear Friend, Pope Benedict XVI has presented to the world his first encyclical called “God is Love.” Since he both distorts the very the nature of God and the meaning of a person’s relationship with Him, it is most important that we address it. The encyclical makes it easier to define biblically who Benedict XVI really is. In the present day environment of false ecumenism, with the Pope and his Roman Church, it is incumbent upon us to “contend for the faith.” What is at stake is to uphold the biblical nature of God and righteousness of Christ Jesus the Lord in the Gospel. This we have done in the article below. Kindly forward this article to others, and place it on your Webpage if possible. We rejoice with you in “the faith which was once delivered unto the saints”, Richard Bennett Pope Benedict XVI’s god and gospel On December 25, 2005, Benedict XVI (Karl Ratzinger) presented the first encyclical of his pontificate. The encyclical, entitled “God is Love,” addresses both the nature of God and the meaning of a person’s relationship with Him. It has been distributed widely throughout the world and is posted on the Vatican website.1 It reveals that Ratzinger’s policies are firmly anchored in traditional Roman Catholic doctrine, as is to be expected from a man who for so long held the headship of the Congregation for Doctrine of the Faith.2 Yet the encyclical is clothed in soft terminology and couched in an approach that wastes none of the fruits of false ecumenism that the prior pope had accumulated to the Papacy.

  • Contact Rhetoric: Bodies and Love in Deus Caritas Est Jon P
    Seton Hall University From the SelectedWorks of Jon P. Radwan Spring 2012 Contact Rhetoric: Bodies and Love in Deus Caritas Est Jon P. Radwan This work is licensed under a Creative Commons CC_BY International License. Available at: https://works.bepress.com/jon_radwan/43/ Contact Rhetoric: Bodies and Love in Deus Caritas Est Jon Radwan A close textual analysis of Pope Benedict XVI’s inaugural encyclical Deus Caritas Est—God is Love is off ered from the perspective of Platonic and contemporary rhetorical theory. An acclaimed inspirational success, this letter proposes loving “encounter” and “response” as the fundamental dynamic of Christian communication; God is “felt” and made manifest in concrete love-of-neighbor. Benedict’s “contact” orientation has significant implications for contemporary theory—humanity becomes ontologically contiguous, subjects are holistically embodied, Truth is grounded in co-felt exchange, and discourse is decentered by direct public engagement. Deus Caritas Est draws attention to ethical limits in Dramatism and Logology and advances embodied, invitational, and theological perspectives on rhetorical theory by showing how genuine love initiates and feeds a divine dynamic that can transcend divisions and unite humanity. all speech, which is the means the gods have given man to express his soul, is a form of eros. With that truth the rhetorician will always be brought face to face as soon as he ventures beyond the consideration of mere artifice and device. Richard Weaver Love is free; it is not practiced as a way of achieving other ends. God’s presence is felt at the very time when the only thing we do is to love.

  • The Sacrament of the Eucharist in the Theological Thought of Joseph Ratzinger / Benedict Xvi
    R. PAVLIĆ - L. ŠPANJIĆ, The sacrament of the eucharist in the theological thought... 97-122 Richard Pavlić – Luka Španjić THE SACRAMENT OF THE EUCHARIST IN THE THEOLOGICAL THOUGHT OF JOSEPH RATZINGER / BENEDICT XVI Doc. dr. sc. Richard Pavlić KBF, Zagreb – Teologija u Rijeci Mag. theol. Luka Španjić KBF, Zagreb – Teologija u Rijeci UDK: 265.3[232.96+260.2+262.13+262.5]JOSEPH RATZINGER / BENEDICT XVI = 111 Izvorni znanstveni rad Primljeno: 7. studenoga 2020. U teologiji Josepha Ratzingera tema euharistije zauzima značajno mjesto. Oslanjajući se na povijesno-kritičku egzegezu, on analizira Isusov čin us- tanovljenja euharistije naglašavajući čitav pashalni misterij. Tim slijedom, Ratzinger promatra Krista u odnosu na njegovu Crkvu, te međuodnos Kristovih vjernika te se dubinski se bavi činom ustanovljenja euharistije. Uspoređuje hramsko bogoslužje i ono prve Crkve. Trudi se obraniti žrtveni karakter euharistije, a ne samo gozbeni. Česta tema njegovih teoloških spisa je zajedništvo među vjernicima i njihovo djelatno sudjelovanje u euharistiji. Članak je podijeljen u tri dijela. Početno se razmatraju polazišta Ratzingero- va govora o euharistiji. Drugo poglavlje donosi pregled bitnih tema koje se provlače kroz Ratzingerova djela, a u trećem poglavlju prikaz je dokumenata iz vremena pontifikata Benedikta XVI. na temu euharistije. Zaključno se do- nosi sinteza prethodno iznesenih spoznaja Ratzingerove euharistijske misli. Ključne riječi: euharistija, zajedništvo vjernika, Joseph Ratzinger, Benedikt XVI. * * * Introduction The most significant contribution of the shift of the Church to the present time was made by the Second Vatican Council, convened by Pope John XXIII and completed during the pontificate of Paul VI, from 1962 to 1965. The Coun- cil is important for new, authentic thinking, but also for open criticism of some phenomena in the Church.

  • Social Encyclical Primer
    SOCIAL ENCYCLICAL PRIMER Pope Francis’ encyclical letter Laudato Si’ was released in June 2015. This encyclical, or teaching document, is the latest in a series of social encyclicals written by our popes over the last 125 years, as the Church sought to apply its moral principles and social teaching to emerging economic and social problems. Jesus Christ is both divine and human. In his person, he embodies what it is to live a fully human life. He is the model of how we are called to live. His teaching has both personal and social implications. These social encyclicals shine the light of the Gospel of Christ and the Church’s moral teaching on changing social circumstances, to provide guidance and support to Christians as we seek to live our faith in the world. In this way, the teaching is both very traditional and ever new. Here are highlights from some of the encyclicals that are part of the Church’s modern body of social teaching: RERUM NOVARUM (On the Condition of Labor) 1891, Pope Leo XIII Essentially the beginning of modern Catholic social teaching, truly groundbreaking, and a foundational document for many subsequent encyclicals (see below). This encyclical addresses the plight of workers in the wake of the Industrial Revolution, touching on issues that include socialism, unbridled capitalism, a living wage, workers’ rights, support for unions, and a rejection of class struggle. Pope Leo XIII first articulated the principles that underlie the preferential option for the poor. QUADRAGESIMO ANNO (On the Reconstruction of the Social Order) 1931, Pope Pius XI Commemorating the 40th anniversary of Rerum Novarum, this encyclical offers an update on the state of labor and industrialization, and strong critiques of communism, unrestrained capitalism, class conflict, and inequalities.

  • Saturday 29 September, 2012, Saint Mary of Victories Church. St Louis
    Saturday 29 September, 2012, Saint Mary of Victories Church. St Louis MO Public Lecture BENEDICT XVI AND THE LITURGY: VISION, TEACHING, ACTION Most Rev. Peter J. Elliott* In the dark years leading up to the Second World War, a German boy discovered the wondrous world of Catholic liturgy. Worshipping with his family in a Bavarian parish influenced by the Liturgical Movement, carefully following his people’s missal,1 Joseph Ratzinger is now Pope Benedict XVI. In his autobiography, Milestones, Memoirs 1927-1977, he expressed his life-long love of the liturgy. “Naturally the child I then was did not grasp every aspect of this, but I started down the road of the liturgy, and this became a continuous process of growth into a grand reality transcending all particular individuals and generations, a reality that became an occasion for me of ever-new amazement and discovery. The incredible reality of the Catholic liturgy has accompanied me through all phases of life, and so I shall have to speak of it time and again.” 2 1. HIS VISION The Hermeneutic of Continuity His life story helps us see why, both as cardinal and Pope, his vision of worship has been guided by the same principle that informs his theology within the ressourcement school of thought - the hermeneutic of continuity. The word “hermeneutic” means a way of interpreting something. The hermeneutic of continuity means that we should interpret the Second Vatican Council as part of the continuous growth of the living tradition of the Church, that is, only in continuity with all other Councils, not as a sharp break with the past.

  • Encyclical Letter Deus Caritas Est
    ENCYCLICAL LETTER DEUS CARITAS EST OF THE SUPREME PONTIFF BENEDICT XVI TO THE BISHOPS PRIESTS AND DEACONS MEN AND WOMEN RELIGIOUS AND ALL THE LAY FAITHFUL ON CHRISTIAN LOVE INTRODUCTION 1. “God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him” (1 Jn 4:16). These words from the First Letter of John express with remarkable clarity the heart of the Christian faith: the Christian image of God and the resulting image of mankind and its destiny. In the same verse, Saint John also offers a kind of summary of the Christian life: “We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us”. We have come to believe in God’s love: in these words the Christian can express the fundamental decision of his life. Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction. Saint John’s Gospel describes that event in these words: “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should... have eternal life” (3:16). In acknowledging the centrality of love, Christian faith has retained the core of Israel’s faith, while at the same time giving it new depth and breadth. The pious Jew prayed daily the words of the Book of Deuteronomy which expressed the heart of his existence: “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord, and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your might” (6:4- 5).

  • Modern Catholic Social Teaching: Commentaries and Interpretations
    BOOK REVIEWS 117 MODERN CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING: COMMENTARIES AND INTERPRETATIONS KENNETH R. HIMES, LISA SOWLE CAHILL, CHARLES E. CURRAN, DAVID HOLLENBACH, & THOMAS A. SHANNON (EDS.) GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2005 $39.95, 563 PAGES Reviewed by Peter Corrigan Devastating natural disasters, unrelenting violence in Iraq and the Middle East, and a growing disparity between the first and the third world all make life in the 21st century bleak. One need only open a newspaper to read about suicide bombers or rebel attacks leaving more American soldiers, Iraqi mil- itants, and even civilians dead in Iraq. A quick perusal of the web finds that 70% of Africans live on less than $2 a day. This extreme poverty and lack of modern medicine will cause nearly 3 million—mostly children—to die of AIDS and malaria next year. Even the United States, when wrecked by the worst natural disaster in its history, seemed paralyzed by inaction as thou- sands suffered from homelessness and emotional trauma. In a world of such turmoil, cynicism, depression, and hopelessness can easily permeate the con- sciousness of American Catholics. Himes and a collection of eminent ethicists offer a profound antidote to our current world. In their book, Modern Catholic Social Teaching: Commentaries and Interpretations, Himes and others find inspiration and guidance in the tradition that has formed Catholic social thought. Rejecting notions of hopeless complacency in light of such entrenched evil, the authors sketch out clear directives that the social teaching of our Church offers us. While the current book does not directly address the specific problems posed above, it introduces the philosophical and theological conceptions of justice, charity, and moral responsibility as expressed in our ever-growing Catholic tradition.

  • Eros and Agape: Expressions of Love in Sacramental Marriage ” Joann Heaney-Hunter
    Synopsis for “Eros and Agape: Expressions of Love in Sacramental Marriage ” Joann Heaney-Hunter Pope Benedict’s first encyclical, Deus Caritas Est, restores a positive connection between eros and agape , and sets out a beautiful vision for the expression of love in sacramental marriage. The purpose of this essay is to explore some ways that sacramental couples unite eros and agape in their expression of love. Sacramental couples are invited to see everything as gift, and to embody God’s life, which unites eros and agape in a unique way. Sacramental marriage is a school where couples learn what it means to be followers of Christ. In pursuing the vocation of active love, in yielding to one another, in being bread for each other, in healing each others’ wounds and helping each other grow, couples conform more closely to the mind and heart of Christ (Phil. 2:5) This sort of love expresses concretely the union of eros and agape , and, as Benedict puts it, perceives the needs of the world with a “heart that sees where love is needed and acts accordingly.” ( Deus Caritas Est, no. 31.) Sharing of self with others is at the heart of sacramental marriage, where couples in so many unsung ways manifest the vision that eros and agape can be one in human relationships. Our expression of love is an expression of God’s love – combining eros and agape in a life- giving relationship that fulfills the individual person and enriches the world. Deus Caritas Est can be a reminder of the deeper meaning of sacramental marriage for all who read it.
