I fear that then-Ratzinger may be found to be more involved, but I pray not.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17763170794077408812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-60617886283548808872010-03-28T11:55:08.954-04:002010-03-28T11:55:08.954-04:00"Do not be afraid!""Do not be afraid!"Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07707415545572897505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-77495645052770465062010-03-28T11:38:43.126-04:002010-03-28T11:38:43.126-04:00The Pope is in a very precarious position and I do...The Pope is in a very precarious position and I do not think, ironically, that his defenders are helping him. This is because the defense seems to distract from the real problem that is the crisis in the clergy. The reactions of the diocese and bishops is consistent with the then belief in forgiveness as the tool for rehabilitation. I would not be surprised that Ratzinger would have had the same ideas at that time. But Christianity is about the evolution of the Self, and it appears as Ratzinger matured, so did his understnading of forgiveness. So, like the Prodigal Son, his conversion is greater cause for happiness than if he had been in the right camp all along.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
