		Cardinal Ratzinger's June 2 discourse on the Eucharist seems to anticipate the contents of a soon-to-be-announced encyclical on the Eucharist.
		Ratzinger's talk is fascinating because it takes up the great themes of the day: the nature of Church, the source of Church unity, the role of the papacy, the role of Councils, the legitimate and illegitimate types of ecumenism, and the role of the Church in the struggles for social and political justice.
		Ratzinger then analyzes the meaning of the word "solidarity." He reminds us that this term was born not in a Christian environment, but in a socialist one that opposed "social solidarity" to "the Christian idea of love" as the new, rational and effective answer to social problems.

	Cover story: The Vatican’s enforcer
		Ratzinger once expressed the point in typically pithy fashion: “Where there is no dualism, there is totalitarianism.” He meant that where the church does not offer an alternative value system, where it sells out to the state or the culture, it gives up its ability to protect freedom.
		Ratzinger was the chief adviser for Cardinal Joseph Frings, the aging cardinal of Cologne, Germany.
		Ratzinger then focused on Bonaventure’s conflict with the “Spiritual Franciscans.” That branch of the Franciscan movement had been inspired by the apocalyptic visionary Joachim of Fiore to expect a third age of history, an era of the Holy Spirit, in which the poor would be liberated and the rich torn down.

	LT92 - The Spirit Of The Liturgy, by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger
		Ratzinger divides his reflections into four sections, beginning with the most general questions ("The Essence of the Liturgy") and ending with the most specific ("Liturgical Form"), in which he considers certain key ritual gestures and practices which have been the subject of much debate in recent decades.
		Ratzinger dedicates an entire chapter ("The Altar and the Direction of Liturgical Prayer") to this question, pointing out that Vatican Council II never even suggested this novel change of position, and exposing the principal arguments in favor of it as being historically unfounded.
		Ratzinger's treatment of liturgical music in the following chapter is also historically based, beginning with the observation that the Hebrew and Greek words for 'sing' and 'song' are among the most common in the Bible (309 occurrences in the Old Testament and 36 in the New).

		Cardinal Ratzinger effectively evokes the terrible spirit of revolutionary agitation which at a certain point seized the majority of the Council members, and, without intending it, he confirms the remark that Archbishop Lefebvre made, that, at a certain point, Satan had taken hold of the Council.
		It is clear that Cardinal Ratzinger considers that his position in the post-conciliar period, and even now, is substantially the same as the one he held as a researcher when he was accused (and quite rightly) of wanting to elaborate a subjectivist conception of Revelation.

	The Memories of a Destructive Mind: Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger's Milestones
		According to Cardinal Ratzinger, whose current opinions appear unchanged from those he held as a seminarian, the thought of Aquinas was "too closed in on itself, too impersonal and ready-made," and was unable to respond to the personal questions of the faithful.
		Ratzinger was able to devote himself completely to this preparation for only two months, instead of the year he should have had at his disposition preparing for his ordination.
		The work by Ratzinger on the concept of revelation as it occurs in the works of St. Bonaventure and the interpretation of this concept were accused of being unfaithful to the texts as well as manifesting "a dangerous modernism that had to lead to the subjectivization of the concept of revelation" (ibid.

		Cardinal: Versus orientem, I would say could be a help because it is really a tradition from the Apostolic time, and it’s not only a norm, but it’s an expression also of the cosmical dimension and of the historical dimension of the liturgy.
		Cardinal: On the one hand, I would say a coordination between the bishops is certainly necessary because United States are one great continent and it’s impossible that one bishop has the same discipline as another.

		Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger's strict line on Catholic dogma has earned the chief Vatican guardian of orthodoxy a host of nicknames: the Enforcer, the Fundamentalist and Panzerkardinal, a German neologism that compares the Bavarian-born prelate to a battle tank.

		Ratzinger deserted the Wehrmacht and his theology was strongly influenced by his revulsion for Nazi ideology.

		Cardinal Ratzinger presents a lucid summary of the central theological issues arising out of the covenant shared by Jews and Christians.
		Cardinal Ratzinger, the new pope Benedict XVI, spent much of his career prior to being in the Vatican teaching theology and philosophy; after his move to the Vatican, he spent much of his time in the work of clarifying the theology of the church.
