	Theology of Pope Benedict XVI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pope Benedict XVI's Theology and positions are similar to those of his predecessor, the Servant of God John Paul II, and he is a staunch defender of Catholic doctrine.
		Benedict's ecclesiology places much emphasis on the institutions of the Catholic Church as the instrument by which God's message manifests itself on Earth: a view of the Church's role which tends to resist pressure to submit to external social trends.
		Benedict XVI's views appear to be similar to those of his predecessor, Pope John Paul II, in maintaining the traditional positions on birth control, abortion, and homosexuality and promoting Catholic social teaching.

	Public Theology: Pope Benedict XVI on Islam and the Reformation
		The liberal theology of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries ushered in a second stage in the process of dehellenization, with Adolf von Harnack as its outstanding representative.
		In this sense theology rightly belongs in the university and within the wide-ranging dialogue of sciences, not merely as a historical discipline and one of the human sciences, but precisely as theology, as inquiry into the rationality of faith.
		For philosophy and, albeit in a different way, for theology, listening to the great experiences and insights of the religious traditions of humanity, and those of the Christian faith in particular, is a source of knowledge, and to ignore it would be an unacceptable restriction of our listening and responding.

	Pope delivers lessons on religion, reason, church beliefs \| The-Tidings.com
		The pope taught theology at the University of Regensburg from 1969 until his appointment as archbishop of Munich and Freising in 1977.
		The pope said the emperor must have known of the early Islamic teaching that "there is no compulsion in religion," but was no doubt also aware of later instructions in the Koran about holy war.
		He said this was partly the result of a long process of "de-Hellenization" of Christian theology, in stages marked by an overemphasis on Scripture, a reduction of the Gospel to a "humanitarian moral message" and the creation of a gulf between theology and scientific empiricism.

	Biographical notes
		I discovered an aspect of Bonaventure’s theology not found in the previous literature, namely, his relation with the new idea of history conceived by Joachim of Fiore in the twelfth century.
		The interesting idea which I discovered was that a significant current among the Franciscans was convinced that Saint Francis of Assisi and the Franciscan Order marked the beginning of this third period of history, and it was their ambition to actualise it; Bonaventure was in critical dialogue with this current.
		The work of these two bodies, each composed of twenty or thirty professors proposed by the Bishops of the world, is carried out in complete freedom and acts as a link between the Holy See and the offices of the Roman Curia on the one hand, and the theological world on the other.

	Nature and Mission of Theology Pope Benedict XVI / Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger From Your Catholic Store, ...
		Cardinal Ratzinger wrote this book in response to the dialogue going on today concerning theology and the clarification of its methods, its mission and its limits which he thinks has become urgent.
		Ratzinger states: "To do theology-as the Magisterium understands theology-it is not sufficient merely to calculate how much religion can reasonably be expected of man and to utilize bits and pieces of the Christian tradition accordingly.
		Theology is born when the arbitrary judgment of reason encounters a limit, in that we discover something which we have not excogitated ourselves but which has been revealed to us.
