Here is something that was supposed to go up on June 29th, but, um, didn’t. But the links may interest some of you, even late:
Today is the sixtieth anniversary of Joseph Ratzinger’s ordination to the priesthood. Someone has found and posted a movie of parts of the service . You can see the young Ratzinger, just ordained, in the procession from about 4:50 to 4:55.
Here are a few Benedict links:
The biography from the Vatican website .
The texts of Benedict’s encyclicals and other writings .
The official site for his visit to England .
The Pope Benedict XVI Fan Club , which includes his writings as cardinal .
His 1998 Erasmus Lecture (that’s our lecture series, by the way): Biblical Interpretation in Crisis .
Avery Cardinal Dulles’ From Ratzinger to Benedict .
R. R. Reno’s The Pontificate of Continuity .
