“Benedict XVI on the Liturgy”
Paul Mankowski, SJLumen Christi Institute
Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) has long cherished Catholic liturgy, and his writings on the subject illuminate the man as well as the meaning of Christian ritual. This talk is intended as an introduction to the concept of liturgy as understood by Catholics and of the contributions Ratzinger-both as theologian and as worshiper-has made to its authentic development and reception within the Church.
This event is intended for University students. An informal dinner will be served. Please contact mfranzen@lumenchristi.org with any questions.
