Pope’s Address to International Theological Commission
"Theology Must Always Be Exercised in the Church"
VATICAN CITY, DEC. 19, 2005 (ZENIT.org).- Here is a translation of the address Benedict XVI gave Dec. 1 to members of the International Theological Commission.
Most Reverend President,
Your Excellencies,
Distinguished Professors,
Dear Collaborators,
I am pleased to greet you at this family meeting which reminds me of the prolonged and deep collaboration I have had with many of you. I was appointed a member of the International Theological Commission in 1969 and became its president in 1982.
I would like first of all to express my heartfelt gratitude for the tribute addressed to me by Archbishop Levada, who is taking part in a meeting of the International Theological Commission for the first time as president. I offer him my prayerful good wishes that the light and power of the Holy Spirit may accompany him in the fulfillment of the task that has been entrusted to him.
