Abstract

At the time of the election of Cardinal Ratzinger it came as something of a shock and provoked numerous speculations about his motivation and reasons for the choice of the name, Benedict. At the first Wednesday audience he gave, he did offer some connection to the life and ministry of Pope Benedict XV and particularly his historic timeframe at the time of World War I.

Pastoral Liturgy is published by the University of Notre Dame Australia, School of Philosophy and Theology, Fremantle.
