Benedict XVI is one of the great German Theologians even before he filled in the shoes of Peter. Benedict XVI has worked numerously on the different branches of Theology. Among them is his contribution to ecclesiology and ecumenism. Moreover, Benedict XVI has also contributed much on the Theology of Priesthood.
The study will deal mainly on the
situation of Priesthood decades after Second Vatican Council and the Theology
of Priesthood of Benedict XVI and the importance of Renewal of Ministerial
Priesthood. The first part will be about the presentation of the different
situations, problems that highlighted the need for renewal. The analysis of the
situations will be mainly guided by Benedict XVI’s analysis of the situation
following Second Vatican Council.
The Second Part will be on the
discussion of the Theology of Priesthood of Benedict XVI. The factors that will
be discussed on the study of his Theology would be his understanding of
Priesthood.
The third part is about the
importance of Renewal of Ministerial Priesthood and how it is to be achieved
according to Benedict XVI. A priest, as emphasized by Benedict XVI, needs to
renew himself especially today wherein the world which he lives in is being affected
by the different situations.
A renewed priest! That is the
image, which I had in mind of a priest, believing in God and responding in
love. Such kind of priest is confident in facing the challenges presented to
him as pastor, the situation of the world, the demands of the laity. This is
possible through renewal.
