New Ratzinger Study Center in Rome


In my continued search for world masters in the thought of Pope Benedict, I recently learned of a newly founded center of studies in Rome dedicated exclusively to the thought and works of Joseph Ratzinger/ Pope Bendict XVI (beginning this past Winter session 2009-2010).

It is called Centro J. Ratzinger http://www.ratzinger-papst-benedikt-stiftung.de/centro.html (sponsored by the German Pope Benedict Foundation [Papst Benedikt Stiftung] with offices in Salzburg and Munich) and is housed in Casa Balthasar http://www.casabalthasar.org/ .

My first knowledge of the new Center came through a priest friend who is presently doing a sabbatical year of studies there. Then, having forgotten the details, I more recently contacted Father Fessio about it who immediately referred me to the Casa Balthasar.

I shall add the Centro link to my blog sidebar "Great Links" so as to check it occasionally for updates on it's courses, seminars and projects. The experts at the Center are Stephen Horn of the Pope Benedict Schulerkreise (Passau) and Bruno Gautier.
