Benedict XVI: a teacher for the whole world
It was not until I got to the Jesuit-run Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI, that I realized just how deeply some Catholics disliked him. I remember sitting in a class as one of my classmates, a Catholic priest, went on for a good ten minutes about the scourge that was Pope Benedict XVI. He also threw in a choice dig about the oppressive nature of clerical dress. By then I had been ordained in the Episcopal Church; I was wearing my collar because when I left parish ministry for doctoral work my bishop said “You are there for the sake and service of the Church, so you need to dress like it.” The post Benedict XVI: a teacher for the whole world appeared first on Catholic Herald.
