Quote Ratzinger Pope Benedict speaking about Jesus:
“If we may borrow the language of the theory of evolution, it is the greatest ‘mutation,’ absolutely the most crucial leap into a totally new dimension that there has ever been in the long history of life and its development.
Specifically he is referring to the resurrection here, this seems like the resurrection redefined by the guy at the top of the Catholic hierarchy.

I was surprised that the Pope to succeed Pope John Paul II could come from Germany. I was expecting that the new Pope was going to come from Italy. Although I do not have viewpoint about Benedict XVI, I am kind of happy that the Benedict XVI comes from the same country (Germany) as one of my friends from college last year comes from the same country as Benedict XVI.
