Catholic News Agency reported yesterday about the details of this year’s installment of Pope Benedict XVI’s annual “Ratzinger Schulerkreis.”
In English, “Ratzinger Schulerkreis” means “Ratzinger School Circle.” It refers to the gatherings that the Pope has convened for many years, discussing various themes, with some of his former theology students.
Since he became Pope, themes have included evolution and Islam. This year’s Schulerkreis theme will be the “Mission of the Church,” CNA reported.
The gathering will take place Aug. 27-30 at the Pope’s summer residence at Castel Gandalfo.
