Papa Ratzinger Forum melder at pave Benedikt sist helg var sammen med 40 av sine tidligere doktorgradsstudenter på den årlige samlinga, for tredje gang på Castel Gandolfo.
This year, the Schülerkreise resumed their discussion of evolution and creation, begun last year, with emphasis on the theological and philosophical aspects of the issue this time. The proceedings of the 2006 seminar, which was focused on the scientific debate over evolution, have been published in a book, Schoepfung und Evolution, which came out in Germany on the Pope’s 80th birthday last April.
Lecturers invited this year included Ulrich Luecke, scientist-theologian from the University of Aix la Chapelle, and philosopher Rolf Schoenberger from the University of Regensburg.
