the new papa

Wednesday, April 20th, 2005

新聖父是德國人若瑟‧拉青格(Joseph Ratzinger),聞說是保守派。他取號Benedict XVI,「官方」譯名該稱本篤十六世。

想到本篤會。本篤會,老牌修會也,惜未熟會規背景,只知會祖為聖本篤(St. Benedict)。香港也有聖本篤堂,於沙田圍,於九十年代中落成,建築風景甚為現代化。

有點好奇:如果那預言應驗的話,新教宗跟橄欖樹有甚麼關係呢?

May our ‘papa’ rest in peace

Perhaps it is not very appropriate to call him, the Late Pope John Paul II, as ‘our’ ‘papa’, though the word of ‘Pope’ has a meaning of ‘papa’ or father, and people are already diversed for the term ‘our’ and ‘papa’ and ‘our papa’. His work for us should be remembered, even though I cannot agree all of them.
