Pope Benedikt XVI. this morning at the airport from Warsaw from Polish president, one military honour guard and approximately thousand humans with latin Taizegesängen was received.

(, Warsaw kreuz.net) the holy father underlined in his speech to Warsaw airport that he had „so much desired “to visit the homeland of its loved predecessor Johannes Pauls II.:

„I came, in order to follow the traces of its life, from its childhood to its departure to the memorable Konklave of 1978. “

Benedikt XVI. first then its speech spoke at Italian under tosendem applause on Polish and continued.

On Sunday Benedikt becomes XVI. the National Socialist extermination camp Auschwitz Birkenau visit.

There the Pope wants to meet the survivors of the National Socialist dictatorship:

„Together we therefore to pray that the wounds of the past heal, owing to the healing, used up the God in his quality us, by calling us, each other to assign. “

To the question, as he itself feel to visit as German the concentration camp the Pope answered that he was there particularly as a catholic. That is the most important point.

Before the lunch the Pope in the cathedral of Warsaw met approximately thousand priests.

The Primas of Poland and archbishop of Warsaw, an old expenditure for Bible gave Josef cardinal Glemp (76) to the holy father.

The Pope prayed some minutes at the grave of the holy-moderate, earlier Primas of Poland, Stefan cardinal Wyszynski († 1981).

In a speech Benedikt XVI reminded. also to the important church prince, „their Primas of the millenium called that, and which served the church in the midst of hard and continuing examinations faithfully “.

In the new millenium the Pope encouraged the priests to believe in Kraft of its office: „In the Sakrament you everything received, which you are. “

„If you as priests `Ich' say, then their it does in the name of Christ, who avails itself of your hands and lips and your gifts. The size of the priesterlichen service can make fear. But it really chose us, should we its view trust. “

„Leaving we not to rush itself: the time, which we dedicate to Christ secretly prayer, is not lost time. We cannot be discouraged: Christ is silent, but it acts at the same time. “

The believers would expect one from the priests only: To be specialists, who lead humans to the meeting with God. The priest must be been versed not in economics, architecture or politics, but only in the spirituellen life - so the Pope:

„Christ necessarily ripe, male, genuine and paternal priests. Therefore the priests honesty need a religious leader and confidence to itself, into the divine mercy. “

The private secretary of many years of Johannes Paul II. and archbishop of Krakau, Stanislaw cardinal Dziwisz (67), explained before the Pope journey before the German daily paper `Welt', that the Benedikt XVI. from his predecessor because of his independence in thinking is extraordinarily estimated:

„Johannes Paul II. discussed each important affair with cardinal Ratzinger. “

Benedikt XVI estimated Poland. for its openness, its simple human quality, also for it that he so fast learn the difficult Polish language.

In the interview cardinal explained Dziwisz also that those would have suspected Poland the choice of the German magenta carrier:

„It knew the Roman Kurie. It knew itself out in the world. He was a close coworker of its predecessor. Whose does it require still more? “

Benedikt: @ voice from Vienna

Politics and economics to make is the thing of the laymen, who have an authority in this area. A consecration does not lend authority in these areas.

… it does not exclude it in addition. Please give to the forum here information over the politico-economic qualification of Michael Glos, his indication Federal Minister for Economic Affairs. Interesting would over be also similar information: Hans Eichel, Sigmar Gabriel, Jürgen Tritin, Joschka Fischer, Franz Müntefering, Wolfgang Tiefensee, Reinhard Klimmt etc. and so on however the demand for a peaceful solution of the Iraq problem of 2003 and for a fairer world is to the Pope forbidden and exclusively habilitierten specialists left. Clearly.

God hard: Radio Marya

The Pope has himself decided against by priests in favor of the Polish government oriented towards the right by radio Marya turned!

Benedikt: deusexmachina

Ah, you are a representative of the so-called cabinets of the specialists. Do you protest against the expressions of opinion of politicians, journalist etc. if you at the table also always sit and maintained, are silent yourselves you then elegantly, as soon as the discussion has to do nothing more with your field of activity? They discussed - according to own statement - some time with Nazis in their forums. Do I go quite in the acceptance that you locked a historical and a political science study before? If not, don't you find it presumptuous a little to express itself in addition? You could me - where we are about - a copy of your theology diploma and your conclusion in church history to dispatch. Ausweislich of the fact that you express yourselves for this, must have made you therein a conclusion. Or about not?

Jörg Guttenberger, Cologne: Expertise of the priests

The priests must be absolutely specialists in theology and Seelsorge. A Spezialistentum in other faculties is not necessary. Embarrassing is however, if priests are excellent of specialists in political science etc., but of theology and Seelsorge no notion have. Like that the words of the Pope are meant.

That a priest, as each humans, who want to be taken seriously, apart from its occupational specialized knowledge have a good general education, is just as natural.

Antonius: Voice from Vienna

Thanks for the explanation! They rank among the few participants with kreuz.net, which have interest in a material discussion. Very much refreshing. Me very much made happy! Greetings!

Voice from Vienna: Antonius

It could be, I unclearly expressed itself.

Me is not however yet completely clear, which you mean with „God meeting “. Because I see no direct place of a God meeting in an economic system first of all, since it is even „only “a system.

That agree I. Was also not my intention.
I mean: one must give those to the economy and policy answers on the questions due to a God relationship -, like the Hl. Father it means, from priests to secure is.
I.e.: the priests must no concrete answers to the questions of the economy, politics,…, give, - that can do them also not, since the appropriate authority is missing to them in addition. These answers can give only those, which are no priests, who have however the authority in addition and in that, from the priests secured, God relationship.
