Peace be with you,

I wondered if you could provide a link for some recent talks on Pope Benedict’s thought. These talks are given by solidly orthodox Jesuits, and are at a high level of scholarship.

The first talk is by Fr. Robert Araujo of Loyola University, Chicago. Fr. Araujo was the legal counsel for the Vatican delegation to the United Nations for several years up to this year. His talk is very timely, as it is on Pope Benedict’s social thought. Fr. Burgaleta is a biblical scholar from Fordham University, and gives an excellent assessment of “Jesus of Nazareth” as a contribution to biblical scholarship. Finally, Fr. Mueller, of Marquette University, gives a talk that is an engaging presentation on the Christology of “Jesus of Nazareth.”

The talks are available at: http://fordhamfrc.org/jpii/pagetwo.htm
