🙏 OBITUARY TO POPE BENEDICT XVI [LATIN (spoken/Video) / ENGLISH] 🇩🇪 It is well known that Benedict XVI was an enthusiastic Latin speaker, why it´s an intention of mine to pay this last respects to that departed Pope in the official language of the Vatican (see the previous posted Video). When the German Pope Benedict XVI stepped down from the highest office in 2013, he aroused the unusual admiration of all and amazed the world. That Pope, a scholar beyond all measure, drew the attention of the people again and again; because he was a great, perhaps even the greatest philosopher on the Chair of Peter, who did not give in to those people who deconstruct or overthrow everything that until then had always been of significance [Note: zeitgeist of value relativism]. Irrespective of religion and creed, he impressed men because of his sharp intellect and his unshakable attitude. He always fervently fought against attitudes adapting morals according to the exclusive benefit and the mainstream opinion [Note: Utilitarianism of Morals], as well as against all too liberal ways of thinking contradicting the truth [Note: Relativism in Thinking], and also against a knowledge and science of things only according to human´s capacity of perception [Note: Positivism of Knowledge]. Based on the dignity of his moral seriousness and astonishing education, he reached far beyond the field of faith and religion, providing a great contribution, especially regarding the preservation of the Occidental way of life, by defending the traditional customs and virtues of Europeans and cultivating heritage and intellectual education. When elected Supreme Pastor, he took the name of Benedict, that Benedict of Nursia, abbot and founder of the monastic order, who is venerated as one of the patron saints of Europe, representing the foundations and the variety of the peoples and nations of Europe. In fact, for today´s communities and nations of Europe, nothing less is at stake! What else remains to be said? Let us remember Pope Benedict XVI gratefully regarding the spirit of that mandate! Rest in peace!
