The Importance of Pope Benedict XVI Through the Ratzinger Prize | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin presented this year's Ratzinger prizes recalling the importance of Pope Benedict XVI's thought concerning the relationship between faith and reason. The recipients are theologian Pablo Blanco Sarto and philosopher Francesc Torralba Roselló, both from Spain. Since 2011, the Vatican's Ratzinger Foundation has awarded this prize to distinguished scholars. Father Federico Lombardi, president of the Ratzinger Foundation and former spokesperson for Pope Benedict XVI, addressed the honorees. He explained that Joseph Ratzinger never wanted to build his own system of thought or establish his own school. He taught us to seek the truth with the power of reason and the light of faith.
