Joseph Ratzinger was one of the most prolific and significant Catholic theologians of the 20th century. Given his important roles in the Roman Catholic Church, he was involved in some of the formative conversations about Holy Orders. On this episode, we have returning guest Sr. Sara Butler to discuss Ratzinger's theology of Holy Orders and how it interacts with and differs from Protestant theologies of ministry, especially in relation to the divisive question of Women's Ordination.
Sr. Sara Butler is a member of the Missionary Servants of the Blessed Trinity. She has a PhD and STL in Systematic Theology and has taught at two archdiocesan seminaries in Chicago and New York. She has published many scholarly articles and has written a book called The Catholic Priesthood and Women. John Paul II appointed her to the International Commission in 2004 and Pope Benedict extended her appointment and named her a theological expert for two World Synods of Bishops and a consultor for the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization. She is the Professor Emerita of Dogmatic Theology at the University of St. Mary of the Lake. Of interest to many of our listeners, she served as a member of the Anglican-Roman Catholic Theological Consultation in the USA from 1973-84 and from 1992-2004.
