“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This catechism helped to bring Fr. Z into the Catholic Church!

Great news! One of the greatest liturgists (yes, liturgists) of our time, whom we were privileged to have as Pope for eight brief shining years.
Can’t wait to get it!
That is great news! Ordered through your link.
I read it a year ago, in spanish, and it’s is a treat. It’s great. Really, really. You are going to enjoy it.
Out of interest, is there any reason why he’s still referred to as Joseph Ratzinger when referring to works before he became Pope? I’ve been doing a bit of work on stuff written by Pope Gregory the Great recently, and I note that everything he wrote, regardless of whether it was actually written before he became Pope, is now known as having been written by Pope Gregory I.
Is this because he specifically published them under his earlier name, or is it just an editorial decision to avoid people assuming that because he was Pope his writings are therefore infallible?
Ignatius Press is also having a wonderful sale on many books by or about Benedict. I’m a more recent revert to Catholicism and engagement with the faith and the works of the past 2,000 years, and found them to be a good start to my library. They were all $3 each, a steal. Some included in the lists are gorgeous coffee table books. A sampling:
The sale goes through Good Friday.
Meh. A German theology professor. What does he know about liturgy?
Should have added /sarcasm, lest I be misunderstood.

@Vincent – I believe I read that it was the request of Pope Emeritus that these works be published under the name Joseph Ratzinger.
Legisperitus: “One of the greatest liturgists (yes, liturgists) of our time”
Just “one of”? Upon reading this, I paused to wonder who might be a contemporary liturgist whose published liturgical scholarship and influence on liturgical practice–from EF restoration to OF reform–might warrant serious comparison with Joseph Ratzinger’s. I couldn’t come up with a plausible name.
We wants it, precioussss! And the forthcoming volumes. Most exciting!
Does this include Spirit of the Liturgy, or is that a separate title altogether?
Joseph Ratzinger’s theology in one sentence:
‘The concluding part of the “secret” uses images which Lucia may have seen in devotional books and which draw their inspiration from long-standing intuitions of faith.’ -The Message of Fatima, Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
Anyone know where to find a table of contents for this volume?
Just ordered it, thanks for the link!
