Pope Benedict XVI
Building a Church of True Pastors
and Faithful Teachers

Pope Benedict XVI "is very keen on priests being true pastors, practicing their ministry as God ordains and the Church requests," said Father Pedro Nuñez of the Archdiocese of New Orleans in an interview with Zenit News Agency on April 29, 2005. He is going to ask great fidelity of priests."

He continued: "He is also going to ask this of professors of Catholic universities: They must carry out the secular teaching that corresponds to them, but they also must begin to be faithful to the teachings of the Church. In this connection, we are beginning to see a rebirth of Christianity here in the United States."
