Pope Benedict XVI--What Should We Think?
If John Paul II was considered a conservative pope,
Ratzinger is seen as a further shift to the right. That
screeching sound you hear is the sound of liberal
Roman Catholic theologians and activists seared
and chastened by the election of the church's most
conservative leader as the next pontiff.
What are evangelicals to think of the new pope?
By any measure, this is a difficult question, for it
raises the entire universe of issues that stand
between evangelical theology and the doctrines
taught by the Roman Catholic Church. Of course,
the papacy itself is a first-order issue of contention.
Evangelicals, thankful for the last pope's clear
affirmation of human dignity and the objectivity
of truth, must be relieved in some sense to see
John Paul II followed by an ardent defender
of the sacredness of human life, the integrity
of marriage, and a commitment to truth. Yet,
Ratzinger's doctrinal conservatism will, of course,
extend to the very issues most crucial to the
evangelical/Roman Catholic divide.
Evangelicals rightly point to the papacy as
an unbiblical office that, by its very nature,
compromises the integrity of Scripture and
invests an unbiblical authority in an earthly
ecclesiastical monarch. Claims of papal
succession, papal authority, and papal
infallibility do nothing but widen the
breach between evangelicals and the
Roman Catholic Church.
