Cardinal Jose Advincula of Manila said the retired pontiff “prophetically warned us against the ‘dictatorship of relativism’, from which our post-truth world is now suffering”.
“He proclaimed the truth of the Gospel through the gift of his eloquence, but also more poignantly, through his humility and silence,” Advincula said.
“Let us honor the memory of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI by learning from his preaching and following his example of Christian life,” Advincula said.Benedict XVI died at 95 years old on December 31 in a small former monastery where he had lived after stepping down from the Petrine ministry in 2013. Beginning Monday and for three days until the funeral on Jan. 5, his remains will lay in state in St. Peter’s Basilica for veneration of the faithful.
