I am a Roman Catholic, a member of St James Cathedral parish in Seattle, the Director of Education for Seattle Opera. I am a fan of Hans Urs von Balthasar's Theological Aesthetics, and a joyous supporter of Pope Benedict XVI. I am interested in Gregorian Chant, opera, classical music, and the writings of Tolkien, Lewis, Williams, Sayers, and Dante.
They say he's penning his first encyclical this week while he is on vacation. What will be his theme? What will be his focus? I imagine whatever it is--the Church, the Liturgy, ecumenism, truth vs relativism, Beauty--it will be from the perspective of his Petrine Ministry, that is, witnessing to Jesus Christ.
