God And Beer- Edition 11- Prof Tracey Rowland (Notre Dame University Australia)
A event from the Knights of the Southern Cross Victoria to bring together Catholic men and women of all ages from across the south-east suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, several times a year. The aim is to inspire and strengthen Catholics by providing ideas and inspiration for renewal by drawing on the truth, beauty and goodness of the Catholic faith.
The tenth face-to-face event (held at the Matthew Flinders Hotel on Wednesday March 20, 2023) featured Ratzinger Prize winner Prof Tracey Rowland of Notre Dame University Australia. Prof Rowland gave a magnificent tribute to the late Pope Emeritus XVI. Born Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI served as the Pope from 2005 until his resignation in 2013. He is widely considered to be one of the most significant figures in the Catholic Church in recent times, known for his strong emphasis on tradition, reason, continuity and the importance of the Eucharist. He was also a strong advocate for the New Evangelization, and worked towards Christian unity and the strengthening of relations between different religions. He also made significant contributions to the Catholic Church's theology, liturgical, scriptural, moral and social teachings, sacred music, art, anthropology, philosophy.
Professor Tracey Rowland is one of the world's leading theologians and has written two books and many articles about Pope Benedict XVI's life and works. She is the former Dean of the John Paul II Institute's Melbourne campus and currently holds the John Paul II Chair of Theology at Notre Dame University in Sydney. In 2020 she was awarded the Ratzinger Prize, informally known as the 'Nobel Prize for Theology'.
