Pope Says Real Theologians Are Those Aware of Their Own Limitations

Pope Benedict XVI says real theologians are those who are aware of their own limitations and do not fall into the temptation of trying to restrict God to the limits of human intelligence.

The Pope gave this definition today, December 3, 2009, during his homily at a Mass he celebrated for the International Theological Commission, Vatican Radio reported. The Commission has gathered in Rome this week for its annual plenary assembly, which continues through December 4.

"The great scholar becomes humble, and precisely in that way, sees the folly of God that is wisdom -- wisdom that is greater than any human wisdom," the Pope said in his homily.
