Pope to Academy Members: "You Can Help Church Respond to New Questions in Society"

Pope Benedict XVI spoke of the importance of offering authentic Catholic responses to contemporary cultural problems, during a private audience on January 28, 2010 with 300 people taking part in a special joint session of the pontifical academies, according to the Catholic Culture website.

The Pope observed that the academies were established to provide the Holy See with expert guidance in various fields.

With that help, he said, the Church can respond to new questions that arise in society.

Pope Benedict told the pontificial academy members, "You are called to make your qualified, competent, and enthusiastic contribution to ensure that all the Church, and particularly the Holy See, is able to exploit the appropriate opportunities, languages, and mass means necessary to enter into dialogue with modern cultures."
