Brilliant mind and prophet... God forgive me because i didnt see value of this man while he was Pope. I listened to stupid medias while they were mocking him as conservative as something old and bad, i was foolish, my knowledge and faith were weak. When he resigned i started to read his books and discovered how great this man is. Thank you for giving him to us, what a gift!
I have also just realized how brilliant cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was .
A great intellectual whose theology is centered in truth realized only through faith.
God bless you Pope emeritus!
Media is plural of Medium
There are some interviews in german he gave. May be I'll translate. This is a true brilliant Pope.
Just brilliant...
@@catholicprophecies that would be interesting to hear
Joseph Ratzinger is the wisest, most intellectual figure the Church has produced in recent history. I'm not a Catholic, but I'm conservative, and I see so much wisdom in his words.
In 1969 he was not Cardinal, nor even Bishop. He was just Father Ratzinger. Even more impresive!
Exactly! He was made a Cardinal on 27 June 1977, a month after being installed as Abp of Munich & Freising.
I am Lutheran and Pope Benedict XVI has always been a pope to admire. He is honest, clear, always pointing towards Christ. As a Lutheran I like the serious about him, he also writes wonderful books, so wise.
Read him more, he will get you back Home... Its time german people after 500 years to stop protesting
I miss his great Theological mind, his humility, his love for Holy Mother Church. How I wish he had continued to lead the Barque of Peter!
May God bless and keep our beloved Benedict XVI!
He is dearly loved and missed.💖
He is not good, time will tell trust me
I am on a process of reversion to the Catholic Church after many years as an Atheist. After hearing the quote at 9:42 I felt pure joy swell over my body. This perfectly summed up my feelings and I have never felt the presence of the Holy Spirit like I just did. Bless the Pope Emeritus and you for the Holy Spirit are truly working through you both.
Amazing. I'm so happy for you.
God bless Pope Benedict! Only the Lord can give him the strength to survive from his enemies.
thank you pope benedict for this wisdom ….OUR TRUE POPE.
Cardinal Ratzinger's (Pope Benedict XVI) prediction is true now more than ever.
Like Our Lady of Fatima said to little Francisco, we must pray many rosaries.
St.
What happened to our precept that "The gates of hell shall NOT PREVAIL AGAINT IT". That is God's words.
That is God speaking about His Church. Don't lose faith. God is in charge. Not the clergy not the people!
Say the Rosary everyday my friends
@@TheRajapala Amen
Hermawan Lukman , saying rosaries is satanic according to God. He said we should not keeping those repetitive prayers...
@@marie-marthetercy3758 So the Bible is satanic?! The words of the Our Father and Hail Mary is from the Gospel!
This man is a prophet of our times.
Interesting. So, do you think that the Grand Jury that convicted this BA'Al Priest of aiding and abetting PEDOPHILES are lying?
Look my channel for visions. Am a professional or. Am for Benedict of course. THE WORST IS NOT TO KILL A POPE BUT TO PUT HIM ASIDE AND MAKE THE CHURCH GOERS PRAY EACH MASS SAYING THEY PRAY FOR OUR POPE AND NAME A LIE. that's introducing in all even in front of Christ a lie. The spirit of the devil. It is like APOCALYPSE WHEN JESUS SAYS: JEZABEL TEACHING THE CHILDREN TO EAT PROFANE MEAT SO AS STUMBLING BLOCK. Of course a real pope is a prophet. Always been. But not antipopes. Francis is Antipope.

Would love to hear him talking about his own prediction and where we are now.
Love him!! Benedict you are loved💕💕🙏
He is also talking about those who do not want to hear the truth. Bearing one's cross is almost disappeared from Catholic culture. It has become fashionable to be catholic in name only but act protestant.
Thank you. How prophetic, we are undergoing this right now. The call to live a life of faith and holiness goes out to all of us.
Although I'm not Catholic, I really miss Pope Benedict. What an insightful and lovely man he is. I felt that your branch of the Christian communion was safe under him. I am tempted to, but I will say no more.
The current pontiff receives plaudits from secular critics of the Catholic church and from liberal dissenters within the church. That fact alone might present enough reason to look at him suspiciously. On the other hand, such observers sometimes misconstrue things Francis says, but doesn't quite mean, and then run off half-cocked with breathless stories about a pope with whom non-Christians can finally feel comfortable. Then again, the vigilant faithful sometimes attack him unfairly, before they analyze the meaning and intent his statements had in context. To make a long story shorter, I hesitate to overgeneralize about the pope, since I find it difficult to get an accurate read on him. He brings this controversy on himself, however, because the man does not think or speak coherently. Perhaps his leftist worldview and politics have addled his brain. My greatest concern is that he has surrounded himself with a Curia and other advisors who all think alike and who take their cues from the attitudes and values of atheist European culture and media, as well as from globalist elites. I believe they would feel more at home with a godless, Bible-disdaining university professor or a Jew-hating Muslim than they would with a solid, traditional, mass-attending communicant of the church in the American Midwest or the Philippines. As an outsider and non-expert on the Vatican, I want to stay cautious and don't want to offend folks who adore this pontiff, who is likely a dear man in some respects. Still, I listen skeptically to whatever he and his aides say. If he isn't a moral fool, he does a good impression of one.
Music Lover..... Your understanding is wrong. There are not "branches of the Christian communion" There is only the Church led by the Pope = Catholic.
God's Word says, "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." It does not say, "If you are received by men into a particular institution, you will be saved." The Holy Spirit, speaking through John the Apostle, also says, "Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah has become a child of God." He does not say, "Everyone who is baptized into the Pope's church has become a child of God." The Scripture continues, "And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God's Son does not have life." Again, notice that Scripture does not say, "He has given us eternal life, and this life is in His earthly, institutional church. Whoever enlists in His earthly church has life; whoever does not enlist in His earthly church does not have life." The Church, the body of Christ, is taught in the Bible to be made up of those redeemed souls for whom Christ gave His life as a ransom and atonement, who place their trust in His finished, saving work and who are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Bid, one of your own great saints - St. Jerome - said, "Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ." I could go on and on, proving my contention just from the verses I know by heart. Followers of the church headquartered in the Vatican may or may not be born-again members of God's family, depending on their relationship with God through Christ. Many are, I have no doubt. However, they definitely do not comprise the Church, exclusively.
Music Lover that is protestant B.S. Crap put out by Luther to justify heresy. What Christ clearly told us. is: Tu est Petrus et Hanc Petram Edificabo Ecclesia Meum. He also said: Hanc est Corpus Meum. Outside the One True Church there is no connection to Christ and no salvation ---- so you remain a protestant you risk the same fate as all the pagans and atheists before you.
Crude and classless, as well as clueless. You disgrace your religion.
I would like to see him take back the Throne of Peter.
I think he was forced to resign y the mason/judea controlled jesuits. He was the last worthy Bishop of Rome.
God bless Card. Ratzinger. God make a Saint of Pope Benedict XVI....he is a new Saint Augustine in my humble opinion...THANKS FOR POSTING THIS GEM
I miss Pope Benedict . Not only a holy God fearing man but a theological and intellectual force.
Thank you for that interesting perspective of Pope Benedict XVI.Although I am not Catholic,I do see where this man was a great theological mind.Bring back dignify to the position of Pope
What a wise man Pope Benidict Emeritus is, One day he will be declared a Doctor of the Church.
Yes, when the Church which has lost its way comes home
He is a living doctor of church
Imagine that!!! He prophesized all this but didn't stay as a Pope!!! I still feel the pain when he stepped down. Now we have a two Popes which has caused trouble that's the reality.
Tam Daly
I completely agree with you. I think he is one of the greatest Theological minds in the history of the Church.
He is loved and dearly missed!
Blessings to you.
Church Fathers.... Those are great teacher, he will be one of those
Those who love God will stay close to Him through His Son Jesus Christ and His Bride the Catholic Church with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It will be a small number because too many are full of the world and her loud noises. God is quiet and one must look deep inside to hear God. He doesn't yell.
That's why we should pray without ceasing.. our Mother ask to pray for each other
Saint Benedict XVI pray for us all 😢 ❤️ 🙏
Pope Benedict the XVI, what a holy,humble and insightful man this is.God bless and comfort him.
Thanks so much Janet. God bless you more in His evangelization as He leads you...
Every time I feel lost, I come here and listen to what Pope B16 said. It reminds me of what I should do in my life and not deviate from it due to my own foolishness.
He was not a Cardinal then, he was a simple priest!
Monsignor Marcel Lefebvre was right. We need, more urgent than ever, return to the true Tradition.
God bless Pope Benedict XVI for his speedy recovery.
Our true Roman Pontiff, our true Pope, is Pope Benedict xvi. God Bless our Holy Father.
I miss Pope St. Benedict, he was the best. God bless him....
Thanks for posting this link..I heard it this morning on Patrick Madrid..powerful..
Yes, this is an adorable man, greatly misunderstood who always said what he was doing but people only listened through their own opinions. I once sent him a fairy story I had written when he was Pope and His Holiness had the Secretary of State write me a thank you letter. Others were too importan to make that small/great gesture of a simple 'thank you'. God Bless him..
To me pope Benedict XVI is one of the great liberal theologian pope with strong conservative catholicism views, prefect for the congregation of faith, but the great deadly mistake he did is to step down, when God appoints you to do his mission it has to be undertaken and there is no way you can abandon, retreat or escape from it, have a look at Yona, so far when Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross he asked God if possible that cup of suffering to avoid him after overwhelming passion & agony unfortunately it couldn’t be until when the job done, likewise Benedict regardless of the complex situation he was going through, he was not supposed to resign unless health problem was a genuine reason for his resignation!. Otherwise he is a great pope whom I admire most!.
I have read his books and find that he treats Scripture with due respect. This is first and foremost because he is a man of faith.
Das ist sehr gut. Amidst all the scandals, this seems firmly insightful. Thank you.
THANKS FOR SHARING THIS...
I was praying once And I was reading/listening The Pope voice in latín Rosary . I may Tell You:. That convicción Is just understandable from
A clear feith !
Thank You Pope Benedict XVI. OUR POPE EMERIT.
He was brilliant as a child and became ever more brilliant as a priest, and Pope-the most brilliant Pope-; we miss or Papa.
I so wish he’d never resigned; but gave us so much more in completing 3 doctrines of the faith as Pope Emeries Benedict….he was a pope till his death.
Reading this makes his stepping down more inexplicable . He's definitely prophetic . In 1969 he was saying that the church of the political cult which we have today was already dead ; so i guess you could say if you believe his words that we have a kind of kabuki church until the Church is renewed with this new spirit he points to .
If you are old enough and remember the "old ways" like I do you feel sorry for the "youngsters" that were born 1970 and later. They have been and still are being cheated out of so much. I myself caught about the tail end of the "good" Church. But, I experienced it. I do hope that FATHER Ratzinger's prophecy comes true...ALL of it, for the good of the Church, the betterment of the faithful, and for ONCE be PLEASING not OFFENDING to God.
5:00 wow!!! Sooo true today with all the entertainments we have! You can flee fron yourself 24h a day through tv, concerts, sports, parties...
quick correction. The narrator comments that Pope Benedict was a cardinal in 1969. He was not. he was a lecturing priest in Freiburg Germany.
Then, when he became a cardinal?
However wise, prescient, and holy he was and is, Joseph Ratzinger was NOT a cardinal in 1969.
On June 18, 1968, Bp. Giovanni Battista Montini - then the head of the Vatican II Sect and known as “Pope” Paul VI - signed an “apostolic constitution” to change the Roman Catholic rite of ordination. These changes touched not only some of the more peripheral ceremonies but the very substance of the sacrament itself. The very words which Pope Pius XII, in 1947, had definitively decreed were necessary for the validity of the sacrament of holy orders, were changed by Paul VI in such a way as to render the ordination of priests doubtful and the consecration of bishops definitely invalid.
So Ratzinger was never a bishop or cardinal after 1969 either.
Patrick St. Paul that’s not true. You suggest that the apostolic succession ceased to exist after 69? If that’s the case, the Church is no more? Preposterous
He was not yet bishop or cardinal in 1969.
He is of the Light. Bergoglio is of Darkness.
He didnt resign!!! They ousted him
1969 J.R. was neither bishop nor cardinal but professor at the University of Regensburg.
The humility of the comments.... truly amazing !!
I always felt Pope Benedict was truly wise. (even before hearing this speech) Although I am still curious if the reason(s) he gave for his stepping down from the pontifecat was the true reason(s).
Id like to have the link Patrick spoke of.
he was made a cardinal in 1977
Im thinking the same exact thing about the church being started anew although it might become small because of the secularism but it will be much much much or many times more solid than the previous one in which it is run politically, but the church will become much more spiritual and the faith will ever become deeper. Its during those times that when you look at the church, it will become love and it will become a home. Its hard to explain cause im not a scholar by any means or something. But what Papst Bednedikt xvi said does make sense with the way things are going on right now. Soooo no need to be afraid, for it Jesus Sacred heart that will triumph in the end alongside with the immaculate heart of Mary. Viva Cristo Rey!
It is "unbelievable" our just he was. We are living those days.
I'm seeing churches there and there, as one near my home, priests getting older, the edifice (the church) as well, exterior walls falling apart. Promoters Buyers who want to buy for the land, meaning destroying the church, under the pretext that it would cost 5 millions to rebuilt or "secure" the edifice.
On the other side, "freedom" taking places of the enrichment of the "Faith"...
"Pope Benedict" had a vision, a prophecy. This is what we're living today. Such prophecy is in line with, "living in the Holy Spirit".
We have to pray through the easiness of today to not loose our Faith, our desire of God, our heritage, our Catholic knowledge.
God bless!
Thanks for this video!
Yes indeed. Bingo bango. Boggling. Pope Benedict is MY papa!
Jesus said do not call anyone father except for him ..
this was into the onset of vat 11, why would he remain there instead of vat 1? what was the reason told to the people, why to get away from vat 1?
Just beautiful !
It is a shame that priests of these times that Cardinal Ratzinger predicted will be more authentic in their faith relying less on glory and political power, etc... can't even visit their parishioners in their homes anymore. It has all become about the Liturgy; this is not a fulfillment of his predictions I don't think. I say this out of sorrow rather than criticism.
self medicating in some way that we become detached from the Father, God Almighty
I had to laugh when they came out with the movie "The Two Popes" wherein they made Benedict look like an angry, resentful and rigid old man and Francis was made to look like a free spirit full of love, acceptance and affection for the people of the Church. The makers of the movie obviously knew nothing about either men.
Daily Rosary
Miss pope Benedict XVI. God rest his soul
Will Jesus find faith when he returns ?!
Ratzinger Benedict XVI.. the greatest of all theologians.. yet so humble..
I believe the man is a true Saint and will be declared one in the future. I remember reading an excerpt from one of the first books of his that I read, that spoke of the “...Smaller but more devout Church of the future...)Paraphrase), and found it most compelling even then. Clearly he is a Prophet in our times, as much maligned as the Prophets of old. I have always loved him dearly. There was such a deep peace I always felt while reading him-and I am what might be called a “voracious reader.” At least that is what I’m told. May God keep him with us for a while longer. And then may he be given the Heavenly crown he deserves. Thanks Patrick.
Lord helps us all to do your will.
Pope Beni blame the 1968 crisis... So it must be related to V2
Brilliant !!
Prof. Karl Rahner was even more accurate and was one of his closets colleagues
Wish he could do Skype interviews sometimes
with that bold statemnt of his... how and why could he justify giving up the papacy???? the Church needed him.. but he left and 9 years on he is still alive... so ill health was not really the reason..
2020 performing religious services is now forbidden in many countries because of a bad flu while churches are being burned all over the world (Chile, France, United States, etc)... We'll meet again in the catacombs brothers and sisters!
Amen!
"Undoubtedly, the Church will discover new forms of ministry and will ordain to the priesthood approved Christians who pursue some profession. In many smaller congregations or in many self-contained social groups, pastoral care will normally be provided in this fashion.
Alongside this, the full-time ministry of the priesthood will be indispensible as formerly. But in all of the changes at which one might guess, the Church will find her essence afresh and with full conviction in that which was always her center: faith in the triune God, in Jesus Christ, the Son of God made man."
- Fr. Joseph Ratzinger (1969) on "approved Christians" (viri probati) ordained in "new forms of ministry" in the priesthood that serve "alongside this, the full-time ministry of the priesthood"
Sounds like a 'part-time' married priesthood, the way 'part-time' permanent deacons serve while in a profession. A worker priest is someone who lives like the laity in their every day work, family, etc. And B16 did bring about married priests with the Ordinariate, a new form of ministry in the priesthood. Viri Probati in the Amazon will most likely be next.
I blog more of this, aligned with the Magisterium, at www.MarriedRomanCatholicPriesthood.blogspot.com
Ami mistaken or I thought he studied medicine and was a psychiatrist?
I never heard that. Pope Francis studied chemistry.
What will remain is not the Church of the political cult, which is already dead. But the Church of faith. I would say Francis representing the first, and Benedict the latter.
Miss Immaculate Heart Radio Irrelevant radio is not the same
So he sounds like a Pius man back then. What happened after he became a pope and got together with Jews.? Praying with Jews . Maybe now that he is older he is back to his roots.
Bingo bango dude
¿Did he profetized that he was going to be a Pope and that will abdicated and leave us in a mess?
Grande Benedicto...que pasará cuando muera y nos deje...???
Great Theologian , VISIONARY... he describes everything that is happening on 2018.... Some Catholic Parishes, Universities and Schools kept the surname “catholic” just for the money...

Kay Smith how much worse do you think it will get?
Jim McIntyre God showed me many things when I was young. However, God is able to omit some punishments as we repent with true conversion. I saw enemy planes overhead, civil war, aliens that are really demons (told to pray) and saw myself in prison waiting for guillotine. Churches are fasting and praying. Trump has given us a window of peace through the grace of God. Catholics must be onward Christian soldiers holding our Rosaries and be ready for living out the book of Revelation. Our faith may be tested. I believe in the power of prayer and the love of God.
Kay Smith sadly that vision is not hard to imagine. Lord have Mercy on us!
Porf. Karl Rahner was even more accurate and was one of his closets colleagues
You are reading to fast for people that are not of inglish mother language.
And you are not giving us enough time to read by ourselves.
Sorry but this was a radio show, so I had no control of the speed. You can pause the video if it is too fast.
Cardinal Ratzinger argued for the belief that the god of Islam is synonymous with the Christian God. This notion is heresy and its implementation is proved out by his praying with Muslims.
@Collins Anosike, these religions recognize Abraham, but that does not mean they are the same religion. Catholics understand that truth matters and attributing false revelation from God is heresy and a serious offense. Islam and Judaism falsely believe there is spiritual benefit from having a physical connection to Abraham. Catholics believe that through Holy communion we are connected to God. Catholics believe this connection, if rejected, excludes one from eternal salvation.
@@sedevacantist1 You haven't read the Holy Bible!
@@monicabella7894 From Ratzinger’s book “The Meaning of Christian Brotherhood” page 88
“Protestantism has made an important contribution to the realization of Christian faith, fulfilling a positive function in the development of the Christian message and, above all, often giving rise to a sincere and profound faith in the individual non-Catholic Christian” So Ratzinger calls the Protestants Christians. Did you read this in the bible? Ephesians 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, how many faiths are there?
Pope Pius XI, Rerum omnium perturbationem (#4), Jan. 26, 1923: “The saint…Francis de Sales, Bishop of Geneva and Doctor of the Universal Church. Like those brilliant examples of Christian perfection and wisdom to whom We have just referred, he seemed to have been sent especially by God to contend against the heresies begotten by the [Protestant] Reformation. It is in these heresies that we discover the beginnings of that apostasy of mankind from the Church, the sad and disastrous effects of which are deplored, even to the present hour, by every fair mind.”
The great apostasy foretold by the apostle St. Paul is all around you and you are blind to it.

It is a cult of death and violence having brought nothing but blood and ignorance to the world. Not for nothing is your cult in conflict with EVERY alternative system and creed that it encounters today, and has encountered throughout history. The blood drenched borders of islam.
As for your venal claim of it being the fastest growing, that is debatable, but what isn't debatable is that birth rate within your cult is high. The wombs of islam are weaponized. You and I know that.
Ratzinger looks like a Sith Lord and was obviously not a good enough person to tackle the child abuse/homosexual crisis in the Church
AaAaAaAaAaA most Germans became mentally weak after WWII
He looks like a Sith lord because he is old right? Looks is not important in this case.
What's important is whether he did anything to confront the gay/predator priest crisis in the church. One estimate is as high as half of the clergy are gay and 11% prey on minors. Is not silence in the face of evil, evil itself?

Modernism spoken by a true Modernist heretic and condemned by the true Catholic Church.
Or do you agree with B16 when he writes that Jesus is not necessarily the Messiah?
you talk bollicks
What a twisted lie. He never said that
Patrick St. Paul- What is it about powerful religious truth, that brings out the crazies?
Where would you possibly get the idea, that Pope Benedict, one of the most profoundly faithful and articulate disciples of Jesus Christ today, could possibly deny Jesus as the Messiah? Are you psychologically unbalanced, or taking mind altering drugs?
That is the only explanation I can think of for such a ridiculous statement! You and all the other nut cases denigrating this truly admirable defender of the faith, whose voluminous public writings leave no doubt whatsoever about his true faith, are truly puzzling to me. Maybe, there is just an unbelievable amount of ignorance about the man and all that he is written!
A prediction for the Catholic Church under the papacy of our blessed Francis was published by the Benedictine monk, Fr. Arnold Wion in 1595:
"In psecutione.extrema S.R.E. sedebit."-----"He will reign in the final persecution. of the Holy Roman Church."
