One of the best-known theologians since the 1960s and a prolific
author, Benedict XVI is viewed as a defender of traditional Catholic
doctrine and values and of their importance in the survival of Western
civilization. He is considered to be a conservative and a close ally
and friend of his predecessor, John Paul II. However, earlier in his
career, he was considered a liberal. He served as a professor at
various German universities, and was a theological consultant at the
Second Vatican Council before becoming Archbishop of Munich and
Freising and Cardinal. At the time of his election as Pope, Benedict
had been Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
(curial heads lose their positions upon the death of a pope) and was
Dean of the College of Cardinals.
During his papacy, Benedict XVI has emphasized what he sees as a need
for Europe to return to fundamental Christian values in response to
increasing de-Christianisation and secularisation in many developed
countries. For this reason, he has identified relativism's denial of
objective truth - and more particularly, the denial of moral truths -
as the central problem of the 21st century. He has taught about the
importance for the Catholic Church and for humanity of contemplating
God's salvific love and has reaffirmed the "importance of prayer in the
face of the activism and the growing secularism of many Christians
engaged in charitable work."
