In his speech he condemned the ferocity and “bloodthirstiness” of Islam, but omitted to make similar comments on all the atrocities which Christianity has committed throughout its history of 2000 years.
When this pope first visited his homeland Bavaria in 2006, he held his infamous lecture at the Regensburg university, known since then as the “ Regensburg lecture“. His brother who is also a theologian still lives there. Ratzinger lived in Regensburg many years as a professor in theology before he became bishop and later cardinal and he has a house there. Regensburg is not far away, half an hour drive with a car to the north from where I last used to live in Germany. In the latter university town I presented officially the new theory of the Universal Law at the annual conference of the German Physical Society in March 1998. On several occasions in the past I have made the readers of this website aware of the fact that my life is closely intertwined with that of Ratzinger and that I have lived in all places that have also shaped the destiny and career of Ratzinger, such as Bonn, Münster, Munich, Freising and Regensburg. Due to this reason, the language of this parable is very difficult to translate in English. This parable was first written in German language and uses some very specific expressions and facts dealing with the life of Ratzinger, which I studied carefully during my sojourn in Freising, where the resigned pope graduated from the local seminary and became a priest in the same year I was born. In my analysis, I departed from some ingenious elaborations of this greatest thinker of modern Western civilisation on human mind and morality. This parable was part of my investigations on the philosophy of Descartes in my gnostic book “ Philosophic Sources” (see page 68). I wrote this sarcastic parable about the young, unripe soul of the resigned pope Ratzinger in 2006, one year after he became a pope, in order to illustrate what old, fear-based behaviour patterns drive such young souls like this man to follow a religious career in the Christian Orion Church.
