評論•本篤十六世聖號意味和平使者

新教宗一旦選出,第一件事就是要選擇自己的聖號,而新任教宗採用了“本篤十六世”(Benedict XVI)這個聖號,一般認為代表著他希望成為和平使者,擔任不同立場意見之間的橋樑。

有人說,新教宗選擇的聖號或許暗示對先輩的景仰,也成為11億教徒預期新教宗未來走向的初步跡象。

教廷評論員約翰艾倫就說:“你要取甚麼名字,這很有趣,因為這是我們可以窺見教宗風格的最早途徑。”

新任教宗聖號本篤十六世,帶有繼承本篤十五世的意義,本篤十五世在1914年當選教宗,除了拉近東方和西方教會的距離之外,還帶領全世界的天主教徒度過第一次世界大戰的紛亂,迎接和平的降臨。

“本篤”的名字被認為具有仁慈和容易親近的意味,並帶有和平使者以及協調者的意味。

事實上,教宗所取的聖號,也多半代表著他的風格,像是“庇護”就代表著保守的立場,“若望”則意味著比較自由,而1978年的新教宗,則首次同時採用開放的“若望”和保守的“保祿”2個名字,成為若望保祿一世。

而在911事件、伊拉克戰爭接連發生後,許多地域性衝突一觸即發的現在,新任教宗的名字似乎也代表了他對全世界未來的期待。

本篤十六世一上任,面臨的天主教會與國際環境也是問題重重。反恐戰爭還在各地進行、教會在避孕等議題上遭到抨擊,而西方教徒人數減少,拉丁美洲等地的教徒卻日漸增加,如何拉近雙方成為教會首要任務。本篤十六世能否不負“本篤”盛名,尚待觀察。
