Pedro Rodriguez (theologian)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pedro Rodriguez is a theologian who specializes on church studies or ecclesiology. He teaches at the University of Navarra, in Pamplona Spain and was its dean of theology for many years. He is a priest of the Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei.
Rodriguez's critical edition of the original manuscript of the Catechismus Romanus, the catechism of the Council of Trent, was praised by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger as being of "great significance" for his own work on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. [1]
William May has praised him for his work of analyzing Opus Dei and the founder's teachings, saying that "he has masterfully" discussed the founder's teachings on holiness. [1] Some of Rodriguez's works are:
