dc.description.abstractJoseph Ratzinger was born April 16, 1927; in Marktl am Inn, a town in southern Germany. His father was a police officer who came from a family of farmers. Here, Ratzinger is pictured in his German army uniform during World War II after he was drafted In 1943. He served for a time in an anti-aircraft unit that tracked Allied bomb­ing raids. He deserted in the waning months of the war and returned to Traunstein,. where he had grown up. U.S. troops took him prisoner, but he was released in June 1945. He returned to his hometown and resumed his studies as a seminarian . Ratzinger was ordained as a priest in 1951 after studying philosophy and theology at the Univer­sity of Munich and at another school in Freising. Here he poses with his family following his ordi­nation, standing with his brother, George, left. Seated from left are his sister, Maria, his mother, Maria, and his father, Josef. In 1953, he received his doctorate in theology and four years later, he was qualified as a university teacher, teaching dogma and fundamental theology at four Ger­man universities As a young priest, Ratzinger was on the pro­gressive side of theological debates and served under Cardinal Josef Frings, the reform-minded archbishop of Cologne, Germany. Here, he lec­ tures in Freising in 1955. Later, he served as a consultant to Frings during Vatican II in 1962. In March 1977. Pope Paul VI named Ratzinger archbishop 01 Munich and Freising and elevated him to cardinal a month later. He was the first diocesan priest after GO years to take over the pastoral ministry of the large Bavarian diocese . Here, the new archbishop greets hundreds of well-wishers on his arrival in Munich on May 23, 1977 Once the archbishop of Munich and for many years prefect of the Sacred Con­gregation for the Doctrine of Faith, Ratzinger, 78, was widely acknowl­edged as a leading theologian before the College of Cardinals elected him as the successor to John P Ratzinger served for 20 years as his chief theological adviser. As a young priest he was on the progressive side of theological debates but shifted to the right after the student revolutions of 1968. In the Vatican, he has been the driving force behind crackdowns on lib­eration theology, religious pluralism, challenges to traditional moral teach­ings on issues such as homosexual­ity, and dissent on such issues as women's ordination. The dean of the College of Cardinals since November 2002, he was elevated to cardinal by Pope Paul VI in June 1977en_US
