Pope to Freiburg's seminarians

During the afternoon of Saturday, Pope Benedict XVI met with seminarians from the archdiocese of Freiburg.

The encounter took place in Freiburg Seminary's Chapel which is dedicated to Saint Charles Borromeo.

Speaking informally to some sixty seminarians, Pope Benedict focussed on the importance of three things: the Word of God as an encounter with the living Christ; the sense of belonging to the Universal Church; and the relationship between faith and reason.
