Fr. Brian Daley first encountered Pope Benedict XVI when he was simply known as Fr. Joseph Ratzinger, a German theologian with a brilliant mind in the days after the Second Vatican Council. Daley, who was pursuing a graduate degree in theology in Frankfurt, received a copy of Ratzinger's lectures as one of his texts. The texts had not even been published yet, but Daley said those writings inspired him as a student. "They were really hot stuff, they were not printed," he said. "They were just kind of photocopied. ... They were really exciting and wonderful stuff." Now, as the 85-year-old pope prepares to step down from the head of the Roman Catholic Church, Daley recalled his first encounters with the German theologian. Daley, now a theology professor, met Ratzinger in person on a retreat during those early years as a student. As Ratzinger and another retreat leader led discussions on the person of Christ, Daley said the future pope spoke informally and without notes. "He said Mass for us every day," Daley said. "That was a lovely meeting. He probably wouldn't remember me ... but I've always remembered him. He's very personable, easy to get along with, not at all the figure the media sometimes presents." Years later, Daley approached the same man again in October 2012. This time, they were in the Vatican, and Pope Benedict XVI was presenting the professor with the 2012 Ratzinger Prize in Theology. The award recognized Daley's work on early Christianity, which he said is also one of Benedict's interests. "It was a total surprise to me. ... I was very moved to receive it, bowled over," he said. When Daley approached the pope at the award ceremony, he said Pope Benedict spoke with him in German, as they had spoken years before. "He knew what I had been working on. ... He knew about Notre Dame," Daley said. "It was a very warm and cordial meeting. I was really delighted to meet him and humbled by the opportunity." While the pope steps down, Daley said Benedict's legacy as a theologian will remain a defining factor of his tenure at the head of the Church. "He is first and foremost a theologian, a really remarkable theologian, one of the great theologians of the Catholic Church," Daley said. "People who know him well say this is what he loves to do." Another Notre Dame theology professor also recently visited the Vatican - department chair John Cavadini. Cavadini presented Benedict with a copy of a book he had edited titled "Explorations of Benedict XVI's Theology." Cavadini described their meeting as "a huge honor" that he would never forget. "It was a beautiful moment," Cavadini said in an email interview. "He smiled and grasped my hand with his and thanked me. He seemed genuinely pleased. "He seemed to smile too when he saw the imprint: University of Notre Dame." Cavadini said Monday's announcement was surprising but admirable as the pope grew older. Benedict attributed his resignation to a lack of physical and mental strength to continue the job. "I think it's a beautiful example, to know when you can't do a job to your own standards for the job, and not to cling to power," he said. The pope's decision to step down was in some ways "a welcome precedent," he said. "After all, bishops are required to turn in their resignations at 75," he said. "The pope is a unique case, so the policy should not simply transfer, but I think on the whole it makes it easier for someone to realize when maybe they are not performing at the level they themselves expect of others."

For the first time in nearly 600 years, the Pope will step down from the head of the Catholic Church. Pope Benedict XVI, leader in the Vatican since April 2005, announced he would step down at the end of February in a statement to the College of Cardinals on Monday. He delivered the announcement in Latin to a small gathering of cardinals at the Vatican on Monday morning. "After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry," Pope Benedict said. "In order to govern the barque of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me. For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter." Pope Benedict's resignation will take effect at 8 p.m. Central European Time on Feb. 28, at which point the College of Cardinals will assemble in conclave to begin selecting the next Pontiff. University President Fr. John Jenkins released a statement Monday expressing deep gratitude for the pope's leadership. "As surprising as today's announcement is, it is apparent that Pope Benedict has made a decision that is motivated by his deep love for the Church," Father Jenkins said. "He has been a dedicated pastor to Catholics worldwide for the past eight years - and even before as a cardinal, bishop and priest. As a former university professor, he is a serious intellectual with an understanding of education and appreciation for the life of the mind, and that has been important to all of us in Catholic higher education. As the College of Cardinals considers a successor to Pope Benedict, I pray God will guide their deliberations." Jenkins met the pope on Feb. 1, 2006, following a general audience in the Vatican's Paul VI Auditorium, the release stated. At the time, Pope Benedict called Notre Dame "a great Catholic university." Nearly 50 Notre Dame Trustees, officers and their spouses were present at the papal audience, according to the release. Jenkins also attended an address by the pope in April 2008, when Benedict addressed more than 300 Catholic education leaders at the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. The release recalled Jenkins' statements from that visit. "It was a warm and gracious address that emphasized the value of Catholic education," Jenkins said at the time. "It was a very positive experience. There was an expression of gratitude and appreciation for everyone in the room involved in Catholic education. He spoke of education as being central to the life of the Church, and, of course, that is what Notre Dame is all about. It was a great affirmation of our central mission." University President Emeritus Fr. Theodore Hesburgh offered a faculty position to then Fr. Joseph Ratzinger, who was a German theologian before his election to the papacy, the release stated. "I was searching around the world for an up-and-coming theologian," Father Hesburgh said in an interview with the South Bend Tribune soon after Cardinal Ratzinger was elected pope. He wrote a letter of invitation to the young cleric, inviting him to join the faculty for a year or permanently. "He wrote back, 'I'd love to come, but I don't think my English is good enough yet,' " Father Hesburgh said. Bishop Kevin Rhoades, of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, fondly recalled meeting Pope Benedict and expressed his prayers for the future of the Church in his statement. "It was just one year ago, on February 9, 2012, that Bishop D'Arcy, I, and the other bishops of Indiana met with Pope Benedict during our ad limina visit to Rome," he said. "I recall with joy and gratitude that meeting and the warmth and kindness of our Holy Father. His words to us were words of brotherly love. I was moved by the Pope's evident wisdom and holiness. "I invite all the faithful also to pray for the Cardinals as they prepare in the coming weeks to meet in Conclave for the election of a new Successor to the Apostle Peter." Cardinal Timothy Dolan, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and Archbishop of New York, is one of 11 of American cardinals who will gather in Rome to elect a new pope, according to the Vatican website. In his statement, Dolan also expressed gratitude for Pope Benedict's unifying pastoral message. "The Holy Father brought the tender heart of a pastor, the incisive mind of a scholar and the confidence of a soul united with His God in all he did. His resignation is but another sign of his great care for the Church," Dolan said. "Though 78 when he elected pope in 2005, he set out to meet his people - and they were of all faiths - all over the world. ... He unified Catholics and reached out to schismatic groups in hopes of drawing them back to the church. More unites us than divides us, he said by word and deed. That message is for eternity." Cardinal Francis George, Archbishop of Chicago and another cardinal who will vote for the next pope, expressed his gratitude for the way Pope Benedict led the Church. "Pope Benedict XVI has, in all circumstances, placed the will of God for the good of the Church before every other consideration. That same resoluteness of purpose speaks in his statement announcing his resignation from the Chair of Peter," George said. "He has now shown great courage in deciding, after prayer and soul-searching, to resign his office at the end of this month. "With the gratitude of sons and daughters in our hearts, we ask the Lord to bless him and give him strength, as we begin to pray now for the one who will succeed him as Bishop of Rome, Successor of Peter and Vicar of Christ."

Her residents battled skunk odor and dressed up like shepherds for her. She struggled with cancer, but she was always put her residents' struggles before her own. And now Amy de la Torre, former Cavanaugh Hall rector and adjunct Spanish instructor, will be missed across campus, but especially among the past and current women of her dorm. De la Torre, who served as the Cavanaugh Hall rector from 2005 to 2011, passed away Thursday after a struggle with cancer. 2006 graduate Elizabeth Callahan served as a resident assistant (RA) during de la Torre's first year as a rector in the dorm, and she returned to work as an assistant rector (AR) with de la Torre from 2007 to 2009 while earning her law degree. "The smaller things, I remember the most," she said. "When the RAs do rounds, Amy always walked around and did rounds with them. That's how she got to know [her residents]. She wasn't just walking to walk. She would stop and talk. We would talk about TV, we would talk about classes, we would talk about boyfriends, we would talk about careers. "She gave great advice, and I think the girls really respected that." Callahan remembered de la Torre as a good listener with a quick sense of humor. "She took the job really seriously, but she didn't take herself seriously," she said. "Being a rector, there are some things you have to laugh at." When a skunk sprayed de la Torre's chocolate lab Jackson on a late-night walk, Callahan said she remembered the rector laughing and wrangling the 90-pound dog in a shower stall and scrubbing the smell out with some of her residents. "That shows how much they loved her," Callahan said with a laugh. De la Torre established the Christmas pageant that has since become a dorm tradition during Callahan's senior year. The hall residents perform the pageant, penned by de la Torre, every year for a group of local elementary students and children living at the South Bend Center for the Homeless. "Every year, she had to rewrite it because more people wanted to join," Callahan said. "We had more shepherds and angels, and the shepherds were more chatty. ... She was always so excited about it that all the other girls bought into it." 2011 graduate Holly Hinz also remembered the flurry of activity and excitement around the Christmas pageant. "She would always have a lot of fun with it, but she would also make sure we did it right because there were all these people coming," Hinz said.Hinz became an RA during her senior year not only because she wanted to work on hall stuff, but also because she wanted to work with de la Torre. De la Torre retired at the end of Hinz's junior year, but she said the dorm community the former rector established lived on. "She kind of just seemed like a mother away from home," Hinz said. "When I came to Notre Dame, I really bought into this idea of your dorm being your home. I know of assumed all dorms were like that, but I think Cavanaugh had an especially strong feeling of that. That's because of Amy."Hinz said de la Torre said the Divine Mercy in the Cavanaugh Hall chapel every Friday afternoon. The collection of girls in prayer was always an eclectic one, she said, because de la Torre would grab whoever she found in the hallway and bring them along with her to the chapel. "She always had a really impressive faith," Hinz said. Current senior and RA Meredith Kugar said the dorm will pray the Divine Mercy in the Chapel this afternoon and then visit the Grotto together in de la Torre's memory. After they heard the news of the former rector's death, a small group lit candles at the Grotto for her Thursday night as well.Kugar's class entered Cavanaugh Hall as freshmen during de la Torre's last year as rector. "From the very beginning, it was so apparent that everyone in the dorm loved her," Kugar said. "The three grades above us were speaking so unanimously, saying, 'We love her.' That word was used so much to describe her. For a dorm of over 200 girls to pretty much unanimously love their rector, that's special. "I think the love that everyone had for her, she gave that right back to everyone in Cavanaugh." During that year, 2011 graduate Celia Johns was also an RA. When Johns was in trouble during her sophomore year, she said she was nervous to work with her rector, but she said de la Torre supported her as more than a disciplinary figure during that time. "It wasn't just like she wanted to enforce those rules," Johns said. "She asked about what else was going on in my life. "My interaction with that was so transforming, and when I was an RA, I took so much of that with me, the way she was able to handle problems and help people through problems without losing sight of who they were as a person, recognizing people for more than just the actions they had done." When she became an RA, Johns said she worried again about the effect that incident would have on her chances to be hired for the job. "[Amy] said, 'I'm hiring for who you are now, not who you used to be," she said. "And that was really powerful that someone I admired so much was giving me permission to move on with my life." Brian Coughlin, associate vice president for student affairs, said a funeral will be held for de la Torre in Florida, where her father lives. She has three children, two of whom are both Notre Dame graduates. "I know that the women in Cavanaugh absolutely adored her," he said. 2011 graduate Melissa Truitt, another former RA in Cavanaugh, echoed Coughlin's sentiments. "She's pretty much the reason I got involved with my dorm community to the extent that I did," she said. Truitt described hearing the news of de la Torre's death as "just overwhelming sadness." "She was such an amazing woman," she said. "No matter who you were, you knew Amy cared about you." Contact Megan Doyle at mdoyle11@nd.edu

To the Class of 2016, welcome. Get ready for failure. (No offense. Seriously, keep reading.) You are all high school valedictorians and veterans of the honor roll. You blew your SATs and ACTs out of the water. You won awards. Four years ago, I drove up to Notre Dame just like you did this weekend. I looked around at the glittering golden dome and the neatly trimmed South Quad lawn, and all I saw was perfection. I looked around, and I thought I would need to be perfect to make a life for myself here. Then I bombed my first Calculus test. And I mean, really bombed. Then I slept through my alarm clock and missed class. Then my first journalism professor told my entire class that one particular sentence in my article was the worst he'd ever read. Then I fell for someone who was wrong for me. Then I used all my Flex Points with way too many weeks left in the semester. Then I wiped out on an icy sidewalk. Then I thought short hair would work for me. (Maybe the worst mistake yet.) Then I walked into the wrong classroom. As a junior. It's been three years since I felt overwhelmed by the perfection surrounding me on this campus. In those three years, I realized my first impression was not correct. Notre Dame is not perfect, and neither am I. And that's okay. I discovered more about academics from bombing exams than from studying for them. That journalism professor is the reason I will pursue a career in newspaper reporting after graduation. I learned how to ask for help and to be brave enough to acknowledge my shortcomings. My best friends catch me when I wipe out, both literally and figuratively. I'm not saying you shouldn't study, or you should chop off your hair with reckless abandon. I'm saying that you should get ready for failure, learn from it and excel in spite of it. Get ready to walk into the wrong classroom repeatedly. It's always embarrassing - trust me. Get ready to seriously tank your first organic chemistry exam. You will do better on the next one. Or you can become a business major, your choice. Get ready to drink too much at your first college party. When the hangover goes away, laughing at yourself won't physically hurt your brain. Get ready to lose your ID. Replace it at Card Services for a whopping $30. Get ready to experience your first dining hall date and your first college breakup. Life goes on. Sometimes you have to screw up to succeed. So here's to four years of failures. To the Class of 2016, welcome.

As students of Notre Dame, we would like to extend some words of encouragement and solidarity to our fellow classmates. To the members of the LGBTQ community, and indeed, to any and all members of the Notre Dame community who feel rejected, neglected, or discriminated against in any way, we want you to know how much we care for you. We wish to use this letter to remind everyone that we are all members of the Notre Dame family - regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other factor. As members of that family, it is our honor and duty to stand behind you. Please, never ever forget that there are many here who love you and will do whatever it takes to make you feel at home. There are so many students that support you and want for Notre Dame to be a place of welcome for you. If you are feeling ostracized, we encourage you to reach out to us for anything you need. This is our home, and it should be a loving place for all to live. As students, what we say to one another is far more important than anything we could say to the administration or alumni about this issue. No matter what stance anyone else takes, know that everyone involved in this effort welcomes you on this campus and will do whatever it takes to make sure that we make this community one that each and every person feels that they are a part of.
