Here is what he (Ratzinger)has said concerning the Resurrection of 1 0 Christ:
• It is not the resuscitation of a corpse.
• It is an evolutionary leap into a new dimension of human existence.
• It is not a historical event like the birth of Christ or His crucifixion.
• It is outside of space and time, i.e., it did not happen in a specific place and at a specific time, and is something which cannot be sensed by the senses.4
• Our Lord’s eating of the fish was an exaggeration of St. Luke, in which he contradicts himself. • The appearance of Christ to St. Paul was “light.”
• The appearances of Christ to the other disciples are “real encounters with the living one who is now embodied in a new way.”
• The witnesses to the Resurrection of Christ “experienced a real encounter, coming to them from outside, with something entirely new and unforeseen, namely the selfrevelation and verbal communication of the risen Christ.” (p. 275)
"The well known eminent theologian and ardent antiModernist Father Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange O.P., writing nearly a hundred years ago, said this: “Among the modernists, E. Le Roy [an ardent disciple of Henri Bergson, a famous evolutionist] proposed a similar theory, for he denied the ‘reanimation of the corpse’ as impossible, and taught that Christ rose in a certain sense, inasmuch as He did not cease to act after His death, and to the extent that His soul in another life retained a certain virtual matter.” This description sounds remarkably close to what Ratzinger says.
