Subject: [PKF] Feyerand and the new Pope


Has anyone noticed Feyerabend's reference to the new pope?:

[Around 1990?] 'Cardinal Ratzinger, the pope's expert on doctrinal
affairs, gave a talk in Parma about Galileo and mentioned me in support
of his views' (Killing Time: The Autobiography of Paul Feyerabend
(1995), p.178).

Feyerabend doesn't mention whether he appreciated this reference, but
one of the more interesting (but perhaps not reverential?) photos in the middle pages of his
autobiography is captioned with this very quote.

John Preston,
Department of Philosophy,
The University of Reading,
England.
