To be a Catholic theologian: it is a call...

Nancy Pelosi thinks she's a theologian. And sadly so do many Catholics, too; clergy and otherwise.

If you're inclined to know what it means to be a Catholic theologian then read Donum Veritatis which was put out by Cardinal Ratzinger in 1990:

Read, too, The Nature and Mission of Theology by Cardinal Ratzinger, first published in 1993; English edition by Ignatius in 1995.
