In addition, as he mentioned the "gratitude" expressed on several occasions by Paul to Aquila and Priscilla, Benedict XVI stated: "Along with Paul’s gratitude, there must be ours as well. It is through such couples as Aquila and Priscilla that Christianity reached our generation. This happened in the first generation and this will happen now". In the catechesis, the Pope recalled the "extremely special importance" attached by tradition to the figure of Priscilla, "the memory of a woman who has certainly been a proactive presence, extremely valuable in the history of Roman Christianity".” “
