His Eminence '''Godfried Danneels''' (born [[June 4]], [[1933]]) is the [[archbishop]] of [[Mechelen]]-[[Brussels]] and the chairman of the [[Belgium|Belgian]] episcopal conference.

'''Introduction'''

<p>

Born in [[Kanegem]], [[West Flanders]], he entered the Grand Seminary of [[Bruges]] to become a [[priest]]. He was ordained in [[1957]]. He studied [[Thomas Aquinas|Thomistic]] philosophy at the Higher Institute for Philosophy in [[Leuven]] and [[theology]] at the [[Pontifical Gregorian University|Gregorian University]] in [[Rome]]. After obtaining his doctorate in theology, he taught at the Bruges seminary and at the [[Catholic University of Leuven]].

An equipment code describes the transponder and/or navigation capability of aircraft. The equipment code is is usually designated as a one-character suffix to the aircraft type in block 3 of the FAA flight plan form. Air traffic controllers (ATC) issue clearances based on filed suffixes, therefore it is important for pilots to use the appropriate suffix. For example, if a desired route requires GPS, then the pilot should file /G, even if the aircraft also qualifies for other suffixes. Pilots are recommended to file the maximum capability of their aircraft in the equipment suffix.

As a scholar, he carried out a profound study of the [[liturgy]]. The articles he wrote for the Dictionary of the Liturgy have made him famous throughout the Catholic world.

He was actively involved in writing ''[[Sacrosanctum Concilium]]'', a document which initiated the liturgic reform of the [[second Vatican Council]].

In [[1977]], Danneels was nominated bishop of the [[Antwerp]] [[diocese]] by [[Pope Paul VI]]. Already two years later, [[Pope John Paul II]] promoted him to archbishop of Belgium. He received the title of [[cardinal (Catholicism)|cardinal]] in [[1983]].

Since [[2001]], Cardinal Danneels has been a part of the permanent secretariat of the episcopal [[synod]]. He is also a member of the Roman [[Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith]] and of the [[Congregation for the Clergy]]. Between [[1990]] and [[1999]], he was international chairman for [[Pax Christi]].

'''DME:'''<br>

His episcopal motto, ''Apparuit humanitas Dei nostri'' ([[Epistle to Titus|Titus]] 3, 4), shows his attachment to a Christian humanism. He is seen as one of the leaders of the "reformist party" within the church. For instance, he has said that [[condom]]s are acceptable as a means of preventing [[AIDS]].

/D No transponder<br>

/B Transponder with no Mode C<br>

Danneels has been tipped as a possible future pope (''[[papabili]]''), but this seems mere speculation. His progressive image and his recent call for a debate on limiting the term of the papacy have not won him many friends in the Vatican.
