The best description I ever heard about Pope Benedict XVI was from his fellow German, Joachim Cardinal Meissner: “He has the intelligence of twelve professors combines with the piety of a child on the day of his first communion.”
Pope Benedict was a prolific author both before and after becoming pope; to say he was a towering intellect would be an understatement. In 2011 he altered the Mass in the vernacular to match the Latin which I appreciate so much. In 2008 he named Archbishop Dennis Schnurr to become the Archbishop of Cincinnati.
May Our Lord receive Pope Benedict XVI into His holy presence.
