Pope Benedict XVI: Behind the Scenes

Joseph Ratzinger’s life did not begin on 19 April 2005, when the Conclave elected him to become Pope Benedict XVI. Like all of us, his life story was a uniquely personal journey from his birth until his death on 31 December 2022.

The theologian Pope, the first in 600 years to resign his papal office, encountered innumerable people and, in one way or another, touched countless lives. This book presents some aspects of the background story of Benedict XVI, as offered by individuals who, to some extent, remained behind the scenes whilst, as Pope, he necessarily stood on centre stage.
