The Legacy of Pope Benedict XVI

Three years ago today, Pope Benedict XVI was laid to rest in the Vatican. Let us pray for his peaceful repose as we look back on his life.

The Legacy of Pope Benedict XVI

Pope Francis led us in prayer during the last days of Pope Emeritus Benedict.

To understand his resignation, it requires a look at Pope Benedict’s life from Bavaria to the papacy.

Even years after his papacy and death, interest in his theological vision remains strong, as those who were closest to him continue his legacy. 

Thank you for your continued support, and always remember: God has a plan for each of us, and He makes no mistakes,
