Re: The theological legacy of Benedict XVI
Happy birthday in Heaven Papa Benedetto.
You are missed
Contributions are immense.....in all my theological studies, his books were on the sources listed for every unit ....whether it was for Theology, or New Testament, or Old Testament or Spirituality or Ecclesiology, Ecumenism, etc.......His legacy lives on through his writings which are recognised today as crucial in Catholic Universities and Seminaries.
Rest in peace Pope Benedict XVI
