brilliant Pope Emeritus gift to Holy Mother Church"If we look closely, in every moment, we are at a crossroads: do we want to follow the self, or God?”
—Pope Benedict XVI, 13 February 2013

Dr. J. Steven Brown, the editor of the essential compendium A Reason Open To God, which features dozens of Benedict’s greatest papal texts, remarked that the present Pope Emeritus is one “who only comes along in history every so often.”
