Papa Benedetto
Pope Benedict XVI, born Joseph Ratzinger, served as the head of the Catholic Church from 2005 until his resignation in 2013, making history as the first pope to resign in nearly 600 years. Known for his deep theological insights and conservative approach to church doctrine, he was a prominent figure in addressing modernity's challenges to faith. His papacy was marked by efforts to strengthen Catholic identity and combat secularism, alongside controversies regarding the church's handling of abuse scandals.
