Papa Benedetto XVI
Pope Benedict XVI, born Joseph Ratzinger in 1927, served as the 265th pope of the Roman Catholic Church from 2005 until his resignation in 2013. He was known for his conservative theological stance and his efforts to address scandals within the Church. His papacy was marked by a focus on the importance of tradition and doctrine, and he emphasized the need for a new evangelization of the faith. Following his resignation, a rare move in papal history, he became Pope Emeritus, continuing to influence Catholic thought and practice until his passing in December 2022.
