XVI. Benedek
XVI. Benedek, born Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger on April 16, 1927, was the 265th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, serving from 2005 until his resignation in 2013. He was the first pope to resign in nearly 600 years, citing advanced age and declining health as his reasons. Known for his conservative theological stance, Benedek emphasized the importance of tradition in the Church and sought to address the challenges posed by secularism. His papacy was marked by efforts to improve relations with other religions and a commitment to addressing the sexual abuse crisis within the Church. After resigning, he took the title Pope Emeritus and lived in the Vatican until his death on December 31, 2022.
