For the first time, the 10 great speeches of Benedict XVI's
pontificate are collected. From the first homily delivered as soon
as he became pope to the last public hearing, these speeches reveal
the depth of his theological reflection in simple language that has
nourished the faith of millions. Since Pope Benedict XV1 died he
has had a remarkably good press. Indeed many have argued that there
is a natural evolution between Pope Benedicts mission and that of
his successor Pope Francis. Dubbed and dismissed by many as an
unrepentant traditionalist, we now see a man of profound
intelligence and wisdom on matters relating not just to religion
but to what is not termed 'The Common Good'. It is thus more
important to read these texts carefully and with measure and not in
garbled versions dreamt up by the Press. With this in mind,
Benedict will be seen as an inspiring thinker who has a lot to
teach us now and the future. Included here are his speech on
visiting Auschwitz, his address to the House of Commons and House
of Lords , his address to the German Bundestag in Berlin, his
address to the United Nations, his notorious Regensburg speech and
his speech when he finally announced his resignation.
