 | | Joseph Ratzinger (to read writings by Cardinal Ratzinger before his election, CLICK HERE!), the future Pope Benedict XVI, was born in Bavaria, Germany, on April 16, 1927, Holy Saturday, and baptized the very same day, in the newly blessed Easter water. |
 | | Their vote was for a defender of the truth, a man of prayer, a humble servant of the servants of God. |
 | | Besides his academic articles and official Church documents, the new Pope Benedict XVI provides us with a window into his mind and heart through several books, the Ratzinger Report (1996), The Spirit of the Liturgy (2000), God and the World (2002) and Introduction to Christianity. |
