When Joseph Ratzinger, a young prelate, was unexpectedly thrust into the Apostolic Palace, a profound friendship developed between him and the future Pope. Monsignor Georg Gänswein, his loyal aide, accompanied him throughout his papacy, witnessing the influential leader's reign from both sides of the curtain. From his temporary appointment as private secretary in 2003 until the Pope's abdication in 2013 and subsequent years as emeritus, Gänswein walked alongside his dear friend, the Roman Pontiff Benedict XVI. In this captivating book, Monsignor Gänswein presents an honest and spiritual testament to the man and the papacy, challenging unfounded characterizations of rigidity and secrecy. Written with the involvement of renowned Vaticanista Saverio Gaeta, the book delves into a particular decade in history, confronting false claims of intrigue and cover-up surrounding Benedict XVI. It sheds light on a pope who faced a changing landscape and a public that often misunderstood him and his style of governance. Monsignor Gänswein offers a captivating portrayal of Benedict XVI as one of the most affable and intellectually formidable popes in Catholic Church history. He contextualizes many of Benedict's theological positions, revealing that Benedict seamlessly lived everything he promulgated. His unwavering faith served as the foundation for his personality as both a teacher and a leader. This biography stands as a unique and insightful exploration of a remarkable figure who left an indelible mark on the Catholic Church and the world.
