Pope Benedict XVI passed away on the 31 December 2022. This article for The Times (4.I.2023) is one of the hardest things I've ever had to write. It is neither a tribute, nor an obituary but just some random thoughts about Pope Benedict XVI - a man whose life and work changed mine in ways which can never be constrained by mere words.
Never good enough for "our" - "my" - Benedict, but not the last word either. The full piece may be read here.
