It is truly awesome to me how the Roman Catholic Church trots out one multilingual polymath after another. John Paul II left a record of performance hard to match- one might expect a lull in his successor. Not so much. Pope Benedict is an accomplished Pianist, world class Theologian and Scholar, Linguist, and Quiet and Humble Teacher. All of it comes through in his writing. Then there is the puckish humor to lighten it all up. Read this book at least once to treat yourself to what real brilliance looks like. It is clear, concise, solid food for the intellect and the soul. He makes it seem so simple. That's what great Teachers do. God has again blessed us with this unusual human being. I liked the book !!

Dr Ratzinger is brilliant and his writing is music to read. Not easy reading but always worthwhile.
