What is the Legacy of Pope Benedict XVI?


On Thursday, January 5, as Pope Francis celebrated the funeral Mass for his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, EPPC co-hosted a panel on the legacy of a theologian who some say will one day be considered a Doctor of the Church. As Pope for eight years, Benedict’s teaching envisions a Church moving forward into a broader culture awash in relativism. Senior Fellow Francis X. Maier joined Kathryn Jean Lopez in conversation with Mary Ann Glendon and Fr. Joseph Fessio, SJ.
