BOOK REVIEW
SUGGESTED READING: The Rise of Benedict XVI, by John L. Allen, Jr.
When Pope John Paul II grew older and his health began to fail him, everyone wondered who would be the next Pope. What will he be like. This book summarizes the new Pope's writing on his views, interwoven with many interviews with cardinals. He is considered to be a conservative member of the College of Cardinals. There is a lot of information on the new Pope's past challenges as a German amidst the secularity of Europe. The book clues readers as to what type of Pope Ratzinger will be as he faces the challenges of a changing church and the fall of many priests to sexual misconduct. The Rise of Benedict XVI provokes a speculative look at the New Papacy.
