can the Pope write a best seller??
When Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was named Pope Benedict XVI it was an indication that there might be some changes in store for the Roman Catholic Church.
Ratzinger is known to be a staunch conservative. I have been waiting to see what sort of changes he would try to enact as Pope. The other day he stunned me by getting rid of Limbo. For those of us who came up through the parochial schools, Limbo was a cherished if somewhat nebulous destination.
I can still remember asking the nuns; what is Limbo? Who goes there, and why? Now Limbo is in limbo, gone forever-with one sweeping papal gesture.
Today I opened the mail and was astonished to find that Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI has just published his biography of Jesus. “JESUS OF NAZARETH” (Doubleday) is described by the Pope as “my personal search for the face of the Lord.”
I can’t wait to read it.
