At the conclusion of this historic conclave, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany, Dean of the College of Cardinals and Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, emerged as the newest successor of St. Peter - and as the first pope of the third millennium. In this informative biography, acclaimed author and journalist Greg Tobin offers a captivating look at the man chosen to lead the Catholic Church, including: -The inner workings of the conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI; -His childhood, family, and seminary formation; -His career as a scholar and theologian, and his elevation to cardinal; -The spiritual and political issues facing the Catholic Church today - and how Benedict is likely to respond; -How the new pope fits into the grand historical context of his predecessors throughout the ages; -The death of John Paul II and a poignant look back at his celebrated Pontificate. What lies ahead for the Catholic Church and its people? Where will its new shepherd lead them? . . . explores these questions - and more . . .
