Benoît xvi : un pontificat contrasté
Paul Christophe - Collection L'histoire à vif
Résumé
--
On December 13, 1294, after only a few months as pope, Celestine V informed his cardinals of his decision to abdicate. They were scarcely surprised, since the pope - a former hermit - had amply demonstrated that he was totally unsuited to be the Bishop of Rome. When they elected Benedict XVI, it was seen as the crowning of an exemplary career. So when he also renounced his position, on February 11, 2013 - of his own free will and for the good of the Church - the reaction was one of stupor and astonishment... But also understanding, because Benedict XVI justified this renunciation by citing his diminishing strength and his inability to assume the ministry to which he had been entrusted to the maximum. In his final audience, he did not conceal the fact that the barque of the Church had been rocked by 'rough seas' and 'headwinds'. Paul Christophe examines the successes and failures of this pontificate, as well as the complexity of a man who was conscious of the reforms that needed to be undertaken, yet too aged to carry them out. The renunciation of his post was the intelligent and prophetic act of a man of faith concerned with the future.
