Ordained priest (1951) – With his brother Georg

Brilliant academic career – Professor of theology at several German universities

Pope Benedict XVI's papacy (2005–2013) was marked by:

Emphasis on the relationship between faith and reason – A hallmark of his theology

Jesus of Nazareth trilogy – His personal scholarly work, published as pope

Summorum Pontificum (2007) – Allowing wider celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass

Spe Salvi and Caritas in Veritate – Encyclicals on hope and charity

Anglicanorum Coetibus – Creating personal ordinariates for Anglicans entering the Catholic Church

On February 11, 2013, Pope Benedict XVI shocked the world by announcing his resignation – the first pope to do so since Gregory XII in 1415. He cited declining strength due to advanced age. His decision set a precedent for future popes and demonstrated profound humility. He lived the remaining years of his life as Pope Emeritus until his death on December 31, 2022.
