“o one I've ever met had a more lucid or orderly mind than Joseph Ratzinger,” Weigel added. “He believed that the truth of the Gospel was the truth of the world, and he bent every effort to help others understand that truth.” After his death, accolades poured in from leaders and contributing authors to Ignatius Press, the primary English-language publisher of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI’s works. These works include his bestseller “Jesus of Nazareth” and his earlier works like “Introduction to Christianity” and “The Spirit of the Liturgy.” Ignatius Press has published more than 80 books by Benedict XVI or about him.
Fessio added that he looks forward to seeing Benedict XVI declared a doctor of the Church. This special title uses “doctor” in the sense of the Latin word meaning “teacher.” The title is bestowed upon a saint whose writings are deemed to be of universal importance to the Church. Father D. Vincent Twomey, SVD, said it “will come as no surprise” to him if Benedict XVI is named a doctor of the Church. Twomey, a friend and former doctoral student of the late pope, is a professor emeritus of theology at St. Patrick’s Pontifical University in Maynooth, Ireland.
“I believe that future generations will honor him with the title of Church Doctor,” she said. “His intellectual legacy is immense and at least on par with St. John Henry Newman, one of the intellectual heroes of his youth.”
