Each Of Us

Each of us is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed. Each of us is loved. Each of us is necessary.....Pope Benedict XVI

  Pope Benedict XVI was head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State from the year 2005 till his resignation in 2013. Following his resignation, he chose to be known as "pope emeritus", a title he held until his fatality on 31 December 2022.

Ordained as a priest in the year 1951 in his native Bavaria, Ratzinger embarked on an academic career and established himself as a highly regarded theologian by the late 1950s. He was appointed a full professor in the year 1958 when aged 31. After a long career as a professor of theology at several German universities, he was appointed Archbishop of Munich and Freising and created a cardinal by Pope Paul VI in 1977, an unusual promotion for someone with little pastoral experience. In the year 1981, he was appointed Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, one of the most essential dicasteries of the Roman Curia. In 2002, he also became Dean of the College of Cardinals. Before becoming pope, he had been "a major figure on the Vatican stage for a quarter of a century"; he had had an influence "second to none when it came to setting church priorities and directions" as one of John Paul II's closest confidants. Following the death of John Paul II on 2 April 2005, a conclave elected Ratzinger as his successor on 19 April; he chose Benedict XVI as his papal name in honour of Benedict XV and Benedict of Nursia.

  Benedict's writings were prolific and generally defended traditional Catholic doctrine, values, and liturgy. He was originally a liberal theologian but adopted conservative views after the year 1968. During his papacy, Benedict advocated a return to  fundamental Christian values to counter the increased secularisation of many Western nations. He viewed relativism's denial of objective truth, and the denial of moral truths in particular, as the central problem of the 21st century. Benedict also revived several traditions and permitted greater use of the Tridentine Mass. He strengthened the relationship between the Catholic Church and art, promoted the use of Latin, and reintroduced traditional papal vestments, for which reason he was called "the pope of aesthetics". He also established personal ordinariates for former Anglicans and Methodists joining the Catholic Church. Benedict's handling of sexual abuse cases within the Catholic Church and opposition to usage of condoms in areas of high HIV transmission was criticized by public health officials, anti-AIDS activists, and victim's rights organizations.

  Citing health reasons due to his advanced age, Benedict resigned as pope on 28 February 2013. He became the first pope to resign from office since Gregory XII in the year 1415, and the first without external pressure since Celestine V in the year 1294. He subsequently moved into the newly renovated Mater Ecclesiae Monastery in Vatican City for his retirement. The 2013 conclave elected Francis as his successor on 13 March. In addition to his native German language, Benedict had some proficiency in French, Italian, English, and Spanish. He also knew Portuguese, Latin, Biblical Hebrew, and Biblical Greek. He was a member of several social science academies, such as the French Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques.

  When mentioning about his quotes, he teaches me that God is fair. He or she gives us the things and abilities that we want. Everyone born to be special, powerful, useful. Thus, I learn that we should use them wisely and boost it to become more better. We should be grateful to him or her. The above comic is entertaining you, come and take a look at it....
