EWTN Bookmark - Joseph Pearce, Benedict XVI: Defender of the Faith; Literature: What Every Catholic

This biography of Pope Benedict XVI is, in Joseph Pearce’s own words, “the one go-to book on the life and legacy of Joseph Ratzinger, from his childhood through young manhood, to his appointment as Cardinal under John Paul II, to his accomplishments as pontiff. If you can read only one book on Benedict XVI, let it be this one. In Literature: What Every Catholic Should Know, a broad survey of the finest works of the Western world, from Homer and Virgil to Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, is beautifully engaging.
