An unpublished letter by Pope Benedict XVI, written little more than a year before his death, has been released in a new Italian book, offering an insight into the late pontiff’s theology and view of the future of the Faith at the end of his life.
The text appears in La fede del futuro, the fourth instalment in a collection of previously unpublished and hard-to-find writings by Joseph Ratzinger, issued by the Siena-based publishing house Edizioni Cantagalli. The series is introduced by a preface from the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin.
