Abstract
- The article looks at the papacies of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI on the occasion of Benedict's 2013 decision to resign from office. The author notes that both were scholars, distinguishing them from the earlier 20th-century popes. He describes both as making fundamental contributions to the project of reconciling Catholic Church teachings with modernity and faith with reason. Topics include the Second Vatican Council and the scandals over child sexual abuse by priests.
