Summary:
"On February 28, 2013,
Benedict
XVI became the first
pope
in nearly six hundred years to resign. In doing so,
Joseph
Ratzinger
, the man who became
Benedict
, also relinquished a controversial religious career in which he was largely responsible for the Catholic Church'
s
prodigious troubles: his scorched-earth
assault
on modernity and the world of ideas destroyed any hope of progress in the Church while leaving a trail of shattered lives in its wake. In this persuasive new book, Daniel Gawthrop argues that
Ratzinger
must not be allowed diplomatic immunity from the abuse scandals that have rocked the
Vatican
. Gawthrop not only accuses
Ratzinger
of quitting to avoid potential prosecution, but also indicts him for promoting a toxic theology whose destructive impact can be felt far beyond the Church. In doing so, the book examines
Ratzinger
's career in all its infamy, from his medieval understanding of women and demonization of homosexuality to his war on liberation theology. It also offers insight into
Ratzinger
's successor,
Pope
Francis I, and provocative ideas on how the Church can transform itself, thereby restoring the faith of its followers. During his eight years as
pope
,
Ratzinger
attempted to rebrand himself from God'
s
Rottweiler to Prince of Peace. The
Trial
of
Pope
Benedict
reveals the true
Ratzinger
, in the process telling one of recent history's most astonishing tales of institutional power, religious bullying, and systemic abuse."--Publisher.
