Description: In this latest book, Benedict XVI addresses the controversies that surrounded his Papacy and reveals how at his late age, governing and reforming the Papacy and particularly the Vatican, was beyond him. Last Testament is also an auto-biography – Pope Benedict starts by recalling his childhood under Hitler and the Nazis and his early life as a priest and Archbishop of Munich. After becoming Pope, his account deals with the controversies that rocked the catholic world - how he enraged the Muslim world with his Regensburg speech, what he did and did not do to stamp out the clerical sexual abuse of children, the Vatileaks scandal and more. On a more personal level he writes with great warmth of his successor Pope Francis, who he admits has a popular touch, a star quality which he has lacked.
