Benedict XVI Sees Continuity With Francis, "A Man Of Profound Theological Formation"
The former Benedict XVI has written a letter to Monsignor Dario Edoardo Viganò concerning a series of 11 books entitled “Theology of Pope Francis”. The letter was presented on March 12, writes vaticannews.va.
Benedict XVI calls Francis in the letter “a man of profound theological and philosophical formation” criticising the “foolish prejudice" of those who consider Francis as someone "who lacks a particular theological and philosophical formation", while he, Benedict, would have been "solely a theorist of theology with little understanding of the concrete lives of today’s Christians".
According to Benedict XVI there is an “interior continuity between the two pontificates" albeit the "differences in style and temperament”.
