VATICAN OBIT POPE BENEDICT XVI A LIFE
FILE - Pope Benedict XVI opens his arms during his final general audience in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican, on Feb. 27, 2013, before retiring. He was the reluctant pope, a shy bookworm who preferred solitary walks in the Alps and Mozart piano concertos to the public glare and majesty of Vatican pageantry. When Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI and was thrust into the footsteps of his beloved and charismatic predecessor, he said he felt a guillotine had come down on him. The Vatican announced Saturday Dec. 31, 2022 that Benedict, the former Joseph Ratzinger, had died at age 95. (AP Photo/Gregorio Borgia, File)
