Prior to being elected Pope, Pope Benedict XVI
spent 24 years as the head of the most important office in
the Church — the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF).
As such, his teachings on the most pressing issues facing the Church
today have been readily available. Below is a collection of
articles and documents to aid those who want to read more of our new Holy Father's works.
