The coffin of the late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI was sealed in a ritual in St. Peter’s Basilica on Wednesday evening, after around 200,000 pilgrims had finished paying their respects to the German-born Pope.
He spent his childhood and adolescent years in Traunstein, a small town near the Austrian border, about thirty kilometres from Salzburg, it was in this context where he received his Christian, human and cultural education. In 1962 he became an official expert of Vatican Council II, as an assistant to Cardinal Joseph Frings.

He presented himself from the Loggia of Blessings as a “humble labourer in the vineyard of the Lord”. On Sunday, 24 April 2005 he solemnly began his Petrine ministry.
On the morning of 11 February 2013, during a Consistory convoked for ordinary decisions regarding three canonizations, after the vote of the Cardinals, the Pope read the following declaration in Latin: “Bene conscius sum hoc munus secundum suam essentiam spiritualem non solum agendo et loquendo exerceri debere, sed non minus patiendo et orando.
Benedict XVI’s doctrinal magisterium is summarized in the three Encyclicals Deus Caritas Est , Spe Salvi and Caritas in Veritate . He offered to the Church four Apostolic Exhortations, numerous Apostolic Constitutions and Apostolic Letters, as well as the Catecheses offered at the General Audiences and the allocutions, including those delivered during his twenty-four Apostolic Journeys around the world.
