Francis has started to read the Bible as if it were an early draft of Das Kapital. I fear his approach will be the lasting change.

From the article: "His theological work bore fruit in two key documents, the Pontifical Biblical Commission’s The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church (1993) and the fruit of the first synod he summoned as pope, Verbum Domini (2010). Yet it was his decision to publish, while pope, a three-volume study of the life of Christ (Jesus of Nazareth) that will have the greatest impact. Instead of proposing how biblical study ought to be done, Ratzinger-Benedict got on with it and did the job himself, confirming in the masterful trilogy that he was probably the most learned man alive." I have learned much from Ratzinger, and I still ask God to bless him in my prayers. Thank you for posting.

At ninety, Benedict has lived long enough to see crises erupt, crises engaged, and now the beginning of crises resolved.

1) That is good to know. Concluding paragraph.

2) Was there anything about God or Jesus in the article? There is no meat, no edification.

3) So what is the purpose of the article?
