Joseph Ratzinger proved to be a man of exceptional intellectual gifts and by the time of the Second Vatican Council (1962 1965) he was already noted as one of the outstanding intellects present and was nominated a peritus or theological expert. This was also the time of the start of his friendship with the Swiss theologian Hans K ng who was to become his nemesis. Of his predecessor, Pope Francis has said: Pope Benedict was a great Pope, great for the penetration of his intelligence, great for his important contribution to theology, great for his love of the Church and human beings, great for his virtues and faith .

Even in this first volume, we begin to understand how this came to be true.
