(OSV News) — Some two dozen works of the late Pope Benedict XVI’s pre-papal writings will be made available in English, many for the first time, in a new translation project led by the academic division of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries.
Libreria Editrice Vaticana, the Vatican’s publishing house, has granted Word on Fire the exclusive English-language rights to translate and publish the collected works of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, which were written in the late pope’s native German.
Word on Fire announced the news in an Oct. 24 press release, with the nonprofit’s founder, Bishop Robert E. Barron of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, describing the value of the works as “inestimable.”
“They will serve future generations as a great repository not only of theological and spiritual wisdom, but of the history of a particular moment in the life of the Church,” said Bishop Barron in the statement.
