The first is Collected Works: Theology of the Liturgy by Joseph Ratzinger. Nearly two years removed from listening to him daily as pope, it is likely more clear now how extraordinary a scholarly and rhetorical gift Benedict XVI was to the Church. I remember that soon after his election 10 years ago next spring, one cardinal remarking that if all that was achieved in his pontificate was that more people would read his writings it would be a triumph. Indeed, not long after his election, publishing a collection of his voluminous works was proposed and Benedict agreed, asking that they be published under the name Joseph Ratzinger.
