20th Anniversary of the Election of Pope Benedict XVI. "Like St. Peter"

20 years ago Joseph Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI. However, the euphoria that the German Pontiff triggered at that time did not last long.

There was great joy in the crowded St. Peter's Square when, on April 19, 2005, at 6:40 p.m., the announcement was made from the main loggia of St. Peter's Basilica: "Habemus Papam" - we have a pope - "Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger."

During his last general audience on February 27, 2013, Pope Benedict XVI revealed what thoughts and questions were born in his head when he decided to take the helm of the Catholic Church.
