Retired Pope Benedict Speaks - Extensive Letter With Italian Atheist Published

We live in interesting times where we have both a Pope and a retired Pope still alive. Pope Benedict voice hit the papers today in the Italian daily La Repubblica. John Allen has the story here.

This letter was published with both retired Pope Benedict and Pope Francis 's permission.

Hopefully the major  meme will not be only  the comments on sex abuse but the other issues Benedict and Piergiorgio Odifreddi are in dialogue in.

When the English translation comes out I will post it.
