“Pope Benedict XVI on Pope St Paul VI: Let us pay homage to the spirit of evangelical wisdom with which my beloved predecessor was able to guide the Church during and after the Second Vatican Council. With prophetic intuition he perceived the hopes and anxieties or the people at that time; he strove to make the most of the positive experiences, seeking to illuminate them with the light of truth and the love of Christ.” PopeBenedict XviPaul ViCatholic Vatican 2 Book:Saint Pope Paul VI: Celebrating the 262nd Pope of the Roman Catholic Church Source: Saint Pope Paul VI: Celebrating the 262nd Pope of the Roman Catholic Church
