Pope Francis met on Monday with Archbishop Georg Gänswein, the longtime secretary of Pope Benedict XVI who has raised eyebrows with an extraordinary memoir.

This week on “Inside the Vatican,” Ricardo da Silva, S.J., and Gerard O’Connell discuss the criticism that Pope Francis’ homily did not sufficiently eulogize and recognize the legacy of the former pope—and more.

According to the book, the pope emeritus ordered the destruction of all his private notes in writing, “without exceptions and without loopholes.”

Pope Benedict XVI was a renowned theologian, a “recognized authority,” who left “a rich legacy of studies and research on the fundamental truths of the faith,” said the official summary of his life and papacy.
