Historian Cardinal

Among the new cardinals announced by Pope Benedict XVI for the November 24 consistory is a priest who is over 80 (and therefore not entitled to vote in a papal election), Monsignor Walter Brandmüller, former president of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences. This cannot be seen as anything other than a papal approval for Mons. Brandmuller's historical work. I have read his book "Lights and Shadows: Church History among faith, facts and legend", and can highly recommend it.

Perused some of the material in the book, sounds very interesting indeed. Have placed my order.
You won't be disappointed!
