His papacy began a lot of things which were later accomplished by Popes Pius XI and Pius XII.In his own words:"Filled with sentiments of awe and thanksgiving, I wish to speak of why I chose the name Benedict. Firstly, I remember Pope Benedict XV, that courageous prophet of peace, who guided the Church through turbulent times of war. In his footsteps I place my ministry in the service of reconciliation and harmony between peoples. Additionally, I recall Saint Benedict of Nursia, co-patron of Europe, whose life evokes the Christian roots of Europe. I ask him to help us all to hold firm to the centrality of Christ in our Christian life: May Christ always take first place in our thoughts and actions!"In honor of Pope Benedict XV (Pope during World War I who always sought peace among nations) and also in honor of Saint Benedict, patron of Europe and the founder of Benedictine Monks, Cardinal Ratzinger chose the name Benedict.
