In this way, Radical Optimism might have found an insightful interpreter in Pope Benedict. The pontiff went to be with the Lord in 2022, but he left us with Deus Caritas Est, or God is Love, his finest encyclical. Re-reading the pope while enjoying Radical Optimism offers a revelation: Pope Benedict gets what motivates Dua Lipa. Her critics do not.
