When reading Last Testament
the autobiography (written with Peter Seewald) of Pope Benedict XVI, I
was intrigued by the discrepancy between my image of Joseph Ratzinger as
prefect of the Congregation for the Defence of the Faith (CDF) and the
person revealed in these interviews.
I had imagined him as a tall, severe man, served by a richly resourced bureaucracy, and on top of all deviations from true faith and practice throughout the world. A man who played a persistent and methodical political hand in all aspects of church policy.
