Ratzinger's Faith: The Theology of Pope Benedict XVI : OUP 2008

This one is particularly for you Confiteor but I recommend it to everyone. A good review is to be found at:

A quote from the review:

"The most serious concern of this book is to place Ratzinger as a thinker and doer who has managed to confront almost every major theological issue and to keep in clear focus how the central teachings of the Church are to be understood and presented as the most brillIant explanation of man in the cosmos.................
What we have in Benedict,......is a kind of quiet intellectual energy that has long penetrated to the core of the most important of theological and philosophical controversies." (James V Schall S.J.)

EARLIER TODAY CONFITEOR ASKED FOR GUIDANCE IN INTERPRETING POPE BENEDICT'S LATEST ACTION IN INVITING A RABBI TO SPEAK AT THE IMMINENT SYNOD. I RESPONDED WITH A COMMENT ON 'WHY PAPA?' AND CONFITEOR HAS RECOMMENDED THAT I POST MY ANSWER HERE. I'LL DO SO TOMORROW.

In Christo pro Papa,

Jane
