Cardinal Ratzinger, since 1981 the Vatican’s doctrinal watchman, has never granted a broadcast interview in English–until now. From his private offices in Rome, this “second most powerful man in the Vatican” talks with EWTN’s Raymond Arroyo on a number of critical issues facing the Church today, including the U.S. clergy crisis, and problems with the Bishop’s conferences. Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, was for over two decades The Prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith under Pope John Paul II. He is the author of Spirit of the Liturgy, Salt of the Earth, Introduction to Christianity, God and the World, Milestones, Called to Communion, God Is Near Us, and many other works published by Ignatius Press.
