With the volumes of talks "Salt of the Earth" and "God and the World", Peter Seewald has not only made the Catholic world sit up and take notice. Never before had Cardinal Ratzinger, the then supreme guardian of the faith of the Catholic Church and now Pope, given such open and unvarnished analyses, never before had the key points of the faith been brought to the point in such a comprehensible way.
This new volume documents a conversation with Benedict XVI from the summer of 2010. Five years after his election as Pope, under the impression of the shocking abuse scandal and before the publication of the second volume of "Jesus of Nazareth", the Pope speaks about the Church in crisis, about ecumenism, about reforms, about society and about faith. Never before in the history of the Church has a Pope spoken and answered questions in this way. Never before has a Pope faced critical questions so courageously and so openly.
WITH THIS BOOK, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE TWO-THOUSAND-YEAR HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY, A POPE TAKES A STAND IN A PERSONAL INTERVIEW ON THE PRESSING PROBLEMS OF CHURCH AND SOCIETY.
