Summary
Joseph Ratzinger: Salt of the Earth
Committed Christians recoiled from the immobility of the church "apparatus" and thousands of people in recent years turned their backs on the church, whose attempt to adapt to the modern world failed to convince many people. How does this institution, almost two thousand years old, react to one of the biggest crises in its history? To these and many other questions, Benedict XVI often finds surprising answers, about which one can think a lot.
Among other things, in this interview with the journalist Peter Seewald, who himself resigned from the Church two decades ago, the most influential German church representative, then still a Cardinal, Joseph Ratzinger, declares about fundamental questions about the future of the Church, about the dogma of infallibility and about celibacy, about preventing conception and the remarriage of divorced persons, about the papacy and about ecumenism, but also about the church tax and the Western economic system.
