A probing look at the life and thought of Joseph Ratzinger: his childhood, family and hobbies, priestly vocation and theological activity, involvement in the Second Vatican Council, and work as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Addresses frankly and calmly the most pressing issues (liberation theology, bioethics, priestly celibacy, dissent…) as well as the situation of the Church in various countries and its relations with other religions. Confronts painful questions with great openness and honesty.
