  CARDINAL JOSEPH RATZINGER
  SALT OF THE EARTH: The Church at the End of the Millennium
  An Interview with Peter Seewald

  Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, well-known Vatican prelate and head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the
  Faith, gives a full-length interview to a secular journalist on a host of controversial and difficult issues
  facing Catholicism and Christianity at the end of the Millennium. He responds with candor and insight,
  giving answers that are often surprising and always thought-provoking on a series of wide-ranging topics
  regarding the present and future state of Christianity.

  Ratzinger begins by discussing his own life, including his family life, seminary studies, being a theology
  professor and writer, becoming a Bishop, Cardinal, and the Pope’s top authority on doctrine as head of the
  CDF. He then discusses the problems of the Catholic Church today, answering tough questions about the
  Church’s position on divorce, celibacy, contraception, abortion, women’s ordination, ecumenism, etc., and
  talks about the challenges and hopes of the future of the Church and the world at the beginning of the Third
  Millennium.

  This is a rare and powerful in-depth interview of a renowned theologian and high ranking Vatican official on
  issues of critical importance for the Church and Christianity at the end of an age.
