Ratzinger's Faith

Ratzinger's Faith reviewed by MSW.  MGB:  The main problem for Ratzinger was that he was tapped to be John Paul II's doctrinal enforcer.  Whatever you say about Benedict, JPII was a counter-revolutionary on many of the issues which faced the Church during his papacy.  The longer Benedict reigns, the more he can undo.  I wonder whether this book, or any, delves into the currency in which the prophesies of St. Malachy are held by Benedict and those around him, and to what extent he is trying to self-consciously fulfill them (if at all).  His name certainly fits, as does his rapprochement with Constantinople.  If he has time to take this far enough, the change will be massive.
