About “The Ratzinger Report”

The Ratzinger Report is a 1985 book based on interviews given by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, later Pope Benedict XVI, to journalist Vittorio Messori. The book addresses the condition of the Catholic Church following the Second Vatican Council. Ratzinger critiques the "hermeneutic of rupture," a concept linked to a liberal interpretation of Vatican II. The work has been revisited in connection with Benedict XVI’s papacy to gain insight into his theological perspectives. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
