Salt of the Earth

Audio excerpts taken from a full-length interview of Pope Benedict XVI by a secular journalist on a host of controversial and difficult issues facing Catholicism and Christianity at the end of the millennium. Cardinal Ratzinger responds with candor and insight giving answers that are often surprising and always thought-provoking on a series of wide-ranging topics. The future Pope discusses his own personal life; probes problems in the Catholic Church today; and talks about the challenges and hopes of the future of Church and the world at the beginning of the Third Millennium. Listening to this CD is a wonderful way to get to know the man who would soon be elected the 264th successor of St. Peter.

Speaker: Cardinal Ratzinger
