Joseph
Cardinal Ratzinger was a professor for Roman Catholic theology in Freising, Bonn, Münster, Tübingen and Regensburg. As a high dignitary of the Roman Catholic
church he lets the bent reader participate in his inside driving powers to which he owes his work in the service of the church. His infancy was stamped by brown secucers and distinct hardships. He describes these experiences self-critical and unvainly. Besides, he also does not hide individual hard hauls. As a person who should never been
particularly ambitiously he has done undoubtedly
religious career. Whether as a lecturer, professor or cardinal, ha was always the youngest in these positions. Only with his regulation to the acting representative Christi he was suddenly the oldest on the chair Petri, anyhow, since 250 years. With the gift of the sensitive and at the same moment reserved telling he describes the mental discussions with road companions from his religious life. In each of these debates around a theological new meditation he was and has always remained in the truth and in the thing oriented and has become hurtful not individually. With the administration of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome, the central authority for the interpretation and the defence of the religious apprenticeship, the brilliant theologian rapidly belonged to the recognized personalities in Vatican. Among other things under his leadership the new world catechism appeared. In this function he explained in a lot of questions and areas of the
belief apprenticeship and moral philosophy what an apprenticeship of the church is and where its borders are. Particularly from Germany he harvested for some Vatican announcement individual hostility. To the scapegoat chosen, one unloaded all unpleasant on him. In this time
appeared the designations hurrying on ahead of him of the “armoured cardinal” and the “Grand Inquisitor”. If one is busy little bit nearer with the highest teacher of the belief, one finds none of the known prejudices confirms.
