Eine sehr gut lesbare und informative Biographie über das Phänomen Kardinal Ratzinger, die einen Bogen von seinen liberalen Anfängen bis zu seinem Schaffen als Chef der römischen Glaubenskongregation spannt. John Allen, selbst Vertreter eines kritischen Katholizismus und als Vatikan-Korrespondent ein profunder Kenner der Person und des Wirkens von Joseph Ratzinger, überzeugt durch seine Objektivität - trotz des streitbaren und Kontroversen provozierenden Kardinals.

Liberation theology, birth control, women's ordination, inclusive language, "radical feminism". homosexuality, religious pluralism, human rights in the church, and the roles of bishops and theologians -- one man has stood at the dead center of all these controversial issues: Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. A teenage American POW as the Third Reich crumbled and a progressive wunderkind at the Second Vatican Council, Ratzinger, for twenty years, has been head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (until 1908 known as the Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition, or Holy Office).The book goes a long way toward explaining the central enigma surrounding Ratzinger: How did this erstwhile liberal end up as the chief architect of the third great wave of repression in Catholic theology in the twentieth century?Based on extensive interviews with Ratzinger's students and colleagues, as well as research in archives in both Bavaria and the United States, Allen's account showsthat Ratzinger's deep suspicion of "the world", his preoccupation with human sinfulness, and his demand for rock-solid loyalty to the church run deep. They reach into his childhood "in the shadow of the Nazis" and reflect his formative theological influences: Augustine, Bonaventure, and Martin Luther(!) rather than the world-affirming Thomas Aquinas.When the cardinals of the Catholic Church next gather in the Sistine Chapel to elect a pope, Allen argues, they will in effect be deciding whether to continue the policies Ratzinger has been the central force in shaping.
