Audio excerpts from an interview with Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) by a secular journalist on a host of controversial and difficult issues facing the Catholic Church. He responds with candor and insight, always giving answers that are thought provoking and sometimes surprising. Learning about his personal life is a great way to get to know the man who has become our Pope.
Charity in Truth
Charity in Truth is Benedict's encyclical on "social justice". Rather than starting with "justice" and "rights" or with the various social issues, the Pope first lays a solid foundation for understanding by exploring the crucial ideas of "charity" and "truth". "Charity is at the heart of the Church's social doctrine", he writes. "Without truth, without trust and love for what is true, there is no social conscience and responsibility, and social action ends up serving private interests and the logic of power."
This CD answered the question, 'What is Truth?' very well for me, given how charity is often undervalued and misunderstood. It provided an insightful 'single teaching and ever-new' explanation of charity. Charlie - Belews Creek, NC
This is a welcome reminder that the authentic love we are called to imitate in Christ is so all encompassing that it actually becomes our lifelong vocation. Judith - Boston, MA
Light of the World
Categories:
Taken from a week-long series of interviews with journalist Peter Seewald, this CD tackles head-on some of the greatest issues facing the world. What caused the clergy sexual abuse in the Church? Should the Church rethink her teaching on priestly celibacy, women priests, and contraception? Is Christianity the only truth? Never has a Pope dealt so directly with such wide-ranging and controversial issues as Benedict XVI does here.
“The papacy has a unique vantage point on the human race in the first decades of the twenty-first century... for such a witness, Christians, and indeed all men and women of good will, can only be grateful.” George Weigel - Washington, DC
