IN THE VINE CARS OF THE LORS Joseph Ratzinger—who chose the name Benedict XVI after Europe’s patron saint from Norcia—served as John Paul II’s most trusted colleague, was the theological leader of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith for almost twenty- five years, and was the driving force behind the Catholic Church’s new Catechism. In this compelling volume, author Marco Bardazzi, who has closely followed current Catholicism through its latest ecclesiastical movements, reviews the life of Joseph Ratzinger—from his modest youth in Bavaria to his ordination in 1951; from his participation in the second Vatican Council in the sixties to his nomination for arch- bishop and then cardinal of Munich in 1977, to his past twenty-five years in the Roman Curia. “In the Vineyard of the Lord” is a quote from words spoken by Pope Benedict XVI from the balcony of Saint Peter’s Basilica upon being introduced as the new pontiff, this enlightening volume serves as a concise guide to understanding John Paul II’s suc- cessor, as well as the many and complex issues facing his pontificate and the Catholic Church today.
