'...deserve(s) to be read with care by anyone who is concerned about the way the Church may go under the new Pope.'--Sanford Lakoff The American Spectator Hemming shows that Benedict s thought has had an important contribution to the theology and teachings of the Catholic Church, especially when he collaborated with Pope John Paul II. Benedict is a bright light that cannot be put under a bushel basket, and Hemming s book is a good introduction to Pope Benedict s life and thought. That it was written by a non-American provides a different cultural view to Pope Benedict XVI. The book is intended for the general reading public. curledup.com--curledup.com His account of Joseph Ratzinger's personality and thought, however, is a model of fairness and balance. In Benedict XVI: Fellow Worker for the Truth , he points out, correctly, that with regard to Vatican II Ratzinger is not the conservative people like Rose take him to be, but a radical. Benedict XVI views the council as a return to the church's roots in Scripture and tradition in its 2,000-year fullness. - John Jay Hughes, America, February 6, 2006--Sanford Lakoff
