In light of this fine commentary on Ratzinger's book, I thought I 
should post a historical tidbit I found recently.  Xavier Rynne (a
pseudonym) in his four volume work on Vatican II, clearly identifies
(then) Monsignor Ratizinger as being squarely in the liberal/pro-
gressive camp.

I found this very interesting in light of his reputation as the 
Pope's conservative theological watchdog.  My question is this:  has
his theology grown more conservative as the years passed, or did the
definition of "liberal" move and leave him in a lurch?

Yours in Christ,
