View Rights Portal- Peter Seewald presents exclusive material from new research and interviews with Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI.- The interview books by Peter Seewald and Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI were international best-sellers When Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger was elected Pope in April 2005, it was the event of the century: a German on the Chair of St. Peter.
