As John-Paul II's right hand man and most influential theological advisor, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger became known as 'God's Rottweiler'. Now, the world will know him as Pope Benedict XVI. But what will his pontificate be like? In this intimate documentary, he provides a first hand glimpse into life at the Vatican. It's a world that no ones knows better than him. Where the Pope is absolute ruler and the official language is still Latin. From the archives of the Inquisition to the catacombs and museums, he guides us around numerous locations inaccessible to the public. Many have never been filmed before. A fascinating insight into the world of the new Pope.
Ratzinger's religious conservatism provoked criticism and controversy but he says he had a brand to protect. ‘The Vatican administration is not substantially different to, or substantially more mysterious than, any other large political administration’. Ironically, he came to prominence as a moderniser, making Inquisition records available to researchers. ‘We can say today that the justice practised by the Inquisition was not worse but rather better than the worldly justice of the same time’, he comments.
