The article today in the New York Times, “Doctrine Preoccupied Benedict as Archbishop” takes a very different tact than the previous hit jobs, and at least quotes various people who offer an apologetic for Cardinal Ratzinger when he was Archbishop of Munich.
The thrust of the article was that Benedict was not a man of the nuts and bolts details of running an archdiocese, but a university professor who preoccupied himself with the problems of heterodoxy. This latest piece by the Times deals more with the facts, and less with speculation.
