Messori asks Pope for
a 'Ratzinger Report-II' and...

Translated from


Dec. 28, 2009



My day to work today in the Foglio newsroom. I wrote an article for the Tuesday paper on the Belgian theologian Edward Schillebeeckx who died this weekend, and to do so, I spent some minutes on the phone with Vittorio Messori who gifted me with a disclosure that I will write about for the paper.

"I'm doing this as a gift to you," he said. "It's Christmas and we all need to do a good deed", as we spoke about his 1984 interview book Rapporto sulla Fede (The Ratzinger Report, in English) with Cardinal Ratzinger.

Here is part of our dialog:

PR: Have you ever thought of updating the book?

VM: I've thought about it. And I even told the Pope.

PR: When?

VM: Recently. I sent him a copy of my latest book Perche credo (Why I believe), and Mons. Gaenswein called me to express the Pope's thanks. I took advantage to tell him I would love to meet with the Pope - I must say that, out of discretion, I have never asked to do this since he became Pope. Don Georg said the simplest way to do that was to come to a Wednesday audience.

So I did that. With Andrea Tornielli, who wrote the book with me [Tornielli was the interviewer), we were given seats near where the Pope would give his catechesis in St. Peter's Square. When the Pope drove up in the Popemobile, he saw me and he greeted me by raising his arm. Later, when he came to our sector, he approached me and we chatted a while.

I reminded him that it has been 25 years since Rapporto was published.

"Hard to believe!", he exclaimed.

"True!... Isn't it time for a Rapporto II? If you give me three days, we can do as we did in Bressanone in 1984 and the book will be done."

"Three days? But, Dottore, I don't even have three hours! However, I promise you I will think about it."

Then he moved on, but after taking a few steps, he turned back and said, "I don't even have three hours!"
