Disputed truth

the long version

It is not well known that as a young man Kung was a close friend and confidant of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI). Increasingly, however, they came to represent exactly what the other most despised. But on being appointed to the Holy See, Ratzinger had a long private meeting with Kung, the consequences of which may still last. In these memoirs Kung gives his personal account of all these struggles and ambitions. The result is a book of major importance for students of the Church in the 20th Century. This second volume covers the period following the close of the Second Vatican Council up to the present day.
