About the Program:

After a quarter century of extraordinary guidance from Pope John Paul II, the Roman Catholic Church has a new leader: Pope Benedict XVI, formerly Joseph Ratzinger of Germany. Why did the College of Cardinals come to this selection and how will Benedict XVI be able to fill the shoes of his dynamic predecessor? As president of one of the most prominent Catholic Universities in the country, Father Stephen Privett will offer his insight into the new pope and how the Catholic Church will embrace its new spiritual leader.
