Newly elected Pope Benedict XVI joins Pera, the president of the Italian senate, to offer a provocative critique of the spiritual, cultural, and political crisis that has afflicted the West.
Bringing together their unique vantage points as leaders of Church and State, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and Marcello Pera challenge us to imagine what can be the future of a civilization that has abandoned its moral and cultural history. They call on the West to embrace a spiritual rather than political renewal -and to accept the moral values that alone can help us to make sense of changes in technology, economics, and society.
