News from the Vatican is that a book in interview form with Pope Benedict XVI will be published by the end of the year.
The work is the fruit of conversations between the Pope and journalist Peter Seewald.
The two spent a week together, from July 26 to 31 this year, and the interviews continue an acquaintance that started back when the Pope was still Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and when the journalist had interviewed him then.
The interviews, apparently on various themes, took place in German (as Seewald is a German journalist) and the book will be available in Italian and German, with other languages possibly following.
The book will be published by the Vatican’s publisher, Libreria Editrice Vaticana, as reported by Vatican communications officer Father Federico Lombardi.
