from The Tangent on Veritas Catholic Network · host Veritas

If you have spent any time at all in a Catholic book store, or have studied theology, chances are, you have held a book from Ignatius Press in your hands. Today we're talking with the founder of Ignatius Press, Fr. Joseph Fessio, SJ. He'll tell us about his experience studing under Father Josef Ratzinger, becoming the sole English-language publisher of the theological works of Ratzinger, and his memories of the great theologian-turned-pope. We'll also talk about a new collaboration between Ignatius Press and Magnificat, a beautiful book looking back on the life, writings, teachings, and spirituality of Pope Benedict XVI, called "Benedict XVI: Servant of Love."
