"Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI has laid out both the problem and a theological solution: the problem is prodigal fatherhood, i.e., fatherlessness, in various forms, and the solution is God the Father as our model for fatherhood—“the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named” (Eph. 3:14-15). "

Yeah, a bunch of spiritual sounding nonsense that lets people feel good about "doing something", while ignoring the very tangible legal problems that promote single motherhood.

Have you read any of Ratzinger’s works or his books that he wrote as Pope Benedict?

They are deep — he doesn’t write puff pieces.

aposiopetic is correct here.

Please look a little deeper (for the spiritual) as you re-read the piece.
