The Orthodox have held onto some of the central beliefs and promulgated them better than we (the RCC.) Which central beliefs has the EO promulgated better than the RCC? (And does Ratzinger know about this?)
Would it be the central belief in original sin, which the EO denies?
Would it be the central belief in hell, which the EO denies?

The Orthodox have much better held onto the order of the Mass; the orientation of the priest and the demeanour of the celebration of Mass; we Latins have made it more casual, bringing more laity into what should be the desmaine of the ordained, for example.
And yes, Pope Benedict XVI knows about all this; it is one of the reasons for returning to the Tridentine Mass, Eckleburg.
Our beliefs in original sin and hell are aligned.
