I suppose the "National Catholic Reporter" can't be trusted, but here's what one of it's reporters, Father Raymond A. Schroth, professor of humanities at St. Peter’s College and NCR ’s media critic, said in 2006 about a generally favorable book written about Ratzinger...
"Benedict dines alone. His favorite beverage is Fanta, the orange-flavored soda pop. He does not love cats, he adores them. With bright red shoes from Prada and sunglasses from Serengeti, he has undergone a fashion makeover guided by his handsome Bavarian secretary, Msgr. Georg Ganswein.
Georg Ganswein, the "handsome Bavarian secretary" is another story altogether.
But if experience has shown us anything, it is that Roman Catholic apologists can and will deny the simple truth that is staring them right in the face.
So go ahead and tell us how compromised this priest/reporter is and how NCR is a socialist rag and how all the hundreds of news reports that stated Ratzinger wore Prada shoes were dastardly plots against this humble man who would dress up in jeans and a wife-beater if only his job didn't call for all that pomp and opulence.
