Ratzinger, says Beinert, who remains close to his former mentor, had been "very open, fundamentally ready to let in new things.

At the comfortable Weisser Hase a double room with breakfast is $43. Seventy miles up the Danube is Regensburg, Bavaria's first capital, where parts of the Roman wall still stand.
