Pope Benedict XVI promised he would remain silent and pray when he resigned in 2013. But Joseph Ratzinger didn't keep his promise. He repeatedly spoke out. Most recently, he defended celibacy in Cardinal Robert Sarah's book "From the Depths of the Heart." Just a few weeks before his successor, Pope Francis, responded to the Amazon Synod's list of demands. Francis did not risk a break with his predecessor. Pope Francis also appears hesitant on the issue of women: Neither the ordination of female priests nor the office of deacons seem within reach. The pressure all around is too great, says Marco Politi. Why this reluctance on the part of the Pope? How great is the real power of his opponents? And what remains of his promise of a Church in need of reform? Olivia Röllin in conversation with Marco Politi, one of the best-known Vatican experts and author of the book "The Francis Plot: The Lonely Pope and His Fight for the Church."
