Joseph Ratzinger was an academic. Even though he was ordained a priest at the age of 26, he never served in parish ministry.

He was a student and then a professor of theology (1946-1977).

His first job was teaching at the Higher School of Philosophy and Theology of Freising and at the University of Munich.

He was briefly a diocesan bishop (1977-1982).

Then he became Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (1982-2005).

His current job is bishop of Rome.
