Benedict XVI Surprises Mark His First Papal Year
Pope Benedict XVI has pursued a mix of pastoral outreach and strategic moves since his April 19 election. He named Cardinal Joseph Zen, met liberal and conservative critics, merged the Islam office with the culture office, and promoted Cardinal William Levada while facing debate over the gay priest document and Europe’s Christian focus. He reached out to Muslims, condemned terrorism, and weighs Turkey EU bid amid tensions.
