Comment
Pope Benedict XVIThe image has gone around the world: deeply moved by his election as head of the Catholic Church, German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger pronounced his first "Urbi et Orbi" blessing as Pope Benedict XVI on the evening of April 19, 2005. At the age of 78, he declared himself "a simple and humble worker in the Lord's vineyard", and emphasized his commitment to open dialogue with other faiths and religions around the world.
