| Popis: | Pope Benedict XVI has had unexpected success as a religious diplomat, advocating for peace between Christians and Muslims. Despite offending the Muslim community in a speech given during his first year as Pope, he has since taken great steps towardsreconciliation. At a public appearance in Turkey in 2007, Pope Benedict and Muslims leaders emphasized the commonalities between their religions in order to promote a peaceful relationship. While many had low hopes for the Pope's diplomatic abilities, he has, by forming relationships with Muslim leaders, in fact, advanced understanding between the two faiths. |
