VATICAN CITY (National Catholic Register) –Pope Benedict XVI turns 80 April 16, just three days before he completes the second year of his pontificate. Benedict’s quiet style is, of course, a striking contrast to Pope John Paul II. But it’s just right for the times, said Robert Royal, director of the Washington D.C.-based Faith and Reason Institute.
“After John Paul II, the great charismatic leader and the man who helped to beat communism and brought us into a new world, Benedict is exactly the right person for the kind of conversation that we need to help us understand ourselves in the future in the 21st century,” Royal said.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, POPE BENEDICT!
