MEETINGS WITH THE POPE: A NEW BOOK
I did find another interesting item in the German page of the Vatican Radio site - I really should remember to visit Vatican Radio's German and Italian sites daily:


Turkish Religious Affairs Minister Ali Bardakoglu has praised Pope Benedict XVI's commitment to peace and moral values.

Bardakoglu is one of 45 personalities who contributed to a book edited by German journalist Matthias Kopp (on the occasion of teh Pope's 80th birthday), to describe their personal encounters with the Pope. [What a great idea!]

In his essay, Bardakoglu thanks the pope for his visit to Turkey, during which he made clear the common responsibility of religions for world peace and justice.

Kopp handed a copy of the book, "Und ploetzlich Papst" (Suddenly Pope), to Pope Benedict after the general audience last Wednesday.
