"Today [May 2005] the 78-year-old pontiff presides over the much vaster empire of the 1.1 billion-strong Roman Catholic church--over its dogma and doctrine, charisma and communications, rituals and real estate, seminarians and aspiring saints. The way he leads it will have an impact on issues central to the future of humanity, from the challenge of radical Islam to the scourge of AIDS, the shape of the European Union and, not least, the ferociously divisive politics of red and blue." (NEWSWEEK) The tasks and challenges facing newly elected Pope Benedict XVI are examined in this article.
