New pope reaches out to Jews at Vatican inaugural Mass.
By News Agencies and Haaretz Service
"As part of his address to non-Christians, the pope stressed that "with great affection I also greet ... my brothers and sisters of the Jewish people, to whom we are joined by a great shared spiritual heritage, one rooted in God's irrevocable promises."
"Growing into new role.
The shy Pope, who as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was John Paul's top doctrinal overseer, has been slowly growing more comfortable in his new role since being elected in a secret conclave last Tuesday."
"As the Vatican's doctrinal watchdog, Ratzinger upset Protestants, Buddhists and Hindus with sharp criticisms of their faiths. But his first address as Pope stressed the need for inter-faith dialogue."
