No. 71 - The Pope Benedict XVI visit and its impact on the social position of The Catholic Church in Germany

The words of Pope Benedict's said during the four-day stay in Germany will serve as a support to The Catholic Church's actions and interpretations of his teaching which are taking place in the reality of the Federal Republic of Germany. The continuation of Benedict's visit will be seen as work of the local Church, as well as an effort of those individuals and institutions to which Benedict have been spoken. The revival of religious life, giving new impetus to ecumenical dialogue and improvement of everyday relations in a multicultural society and state institutions will be determinant of long-term effects of the visit, which undoubtedly had a historical importance.
