Pope Benedict yanked Bishop Fitzgerald from the Fatima shrine and sent him to Egypt. (Fitzgerald was responsible for the Inter-Faith stuff at Fatima.) Also Benedict put the Franciscans of Assisi under control of the local Bishop of Assisi, to prevent more of the interfaith stuff there.

Those are examples that Pope Benedict may not be as ecumenical as JPII was. They're not examples that he is "more atuned to the global menace of terrorism."

My response was directed more to the pictures you posted. The Pope did retire Cardinal Sodano -- that's a start at least. We'll see what Benedict says when he goes to Turkey this November.

No, Benedict is quite devoted to creating unity with the Orthodox, SSPX, Lutherans, Anglicans, etc. But he recognizes that Islam is a danger.
