Andrea Riccardi, founder of the Communita' di San Egidio, a leading Catholic diplomatic and inter-faith group, called Benedict "one of the keenest observers of modern religious life," whose expertise extends beyond his own Church. "John Paul had a specific geopolitical design from the start of his papacy: the fall of communism. Benedict has more of a 'geo-cultural' design, wanting to challenge contemporary society. Foremost, he wants to provoke a crisis of conscience...
