I l\u00f8pet av sitt bes\u00f8k i Tyrkia har flere mennesker kommentert at pave Benedikt n\u00e5 har klart \u00e5 kommunisere p\u00e5 en m\u00e5te som er bedre tilpasset et moderne samfunn og dets media.<\/p>\n
Det begynte med hans (og Vatikanets) understreking av at de \u00f8nsket Tyrkia velkommen inn i EU, hvis de oppfylte de betingelsene som er satt opp, spesielt om trosfrihet. Dette skapte en mye bedre atmosf\u00e6re under hele bes\u00f8ket, siden kardinal Ratzinger for to \u00e5r siden uttalte seg noks\u00e5 negativt om Tyrkias s\u00f8knad.<\/p>\n
En interessant ting (som bildet viser) var hans bes\u00f8k i Den bl\u00e5 moskeen, der paven s\u00e5 ut til \u00e5 be ‘sammen’ med de muslimske religi\u00f8se lederne. John Allen skriver om dette:<\/p>\n
One could, of course, interpret that moment of prayer in the Blue Mosque in different ways. Where some saw a towering image of respect and mutual reverence before the divine, others might perceive an act of Christian colonialism \u2013 a way of \u201cplanting the Cross,\u201d so to speak, in a Muslim space. Still others might fret about religious relativism or syncretism, an unacceptable blurring of the boundaries between different faith traditions. …. …<\/p>\n During his visit to the mosque, Benedict was not tight-lipped or awkward; instead, he appeared animated, pleased to be there, and respectful to his hosts throughout. The day before, he had playfully held aloft a Turkish flag, communicating as much in an instant about his respect for Turks as in numerous public utterances. He also celebrated Mass for a tiny flock in Ephesus, disabusing stereotypes of papal majesty and power without uttering a word of theological argument on the subject. On that day, Benedict looked and sounded every bit a pastor, in effect providing a symbolic statement about the roots of the Petrine ministry.<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n Allen skriver p\u00e5 samme m\u00e5ten om m\u00f8tet med den ortodokse kirkes patriark Bartolomeus I: In that sense, the legacy of the Turkey trip may well be more than putting the relationship with Islam on a more positive footing, or marking another milestone along the path to reconciliation between the Christian East and West.<\/p>\n It may also mark the moment when this wordsmith pope learned to talk in pictures.<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I l\u00f8pet av sitt bes\u00f8k i Tyrkia har flere mennesker kommentert at pave Benedikt n\u00e5 har klart \u00e5 kommunisere p\u00e5 en m\u00e5te som er bedre tilpasset et moderne samfunn og dets media.

\nYesterday, the shot of Benedict and Patriarch Bartholomew I holding hands aloft from the balcony of the Phanar, or embracing one another after signing their Common Declaration, probably said more about the progress of the ecumenical movement than either man\u2019s written statements.<\/p>\n
