Pope sets great example of love to the world

His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI has praiseworthily said sorry to Muslims whose feelings have been offended by some quoted observations in his recent speech on Mohammad and his teachings. True religions and great cultures, East and West, teach their adherents to be morally able and ready to say sorry to even people in the "out-groups".

Seen in this light, the Holy Father has courageously demonstrated by personal example the maturity and greatness of the universal messages of Faith, Hope and Love of Yesus Kristus.
