Pope Benedict XVI

by Jonathan from Mexico

Pope Benedict XVI Is the 265th and reigning Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, and as such, sovereign of the Vatican City State. He was elected on April 19, 2005, and took possession of his cathedral, Basilica of St. John Lateran, on May 7, 2005. Pope Benedict XVI has both German and Vatican citizenship. He succeeded Pope John Paul II, who died on April 2, 2005. One of the best-know theologians since the 1960s and a prolific author, Benedict XVI is viewed as a defender of traditional Catholic doctrine and values and of their importance in the survival of western civilization.

I think other persons will consider him a hero because, he is an old man and that is not a problem for him to be at one to another. He went to all places he has to go. I think he is a good example to all the people in the world. He does his job even at his age, and he gives all in his job. He is a person with a really good heart. I think that he is a hero for me, and I do not say that to anyone. He day by day gives all to other people, he does not say with the conscience when he has the opportunity to help, he always has the conscience in white, because he always helps. I think I consider him a hero, a memorable hero.

He changed my life in a good way. Thanks to him I am a person that gives all, even when it looks as if it lost. I am a person with more responsibility, a person that not only looks and cares for himself, that in every body. Thanks to him I am a person that day by day I fight for whatever I want and never take a break until I get my goal. He is a person that has the value to confront the problem and it doesn't matter how big is it the problem or situation. He is special to me all that he does is the problem or situation. He is special that he does is for the benefit of other people. He thinks about others before thinking about him and I am a better person day by day and I do all that.
