I can’t read a word of it, but Avvenire, the newspaper of the Italian bishops’ conference apparently runs several strong articles today.

This comment at JihadWatch offers a summary of some of the pieces.

Look to the Papa Ratzinger Forum, especially the "News About Benedict" thread for more links to other articles from the European press today, and, I wouldn’t be surprised, more details about what this issue of Avvenire says.

Also keep an eye on AsiaNews – the news service of the PIME order, with a specialization in Asia and the Middle East.
