 | | Pope Benedict XVI made the first appearance of his papacy at the third-floor window of his apartment on Sunday, telling the tens of thousands in the square below that he was keeping up the cherished tradition of his beloved predecessor, John Paul II. |
 | | In the 15-minute appearance, Benedict, wearing a white cassock, issued a call for continued efforts to bridge the gap between Catholics and Orthodox. |
 | | Benedict did add a few lines that weren't in his prepared text, including joking that he, too, is named Joseph, in a reference to St. Joseph, the church's patron saint of workers. |
