| Description | WARSAW, Poland Apr 29, 2005 — Pope Benedict XVI made a tiny slip in Polish when he thanked Poles "with" their kindness instead of "for." No matter: the German pontiff found understanding in the homeland of John Paul II, and many hope that may offer some balm for German-Polish relations.
Poles have embraced Bavarian-born Benedict with noticeably more warmth than his fellow Germans, urging him to visit and commenting favorably on his devotion to John Paul during his years as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the Vatican's guardian of doctrinal orthodoxy.
"The new pope is aware of the Poles' strong attachment to John Paul II and from the very start has referred to him with warmth and emotion this wins their hearts," Warsaw University sociologist Ireneusz Krzeminski said Friday.
