Pope Benedict XVI arrives at the St. George Church in Istanbul, Turkey on Wednesday Nov 29 2006 with Ecumenical Orthodox patriarch Bartholemew I. The two major branches of Christianity represented by Bartholomew and Benedict split in 1054 over differences in opinion on the power of the papacy, and the two spiritual heads will meet in an attempt to breach the divide.

This picture struck me, as it reminds me more of a rock star's entrance to a packed arena or a fighter entering the ring in Las Vegas than the leader of the Catholic Church entering a cathedral.
