VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict will use his trip to predominantly Muslim Turkey later this year to promote greater dialogue between Islam and the West, a senior Vatican cardinal said on Monday.
Cardinal Walter Kasper, a German like the Pope, also said in an interview with Reuters that he believed that a controversy over remarks made by Benedict before his election about Turkey's credentials to join the European Union had now been overcome."
