Pope Benedict vows to heal very very very very old wounds

Not that he's ambitious or anything, but:
POPE Benedict XVI made his first papal trip yesterday, visiting the Italian city of Bari, where he pledged to work to end Roman Catholicism's 1,000-year-old rift with the Orthodox Church.

1,000 year-old rifts are fairly tall orders on the whole, but nice to see the guy grabbing the bull by the horns, as it were.

Also, can I just point out how cool it is that the new Pope's first papal trip is to visit the relics of Santa Claus?
