Benedict seems to see that he must follow in John Paul II's footsteps as a champion of interreligious dialogue.

...psychological depth to the next level, with massive canvases of deep emotional power, making possible the work of El Greco and Caravaggio.The exhibition is not arranged by strict chronology but rather thematically, and the most central room is devoted to erotic works (the room is entered past a kitschy cloth of red brocade that is tied back from the entrance by a gold cord).
