A Telegraph leader

Still in today's Daily Telegraph, a leader entitled 'A papal shot across Beijing's bows'.

It included the following.

'Joseph Ratzinger surprised us by the receptive, pastoral face he presented to the world once he had moved from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to the papal throne. He disarmed his liberal critics by the publication in January of Deus Caritas Est, his first encyclical as Benedict XVI. And yesterday he fired a shot across China's bows by naming Bishop Joseph Zen of Hong Kong, a Salesian, among the first batch of cardinals he will create next month. This Pope has started slowly. But he is rapidly gaining momentum and emerging from the immense shadow thrown by his predecessor.'

Up The Pope, as Frankie Howerd might have said.
