Small coterie advises pope, but decisions his own (AP)

Posted: 04 Apr 2010 12:08 AM PDT

FILE - In this file photo taken Tuesday March 17, 2009, Pope Benedict XVI, in white, raises his hands to greet media representatives, as Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Tarciso Bertone, at left foreground, his personal secretary Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, at left in background, and Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi , at the microphone at right, look on, at the end of a press conference held on the aircraft en route to Yaounde, Cameroon. Benedict XVI has surrounded himself with a small group of men he feels he can trust, but he acts very much on his own. That isolation and shunning of advice have frequently created problems and are increasingly under scrutiny as the clerical sex scandal inches closer to him. Early on in his 5-year-old papacy, the pontiff provoked a furious reaction from Muslims when he linked the Prophet Muhammad to violence in a speech Vatican officials said he wrote himself. Then he enraged Jews for the 'unforeseen mishap' of being unaware that a bishop whose excommunication he lifted was a Holocaust-denier. The pope similarly is unlikely to have known that his personal preacher, during a solemn Good Friday sermon, would compare the uproar over the church's sex abuse scandal to persecution of Jews. Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi - who has frequently had to put out these fires - said Saturday April 3, 2010 that such a comparison was not the line of the Vatican, the Catholic Church or even the intent of the preacher himself, Rev. Raniero Cantalamessa. (AP Photo/Andrew Medichini, FILE)AP - Pope Benedict XVI has surrounded himself with a small group of men he feels he can trust, but he acts very much on his own. That isolation and shunning of advice have frequently created problems and are increasingly under scrutiny as the clerical sex scandal inches closer to him.
