On his first day spent in the city of New York, Pope Benedict XVI laid emphasis on recalling world’s nation their duty of religious liberty and protection of human rights. He also demanded a fresh dialogue among the varied stains of Christianity. Also, his historic stopover on the Passover eve made him the foremost pope who set his foot inside the American synagogue.

Annoyed philosophical remarks and mild weather characterized the whole of Benedict’s travel all over the city, as curious onlookers looked up with the hope to catch a glimpse of the pontiff.

Having spent three days on the Washington, D.C. where he continually discussed the fiery matter of the sexual abuse and that too by one Catholic clergy, Benedict switched over to the less rousing topics. While he addressed UN with the speech that emphasized on the collective role of the international community in promotion of peace was an instigating one for the standing ovation, but he refrained to mention the names of individual countries to avert any criticism. He thereby extended the hand of conciliation so as to strengthen the bond between Jews and Catholics that might have gone week due to the recent revival of pope regarding one Good Friday prayer that asked Jews for conversion to Christianity.
