Aides breathe sigh of relief after pope's first day in Turkey

At the end of a long first day in Turkey, Pope Benedict XVI's aides seemed to breathe a collective sigh of relief.

The Mass was held next to the ruins of a house where the Virgin Mary is thought to have spent her last years.

Benedict held the Mass as part of his efforts to reach out to the Christian minority in Turkey, even as he seeks dialogue with Muslims who were angered over a speech he made in September in which he cited a medieval text that linked Islam and violence.
