Pope Benedict XVI is calling on Iranian authorities to let Catholics in the country have the priests and churches they need to freely practice their faith. Benedict also told Iran's new ambassador to the Holy See on Thursday that Iran's rich spiritual heritage makes it a prime candidate for international collaboration on peace initiatives. Benedict didn't mention concerns over Iran's nuclear ambitions in a speech accepting the ambassador's credentials.
