Pope Benedict XVI: Turned 85 Year
Pope Benedict XVI Today (April 16, 2012) turns 85. And here at Paradise Door Step, we celebrate him!

This is the man who has been around the sun for eight and a half decades. This is also the man who was ordained a priest almost 61 years ago (on 29 June 1951).

This year, Pope Benedict is also celebrating 35 years since he was consecrated into a Bishop (28 May 1977) and created a Cardinal (27 June 1977): And even more importantly, 7 years since he ascending into the Papacy (19 April 2005)!

Here is to our octogenarian leader of the Roman Catholic Church in the World: Happy birthday Pope Benedict XVI!
