style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Pope Benedict XVI
steps down with an uptick in personal popularity and wide support for his
decision to retire, according to a <A
href="http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/page/politics/washington-post-abc-news-poll-feb-13-17-2013/55/">new
Washington Post-ABC News poll</A>. But Benedict leaves his position less
well-liked than his predecessor or the Roman Catholic Church overall, a sign
that his own brand failed to take flight as did Pope John Paul
II’s.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>About three-quarters of Catholics (76 percent) and a smaller
majority of all Americans (54 percent) view Benedict favorably, both numbers up
slightly from a 2008 survey. Only 14 percent of Catholics and 27 percent of the
overall public rates the pontiff unfavorably.<o:p></o:p></P>
