<I love this ... Pope Benedict XVI is doing something right for once! :-)
The photovoltaic cells will convert sunlight into electricity, generating enough power to light, heat or cool the 6,000 seat hall, engineers say.
Conserving global resources has been a priority for the German-born Pope.
Since he was elected in 2005, Benedict XVI has criticised "the unbalanced use of energy" in the world.

Now let's just hope that he has kept the chapter in the book that Pope John Paul II added...
...Today, almost half a century after the publication of the Encyclical, fresh knowledge has led to the recognition that evolution is more than a hypothesis. It is indeed remarkable that this theory has been progressively accepted by researchers, following a series of discoveries in various fields of knowledge. The convergence, neither sought nor fabricated, of the results of work that was conducted independently is in itself a significant argument in favour of this theory. ...
