Pope Benedict holds his pastoral staff during a mass for the canonisation of five new saints in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican October 23, 2005. Pope Benedict reaffirmed the Roman Catholic rule of priestly celibacy on Sunday, rejecting suggestions that the way to confront the Church's shortage of priests was to allow them to marry. Speaking at the first canonisation ceremony of his six-month pontificate, he also expressed solidarity with the Church in China, where the communist government does not allow Catholics to openly recognise the Pope and the Vatican.
