REUTERS PICTURES OF THE DECADE. Newly elected Pope Benedict XVI, also known as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, greets thousands of pilgrims from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican April 19, 2005. German Cardinal Ratzinger, the strict defender of Catholic orthodoxy for the past 23 years, was elected Pope on Tuesday despite a widespread assumption he was too old and divisive to win the election.
