He will be replaced by Bishop Kurt Koch of Basel, Switzerland, ‘Vatican Radio’ has reports. The 60-year-old Swiss has informed his colleagues by letter that he had been requested by Pope Benedict XVI to take up the post of president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, which includes the chairmanship of the Commission for Relations with the Jews, from 1 July.<br />
