Pope presides over his first saint-making ceremony

Pope Benedict XVI presided over his first saint-making ceremony today, canonising five people in a Mass in St Peter's Square that also closed a meeting of the world's bishops.

A Chilean Jesuit who worked with the poor, two prelates beatified by Pope John Paul II during his 2001 visit to Ukraine and two Italians - one a Capuchin brother, the other a founder of a religious order - were being added to the list of the Roman Catholic Church's saints.
