I remember a few years ago he personally insisted to visit Greece and he was the first pope to issue a formal apology for "sins of action and omission" against the Orthodox Christians. Not sure if those Orthodox heads of Church themselves were deserving of such behavour but it was a bold decision on his part in any case.
So he was a man who wasn't afraid of responsibility.
