"With an intellectual arrogance, people think that they are better than others, and destructive quarrels start. Then the Church becomes a caricature," Benedict said.
The Catholic Church has been badly hit by an international controversy caused by the pope's decision to lift the excommunication of an ultra-conservative bishop, Richard Williamson, who has denied that Jews were killed in the Nazi gas chambers.
