CNN have blogged tonight to confirm that The Pope Benedict XVl will
visit Jewish Synagogue in New York on 16th April, 2008
.......... apparently it is a First for the Pope and there is much discussion about it. The Jews in New York have met the Pope previously so I suppose the Pope is returning the call.
I know when I visited the Blue Mosque in Istanbul as a non Muslim much was made about my private
visit to the Islamic Mosque over 7
years ago and the wearing of the Islamic Scarf to go into the Mosque as its part of the Muslim Religion for women to cover their heads upon such an occasion. ..by friends, colleagues and family!
Pope Benedict XVl has gotten around quite a big since he was elected after the Polish Pope John 23rd died several years ago... interesting news from CNN blog .keep on blogging..
