Pope Benedict XVI is to visit the UK in January 2010, the BBC has learned.
It will be the first papal visit to Britain since 1982, when Pope John Paul II's six-day tour drew huge crowds.
Then, masses were held in cities including Cardiff, London.... and Edinburgh.

He can pay his respects at the
largest mosque in the world, and request Vatican-to-UK-Caliphate formal relations.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Time was, a Pope would have had to fear for his safety from the Anglicans.
Now? The Anglicans will most likely be at least civil, if not outright friendly.
The muzzies, OTOH ...
Watch Six, Papa.

I wonder if he’ll be beatifying John Henry Newman while he’s there.

The muzzies, OTOH ...Have you forgotten the Holy Father's recent trip to the Holy Land? His muzzie reception was overwhelmingly positive, even enthusiastic.

What can I say, as a Protty I have little interest in the Pope.... OTOH he seems a nice guy, I could only wish him well.

I hope he presents a bill to the Queen for all of the stolen Church property, and forgives her predecessors for persecuting and killing Catholics.
