Pope Benedict XVI will visit England and Scotland on a four-day Papal visit from 16-19 September 2010. The theme for Pope Benedict XVI's 2010 visit to the UK is Cor ad cor loquitur - Heart speaks to heart. Cardinal John Henry Newman chose the words as the motto to go on his coat of arms. Heart speaks to heart is a fitting choice for this papal visit as, on the final day of his Apostolic Journey, the Holy Father will beatify Cardinal Newman - the much-loved Victorian theologian.
