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. |
