Benedict Went To China

The Pope & The Druid

...Or something like that. They're saying his visit to Westminster was like Nixon going to China. Fr. Z. with more about that. I was watching the encounter streaming live, and may I just say as a preliminary comment that London in twilight was absolutely lovely?

The Druid (I call him that affectionately, by the way, not in disparagement) was very gracious. He was so cute waiting for the Pope to arrive....as if he were waiting anxiously for his date. See?
