http://wcbstv.com/topstories/local_story_117133240.html Pope Benedict XVI To Visit New York City
Invitation By UN Secretary General Accepted; No Date Set
(CBS) NEW YORK CBS 2 has learned that Pope Benedict XVI is planning to visit New York City for a trip to the United Nations headquarters.
There is no date scheduled for the visit just yet, but the United Nations confirmed that Secretary General Ban Ki-moon met with the Pope and extended an invitation for the visit, to which the Pope agreed.
Press Office Director Fr. Federico Lombardi S.J. made the announcement Friday. "The Pope," said Fr. Lombardi, "has accepted the invitation in general terms, and has expressed his willingness to visit the U.N. headquarters, although as yet there is no date or program for the trip."
John Paul II visited the U.N. headquarters in 1979, and again in 1995 for the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the organization.
