The Holy Father is off to Malta tomorrow afternoon for a short visit which will include a pilgrimage to the catacombs of St Paul at Rabat. The Vatican website has a page with official details of the visit.
Just by the way; I have been reading various online articles in The Times of Malta and have found it most edifying to see how polite, intelligent and reasonable most of the comments are. This does not surprise me, having made two very enjoyable visits there.

"Polite, intelligent and reasonable" - the comments in Times of Malta simply reflect the attitude of the people of Malta who are polite, intelligent and reasonable!
A wonderful country which I must revisit soon.
Of course, there is always the possibility that the Holy Father won't be able to fly...
It was reported 4/16/10 that the prominet US Catholic lawer Robert Bennet, is advising the Pope to cancel his trip to England.
He was reported to have said,that the possibility of a problem from the international treaty, although remote, should not be discounted.
"Of course, there is always the possibility that the Holy Father won't be able to fly..."
Unlike Joseph of Cupertino.
Compare The Times of Malta's comments with Monday's Guardian interview with Philip Pullman which provoked this letter:
As an atheist I hold no truck with any religion but I recognise bias when I see it. Would the Guardian have printed that cover to G2 ('I hope the wretched Catholic church will vanish entirely', 19 April) with the term "Catholic church" replaced by "Islam"? I don't believe you would.
