Pope not coming

[NewsWhore]

The Papal Nuncio to the DR, Josef Wesolowsky has told El Caribe that Pope Benedict XVI will not visit the DR or Puerto Rico in 2011 as had been announced previously. Pope Benedict XVI had been invited to take part in next year's Santo Domingo Book Fair that will be dedicated to the Vatican. An alternative date was August, but this will also not be possible either. Nuncio Wesolowsky said that the Pope's advancing age limits the long-haul trips he could make. Wesolowsky said that the Pope plans to be in Spain for a meeting with Catholic youth in August. Ambassador to the Vatican, Victor Grimaldi had announced the pope could visit for the book fair, and then Monsignor Antonio Camilo had said he could come in August.
