Zenit reports:
Benedict XVI and U.S. President George Bush will continue a conversation about faith and reason when the Pope visits the White House. The two leaders discussed this theme when Bush visited the Vatican last year.
The U.S. ambassador to the Holy See, Mary Ann Glendon, announced this topic for Wednesday’s meeting, citing a statement from the White House.
“It is a very short announcement, but the wording is significant,” she told Vatican Radio. “It says that the Pope and the president will continue the discussions that they have been having about the role of faith and reason in advancing their shared goals. I think that is significant, because that word ‘continue’ relates to the fact that apparently the last time they met they developed a personal relationship: They hit it off, so to speak.” . . .
