Cherie Blair will visit the Holy Father in the next few days. She's currently in Turin and she will be the first British Official to visit His Holiness in the Vatican.

This is according to 'The Daily Mail'.

For the ones who are interested, here is the first Encyclical Letter of the Pope Benedictus (I highly recomend the lecture of it, to Catholics and no Catholics, since it is said this is one of the best Encyclicals of all time):

"God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him” (1 Jn 4:16).".

Well, she's classed as one apparantly. When I posted that the newspapers were saying she'd meet him in the next few days - about 3 weeks has passed and she still hasn't been - Laura Bush has though.
