It has emerged that Pope Benedict XVI is to visit the UK next year. It will be the first papal visit to the UK for more than 25 years, following that of Pope John Paul II back in May 1982. Details of the trip are yet to emerge but it is already being speculated that his visit might include Northern Ireland, something that was absent from his predecessor’s tour, when sectarian violence was more prevalent.
