Pope Praises U.S for Their Values

Pope Benedict, ahead of his first trip to the United States, praised Americans on Friday, March 29 who oppose gay marriage and abortion and called for global nuclear disarmament.

In an address to new U.S. ambassador to the Vatican Mary Ann Glendon, Benedict touched on issues he will likely raise on his April 15-20 visit, during which he will meet President George W. Bush in Washington and address the United Nations.

Oh boy, I can't wait for this visit!
