As details for the upcoming Papal visit to the United Kingdom continue to be announced, Archbishop Vincent Nichols of Westminster recently discussed some of the opportunities that will be available for the people of England to follow the Pope on his trip.
The British prelate also addressed the cost of the September 16-19 visit, which has been the subject of recent media criticism.
Speaking to Vatican Radio, Archbishop Nichols, current president of the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, explained that preparations are being made to offer ample opportunity for the faithful to participate in the Holy Father's visit to the country.
“There are three large outdoor events, and in an age of safety regulations, security problems, making sure that nothing can possibly go wrong, three major outdoor events in three different locations in three days is a real challenge,” the archbishop said.
