Pope Benedict XVI will visit Washington for three days in April, a Vatican spokesman announced yesterday, the first time a pope will be in the capital since 1979. Tens of thousands are expected to celebrate Mass with him in the new Nationals baseball stadium.
Benedict, who will turn 81 while visiting, had planned to speak before the United Nations in New York and then added the three-day stop in Washington, during which he will also go to the White House and meet with Catholic educators.
