When Pope Benedict XVI gets to NY on the morning of April 18, his first stop will be the United Nations.
He’s supposed to get there about 10:45 a.m. Then his schedule will look something like this, according to the U.N.:
* Arrival of H.H. Pope Benedict XVI and the Vatican press
- Official meeting with the Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
- The Papal address in the UN General Assembly Hall
- Official meeting with the General Assembly President Srgjan Kerim and other senior UN officials
- Serenade by children’s choir
- Stop at flag flown at the bombed UN offices in Baghdad
- Stop at the UN Meditation Room
- Departure of H.H. Pope Benedict XVI.

The world of religion, we don't have to tell you, is vast. The purpose of this blog is for Stern to note, flag and comment on some of the more interesting religious developments on the scene – weighty and quirky, somber and laughable, far away and just down the road. He won't interpret Scripture, take sides in conflicts or judge anyone. But he will take advantage of the journalist's license to observe.
