The leader of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales has brushed off any concerns that there is a lack of enthusiasm for the Pope’s visit.
Archbishop Vincent Nichols said he was sure “Catholics are looking forward to this visit very much indeed”.
The archbishop’s comments came after it was revealed that thousands of tickets remained unsold for events during the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the UK.
David Cameron said he was offering the Pope a “very warm welcome.”
To state the bleeding obvious, the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. What is the point of speculating ahead of time?
