the Pope's visit on DVD
This one-hour documentary by FOX about Pope Benedict XVI's recent visit to the U.S. looks interesting:
Hosted by Chris Wallace. In April 2008, Pope Benedict XVI made an historic trip to the United States, his first since being named Pope. This one-hour documentary taps the world-wide resources of Fox News to examine the man, his mission, and the role he desires for the Roman Catholic Church in the 21st century. Born Joseph Ratzinger, Benedict grew up in the small villages of Bavaria Germany as Hitler came to power. He became a priest, a brilliant college professor, and a top advisor to Pope John Paul II. After John Paul's death, Pope Benedict XVI took over a church faced with significant challenges, including: dwindling numbers of Catholics in Europe, ascandals and priest shortages in the United States, a growing secularism throughout the West, and the spread of radical Islam throughout the world.
This hour reveals the inside stories behind Benedict's plan to revitalize the faith of Catholics in America; his outreach to American Protestants, including Evangelicals; his visit to Ground Zero -- the site of Al Qaeda's September 11, 2001 attack on New York City; his White House meeting with President Bush, and his historic address to the United Nations. Interviews include top Catholic theologians, Former Great Britain Prime Minister Tony Blair, President Bush's National Security Advisor Steven Hadley, the Vatican's Ambassador to the United Nations, the Reverend Pat Robertson, and others.
Available May 13 on DVD.
