Pope plans visit to Britain despite Falklands fighting
Pope John Paul II will proceed with his historic weekend trip to Britain despite the Falklands war. Vatican aides note possible shortening of the itinerary and no meetings with Thatcher, while London officials insist eight to nine English Scottish and Welsh stops remain on the plan. The visit aims to ease Catholic Anglican tensions despite Protestant opposition led by Ian Paisley and questions about papal reception by Queen Elizabeth II and Archbishop Runcie.
