On the recordApril 9, 2008
On behalf of our county and my congressional district, which includes the University of Notre Dame, we want to welcome Pope Benedict XVI on his first apostolic visit to the United States. He is a highly regarded theologian and scholar, having written over 25 books. Reconciliation and peace have been the major themes of his papacy. He has focused on the dignity of the human person, standing behind refugees, exiles and others. We welcome Pope Benedict XVI to our beloved country. He has been a leader for peace, and we look forward to his visit.
