Visit to Britain will resonate for years, says Brady

POPE Benedict’s messages during his historic visit will have a long significance for societies in Britain and Ireland, Cardinal Seán Brady has said.

The Primate of All-Ireland, who flew out to Edinburgh ahead of the pontiff’s arrival, said last night he was delighted to be able to join in the celebrations.

The Cardinal said Pope Benedict was expected to reflect on the value of Catholic education and the relationship between faith, civil society and religious denominations. “I am very much looking forward to this Papal visit to Britain,” the cardinal said.
