VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI takes his campaign to revive Christianity in an increasingly secular Europe to Britain today. He faces a daunting task in a nation largely at odds with his policies and where disgust over the church sex-abuse scandal runs high.
Benedict asked for prayers for the four-day visit and seemed almost apologetic when he thanked the British for the “vast amount of work” that had gone into preparations. The visit will cost British taxpayers $18.7 million, not counting extra policing costs.
