Pope hopes to travel to peaceful Holy Land

By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pope Benedict XVI said he does not feel strong enough to plan many long trips, but that he would like to travel to a hopefully peaceful Holy Land. "I have to say that I've never felt strong enough to plan many long trips," the pontiff said in an interview with German television being broadcast on Sunday. "I'd like to visit the Holy Land, and I hope to visit it in a time of peace." The text of the interview was released by the Vatican ahead of the broadcast.
