Pope, ending trip, recalls Nazi terror in WWII

None

Pope Benedict told a Mass in England on Sunday the world felt "shame and horror" at suffering inflicted by his German homeland in World War II and recalled a key air battle that saved Britain from invasion.

 

At the same mass in a park in the British midlands where the pope spoke of the war, he beatified Cardinal John Henry Newman, one of the most prominent English converts from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism. (Reuters)
