CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER MAY NOT GREET POPETORONTO, (CWNews.com) -- Canadian Prime
Minister Jean Chretien will not be on hand
personally to greet Pope John Paul II when he
arrives in Toronto later this month, according to
media reports. Organizers for the World Youth Day celebration in
Toronto, which will take place July 22-28, say they
have been informed that the Canadian prime minister
will not participate in a welcoming ceremony. The
organizers have made no attempt to hide their
disappointment at that news. Spokesmen for the Canadian prime minister have said
that Chretien does not intend to belittle the Pope
by failing to greet him when he arrives in Toronto.
The prime minister's office claims, in fact, that no
final decision has been made regarding Chretien's
possible participation in the welcoming ceremony.
