<B>Pope Benedict XVI visits Poland</B>

Poles gave German-born Pope Benedict XVI an enthusiastic welcome yesterday as he arrived for a four-day visit intended to honor predecessor John Paul II and further German-Polish reconciliation from the wounds of World War II.

Benedict beamed, and managed to keep his skullcap from flying off in a brisk breeze, unlike his arrival on his first foreign trip in Germany last year.

President Lech Kaczynski and a crowd of about 1,000 people greeted Benedict’s plane at Warsaw’s international airport, while more people holding white and yellow Vatican flags waited on the street to watch him pass by on his way into the city.
