The White House has scheduled a dinner next week in honor of Pope Benedict XVI’s first visit to the United States, but one guest will be conspicuously absent from the proceedings: the pope himself.
There are no competing events listed on the pope’s schedule, and the White House was unable to explain Benedict’s absence from the dinner.
Several Catholic overlords will sit in for the Pope during the feast. Meanwhile, the Pope himself will be across town, writing his memoirs: “great dinners are those in honor of one’s self, but the best are those that you need not even attend.”
