From the AFP:

Pope Benedict XVI arrived here Tuesday for a six-day visit during which he hopes to heal the wounds from a decades-long sex scandal which have disfigured the US Roman Catholic church.

US President George W. Bush prepared an unprecedented welcome for the 80-year-old pontiff, becoming the first US leader to greet a visiting head of state at the airport.
