Pope to Respond to Question of Faith on TV

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: For the first time in the history of the Vatican, the Pope will respond to questions about his faith on a television programme.

Benedict XVI is expected to speak mostly about Jesus – he has just written the second of two volumes on Christ's life, "Jesus of Nazareth", due to be published on Thursday.

He will appear on a religious affairs programme called "In his image", which will be aired on Good Friday - April 22.

It will be broadcast at 2.10pm in Italy (1.10pm GMT), the time recognised by the Catholic Church as the moment that Christ died on the cross after being crucified. >>> Nick Squires, Rome | Tuesday, March 08 2011
