Vatican City, 10 July 2014 (VIS) – On
the morning of Saturday 26 July the Holy Father is provisionally
scheduled to pay a private visit to the evangelical pastor Giovanni
Traettino, a friend from his time in Buenos Aires, in his church of
the Reconciliation in Caserta. The idea arose from Pope Francis'
encounter with a group of evangelical pastors last month.
