When Pope Benedict arrived at the White House this morning, he was greeted by the President and Mrs. Bush, thousands of invited guests, and members of President Bush's cabinet.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was one of the few to personally greet the Pope. She held on to his hand for a relatively long time. She then kissed his ring.
It seemed to be a thrilling moment for the Catholic Pelosi.
