Which Way, L.A.?
The Pope in the Holy Land
Pope John Paul says next Monday's trip to the Holy Land is not a diplomatic mission, but a spiritual pilgrimage. He also called his extraordinary acknowledgement of the past sins of his Church a confession to God, not an apology to Jews or any other human beings. Nevertheless, the Pope is the leader of one billion Catholics and also a head of state. His every word and action is subject to political scrutiny as well as theological analysis. On this edition, Warren Olney speaks with Catholics, Muslims and Jews about their hopes and expectations for next week's historic visit. Also, City Attorney Jim Hahn talks about the end of the lawsuit against Smith & Wesson by the City of Los Angeles. The gunmaker has agreed to a number of safety measures.
