Religion in the News: Coming to America

Details of Pope Benedict's trip to the United States were released this week at the U.S. Bishops' Conference, but many are not happy with the 80-year-old pontiff's plans. The pope will only visit New York and Washington, D.C., because he needs to conserve energy, a bishop reportedly said. Other large U.S. cities have expressed dismay over the plans, however, including Boston -- the city at the center of the priest sex-abuse scandal. What do you think of the pope's plans?
