Pope Receives Kissinger

Castel Gandolfo, Italy, Sep. 29 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI received Henry Kissinger, the former U.S. secretary of state, in a private audience at Castel Gandolfo, reported the Vatican.

The Vatican press office did not issue any public statement on what was discussed during Thursday's meeting.

Kissinger, who was Secretary of State from 1973 to 1977, also met with Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi and President Giorgio Napolitano during his weeklong visit to Rome.

The German-born American diplomat served as national security advisor and later secretary of state during the presidency of Richard Nixon, a position he continued to hold during the presidency of Gerald Ford.

In 1973, Kissinger, along with Le Duc Tho of Vietnam, won the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to negotiate the Paris Peace Accords to end the Vietnam War.

Thought this looked interesting.

The pictures of Henry Kissinger with Anton LeVey are all I can think of when I read this.

The statement is applicable to both, Dawn. You can tell a lot from the company a man keeps.
