ZAGREB, June 15 (Hina) - We were informed of the initiative of the state officials, Zagreb Archbishop and president of the Croatian Bishops' Conference Josip Bozanic said Friday after First Deputy Prime Minister Goran Granic
officially invited Pope John Paul II to visit Croatia. I am glad that during his visit to the Holy See, Dr Granic discussed the possibility of the pastoral visit of the Holy Father to Croatia because this is the wish of the Croatian faithful, Bozanic said, adding Croatian bishops in cooperation with the Holy See would discuss all possibilities and circumstances for the visit of Pope John Paul II to Croatia. I don't need to particularly emphasise the real connection between the Croatian people and the Pope. The Pope's visits confirmed this historical, close to 14 centuries long connection between our people and the Vatican, Bozanic said.(hina) it sb
