Pope John Paul went for a private visit to Villavallelonga recently. I've been told November 6, 2001. He entered through the side door of the church and prayed for one hour at the tomb of Don Gaetano Tantalo. If true, how wonderful indeed. However, I am somewhat skeptical. EITHER .......
I will write to the vatican for confirmation and keep you posted.
