Condo Rice Refused to Meet Up by Pope

    Pope Benedict XVI

    Because His Holy was reported on a holiday.

    Pope Benedict XVI refused to meet US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in August, saying he was on holiday, an Italian newspaper reported Wednesday.

    Rice "made it known to the Vatican that she absolutely had to meet the pope" to boost her diplomatic "credit" ahead of a trip to the Middle East, the Corriere della Sera daily reported without citing its sources.

    She was hoping to meet the pontiff at his summer residence of Castel Gandolfo at the beginning of August, it said.

    "'The pope is on holiday' was the official response," the paper said.
