Pope to host Bush in Medieval Vatican Tower...
Pope Benedict XVI will uncharacteristically host talks with U.S. President George W. Bush in a restored medieval tower on Friday, to repay him for a warm reception at the White House, the Vatican said.
The pope usually receives heads of state in his private study in the Apostolic Palace, overlooking St. Peter's Square.
St. John's Tower is a round structure on a hilltop inside the Vatican gardens that is sometimes used as a residence for important guests.
After their private talks, Bush and the pope will stroll in the gardens to see a statue of the Madonna.
