Pope to meet with former president of Iran; confirm trip to Austria in 2007

The headlined really says it all, but CWNews has the details:

• On October 5, [the Pope] will meet with Austrian President Heinz Fischer, who is likely to convey a formal invitation for the Pontiff to visit Austria. Pope Benedict has already indicated that he hopes to travel to Austria in September 2007, for ceremonies marking the 850th anniversary of the Marian shrine at Mariazell.
• Late in October-- the most likely date is October 26-- the Pope will meet with Mohammad Khatami, the Islamic cleric who was president of Iran from 1997 until 2005, when he was succeeded by Mahmoun Ahmadinejad. The former Iranian leaders will participate in an October 27 seminar at the Gregorian University on how Christianity and Islam can handle the challenges of secularism, modernism, and democracy.
