Flash: Pope Benedict *will* tour in popemobile during Washington DC visit

*FLASH*

Buried deep in the story, but it originates from a knowledgeable source:

Susan Gibbs, communications director for the Washington, D.C., archdiocese, said there will be plenty of other chances to see the pope. She said Vatican officials this week agreed to take the "popemobile" out for a spin several times while the pontiff is in the nation’s capital, making papal sightings more possible for the crowds expected to line the streets. The routes have not yet been released, Gibbs said.

This update reverses earlier reports that there would be no popemobile touring during the visit. Hoorah!
