* PATRIARCH'S ILLNESS JEOPARDIZES POPE'S ARMENIA TRIP
=================================================
VATICAN (CWNews.com) -- The scheduled visit by Pope John Paul II to
Armenia, programmed for July 2-4, may be cancelled because of the illness
of the Catholicos Karekin I, the head of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
The Armenian news agency Snark reported on June 4 that the papal visit
had already been put off. But the Vatican did not confirm that story, and the
Armenian ambassador to the Holy See told reporters that preparations for
the trip are still underway. However, the ambassador did allow that the
medical condition of the Catholicos was a matter of concern, and could lead to
the cancellation of the trip.
