Pope Benedict XVI has adopted Cardinal Newman’s motto, Cor ad cor loquitur, as the theme of his visit to Britain. The motto, “heart speaks to heart”, borrowed by Cardinal Newman from St Francis de Sales, the 17th-century French bishop. Cardinal Newman chose it for his coat of arms when he was made a cardinal by Pope Leo XIII in 1879. The Holy Father will visit England and Scotland from 16-19 September 2010.
