	Pope Reaches Last Stop on German Tour The Euronews September 24, 2011 http://www.euronews.net/2011/09/24/pope-reaches-last-stop-on-german-tour/ Pope Benedict XVI has reached the final destination on a four-day trip to his German homeland. Amid protests, difficult topics like paedophile priest scandals and religious and geographical divisions in the country, it has not always been a smooth visit. But on his last stop, in mainly Catholic Freiburg in the southwest, he was guaranteed a warm welcome. At the pontiff’s request, a meeting was arranged with ex-German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, 81, making a rare public appearance. The Pope also met representatives of the Orthodox Church. Earlier, ahead of a papal mass in Erfurt in eastern Germany, a man fired an air gun at security staff. The Vatican said the Pope was never in any danger.
