The pope's visit to the U.S., with a Rhode Island angle

Pope Benedict XVI's visit to the United States will go into high gear today with his first full day in the nation's capital.

Projo.com will stay on top of events with constantly updated coverage from the Associated Press, live video, and on-the-scene reports from John E. Mulligan, The Providence Journal's Washington bureau chief.

Mulligan will be filing news of special interest to Rhode Islanders for projo.com. As a veteran of a visit by former Pope John Paul II, Mulligan has a special vantage point in terms of comparisons and impressions.

Here's the pope's itinerary for his entire visit.

Coming up today will be live video from Pope Benedict XVI's meeting with President Bush at the White House at 10:30 a.m. While the meeting itself is closed, the Associated Press will have live coverage of the arrival and departure ceremonies. The pope will also take part in a small parade on leaving the White House to return to the Vatican residence in Washington.
