Summary:Pope John Paul embarked on his longest visit to any country in five years of a globe-trotting papacy when he visited Canada in September. Diocesan officials said that the Pope was assisted for the first time by women, assisting with Holy Communion, at a mass in Quebec. The Pope's opposition to women entering the priesthood is well known but he approved the participation of women during the mass. NOTE: Date is approximate.
