  • Story Text: Pope John Paul arrived back in Rome after an emotional
    four-day trip to his homeland, laying to rest speculation that
    he would retire during the visit and not return to Italy.


    The LOT airlines 737 carrying the 82-year-old Pope, his
    entourage and journalists arrived at Rome's Ciampino airport
    at 9:20 p.m. (1920 GMT).

    The pontiff visited his native Poland for the ninth and
    perhaps last time in a memory-packed trip that focused mostly
    on Krakow, the southern city where he studied and became a
    priest.
