President Barack Obama meets with Pope Benedict XVI

This event has not been added to any topics.

What do you get for a man who already possesses leadership over one-sixth of the world's population not to mention the highest earthly authority in the church?

When President Obama's staff went searching for the perfect gift for Pope Benedict XVI, they called Louis DiCocco, owner of a religious gift shop in Philadelphia, for advice.

"Someone there remembered us from the Pope's last visit," DiCocco said in a phone interview today. He and his shop had design and built a chair used by the pope during his meeting with U.S. bishops in Washington last year.
