50 years ago: The Archbishop of Canterbury visits the pope
On December 2, 1960 the Archbishop of Canterbury, Most Reverend Geoffrey Fisher, met with Pope John XXIII at the Vatican for about an hour; it was the first time in more than 500 years that a head of the Church of England had visited a pope.
