[Pope and presiding bishop...]
Pope and presiding bishop meet in Rome (99-184). Pope John Paul II warmly greets Presiding Bishop Frank T. Griswold at The Vatican on November 29. Griswold, in Rome for talks with Vatican officials, had a conversation with the pontiff and, joined by his wife, Phoebe, and others, presented the pope with a bronze figure crafted by an Episcopal priest.
