"Today" Show to Broadcast from Vatican on June 2; Pope, Abp. Dolan to Appear in Hour-Long Show

The Huffington Post website reports today (May 31, 2011) that NBC's "Today" show will broadcast live from Vatican City on Thursday, June 2nd, in an hour-long show that will include behind-the-scenes footage of Pope Benedict XVI and a wide-ranging interview with New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan.

Archbishop Dolan -- who is also the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops -- will discuss several topics, including the church's sexual abuse scandals, the decline in church attendance in Europe, and changes in church demographics in the U.S.

Dolan arrived at the Vatican over the weekend.

Thursday's episode of "Today" will not include an interview with the pope, but camera crews have taped the pontiff in more private moments at his Apostolic Palace home.
