Madeleine's parents arrive in Rome

The parents of missing Madeleine McCann have arrived in Rome ahead of a meeting with the Pope.

Hopefully the McCann's meeting with The Pope will prove significant. Their anguish is clearly apparent on the latest press release pictures. Let's hope a message from The Pope ... will be the 'straw that breaks the camel's back ... as far as her abductors are concerned. I feel intuitively, that this meeting WILL be significant ... I sense whoever has Madeleine will listen to the Pope, letting Madeleine be reunited with her family ....


UK MSN, headline reads:
"Travelling in Sir Philip Green's private jet, Kate and Gerry McCann flew from the Algarve to the Italian capital. It is the first time the couple have left Portugal together since their daughter was abducted 26 days ago.Mr McCann said they were feeling nervous about meeting the Pontiff because it was such a huge opportunity to raise the profile of their daughter's case. "Meeting the Pope is so potentially hugely important to what we are trying to achieve as a family. We never for one moment thought we would get such publicity, but it means we can get our message across." The couple said they hoped to spend a few moments speaking to Pope Benedict XVI when they meet him at the General Audience on Wednesday. "This is a huge privilege and absolutely brilliant that we are having the opportunity even to be in the audience. If he did speak to us, then we would be delighted," he said. Mrs McCann, who is still taking Madeleine's favourite toy Cuddle Cat everywhere she goes, added: "I think it will really help us."
