Today one can travel almost anywhere in the world in a few hours. In earlier days a trip to Britain would have taken weeks or even months. There were a few hundred years when Britain persecuted Catholics so the pope would not have been very welcome. It was not until Pope Paul VI began making trips in the 1960s that the pope shook off the image as being a 'prisoner in the Vatican.'
