VATICAN CITY — For the first time, the Qatar-based Al Jazeera television network will have a correspondent on a papal flight.
Barbara Serra, an Italian-born, London-based presenter for Al Jazeera’s English-language channel, will fly with Pope Benedict XVI to Jordan and Israel May 8-15.
The list of 70 journalists admitted to the papal flight was posted at the Vatican Saturday. CNS Rome bureau chief John Thavis also is accredited for the flight.

This is certainly a move in the right direction from Al Jazeera as well as the Catholic Church. It is a step to planting the seeds of World Peace!!!
