There is some question on EWTN now as to what language the Holy Father will speak when he addresses the United Nations in a few minutes.
It might well be remembered that when he visited Turkey, the representative of Turkey addressed him in English and Pope Benedict XVI addressed him in French because, as he said, his remarks were prepared in French, the official diplomatic language since 1066 when William of Normandy conquered England, and not in English.
I shouldn't be at all surprised if today the Holy Father speaks in French. But I also wouldn't be surprised if he speaks in English.
