## Caption

#flashbackfriday from the #statesmanphoto archives to 1987: the only time a pope visited Texas. Pope John Paul II opens a leatherbound collection of writings, presented to him by Rev. Thomas J. Harvey, Executive Director of Catholic Charities, in San Antonio on Sept. 13, 1987. Photo by TOM LANKES/AMERICAN-STATESMAN. Starting this week, people in Central Texas will travel some 600 miles west to see Pope Francis during his visit to Juárez, Chihuahua, on Feb. 17. #pope #popejohnpaulii #statesmanarchives
