Bolivian President Evo Morales meets Pope Benedict XVI

Bolivian President Evo Morales has met Pope Benedict XVI for talks at the Vatican on Monday as part of his European tour.

Mr Morales has been critical of the Catholic hierarchy, even listing the church among his political opponents.

Under a new constitution backed by Mr Morales, Bolivia has declared itself a secular state.

Ahead of the visit, Mr Morales said he was a Catholic but that he also held indigenous beliefs.
