LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - He may never have seen Oscar-winner Jon Voight as a male prostitute in "Midnight Cowboy," but Pope Benedict XVI will be among the first to see him portray the last head of the Roman Catholic Church.

CBS television said on Wednesday that Benedict will attend a world premiere screening of the network's upcoming big-budget miniseries charting the life of the late Pope John Paul II, with Voight in the title role.

The special screening of "Pope John Paul II" will be held November 17 at the Vatican in the Paolo VI Hall, site of the pope's weekly general audience, ahead of the network broadcast of the two-part miniseries on December 4 and December 7, CBS said.
