let us take our eyes away from the news for a moment in order to look at the news that is to say. et us ignore for a moment how it is being reported, and look instead at what is happening
a very large public mass is taking place, today, in madrid, the capital of a once very great, and once very Catholic country it is held outdoors, because there is no building in the world that ca accommodate (way) more than a million people.
this mass is to be sung by a gentleman who is in his 85th year. there are fwe progessive intellectuals( including nominal Catholics) who will not assure us that he his totally out of touch with our times.
according to official estimates, some 1500000 young persons most i should think of athe roman persuasion had checked into the madrid area at the outset of world youth day if you have ever been to a hockey game in ottawa tou may know what roughly 21000 people look like assuming of course a full house now multiply that by 75 to ger some idea then add those who did not need to fine a bed in the madrid area.
i emphasize this number even though every one of those persons is a unique human soul who carries to madrid and carries away from madrid an unreproducible experience those who wish to generalize about them, may do so as those who wish to generalize about story say the young rioters in england world and generalizations story are not with our use for i should think youth day is very little overlap between story world youth day
