I was in the Colorado Symphony Chorus in 1993 when Pope John Paul II came to Denver, and performed on stage while he was only 50 feet away. Definitely the closest I’ve ever been to a world leader! It was in interesting experience.

**Half a million people fill Sydney to greet Pope Benedict XVI**

Hopefully, no exaggeration here!

**Emphatically, the Pope called on pilgrims not to leave God on the sidelines. **

This is a message for all mankind, not just for youth.
