The day after Pope Benedict announced that Madrid Spain would host next World Youth Day - 2011. It seems someone is not happy with that news.

“One new step in the battle of the forces of secularism (and its vandals) against the Church in Spain...”
Secularism, or Islam?
Just about everything I’ve read recently strongly suggests that the change in Spain from Christianity to atheism is just about complete.
The more I learn about Spain in the 1930’s, the more I like Franco!
O sacred head, surrounded
by crown of piercing thorn!
O bleeding head, so wounded,
reviled and put to scorn!
Our sins have marred the glory
of thy most holy face,
yet angel hosts adore thee
and tremble as they gaze
I see thy strength and vigor
all fading in the strife,
and death with cruel rigor,
bereaving thee of life;
O agony and dying!
O love to sinners free!
Jesus, all grace supplying,
O turn thy face on me.
In this thy bitter passion,
Good Shepherd, think of me
with thy most sweet compassion,
unworthy though I be:
beneath thy cross abiding
for ever would I rest,
in thy dear love confiding,
and with thy presence blest.
This doesn’t make one happy, but I go to a Marian church here in the US, and our shrine to Our Lady has been vandalized several times.
