Speaking of large Papal Masses, I was accepted for the choir at the April 17 Mass in Nationals' Stadium in Washington, DC.

Pope Ratzinger I'm not Catholic, so I don't know the protocol -- but I don't think I've ever seen any Pope called by his previous name. It seems disrespectful. Is it meant to be?
To: NYer
Among the ten questions presented to Ratzinger,..... Um.........unless the questions were presented prior to April 2005, they weren't presented to "Ratzinger".
He's now Pope Benedict XVI. The questions were presented either to the Pontiff, the Pope, Benedict XIV or the Holy Father.

The problem, it seems to me, is primarily with the distribution of communion at such a Mass. It is almost impossible to do in any orderly and respectful manner.

I’m not sure I understand...wouldn’t such constraints also affect mass in front of St. Peter’s?

“there is a problem”Yes there is! But the problem is not where they preach, it's what they preach!
In Christ...Alone!

KABOOM! This is the key. Pope Ratzinger fishes the whole question out of the soup of pragmatism and brings it back to Christ’s will. Christ's feeding of the five-thousand is the closest biblical event that I can think of that could shed some light on this, as it was a proto-Eucharistic celebration. That's all I have. Maybe someone else can build on it.
