The wifi has been spotty making it difficult to keep tge blog and pictures updated. i just posted a bunch of new shots to the web. today the bishop joined us for breakfast and the catechesis session. it was great to have him with the group. he even travelled tge subway with us and joined in a few precatachesis songs!!! he really does love spending time with the youth and im sure for all the bishops present the feeling must be profound to be around 20,000 worshiping young people. ive been impressed with the quality of the liturgy. if anyone thinks the young people will have a hard time with the new translation they would be surprised at the resoonse of the young to various traditional hymns and even lati mass parts. There has been some news about protests. apparently they were right outside the hotel. some of the kids got to witness spanish policia at their finest. as much as the press likes to blow things out of proportion there hasn't been much to worry about. i hope it stays that well. generally the people seem greatful we are here. those that arent appear to be godless europeans. good thing we are here.
