World Youth Day organizers announced today that 440,000 young people have already signed up for the international gathering set for this coming August – a record enrollment figure this far out from the event.

“World Youth Day is an extraordinary experience for a Church which is a friend to the young, sharing their problems, a Church which is at the service of the younger generations,” said the President of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, Cardinal Stanislaw Rylko, at a June 28 Vatican press conference.

“It is an epiphany of the Christian faith on a truly global scale. And young people - especially in our old Europe, deeply secular and secularizing - have a special need for all this,” he said.

"…a record enrollment figure this far out from the event."So why say anything negative at all if you hate it so much?🙂
 
Because people tend to get rather haughty.

And “this far” from the event? That dosnt seem the slightest bit logical. Its less than a month away…you cannot plan an event for 400k and have 1.5 million come.
 
"Because people tend to get rather haughty.:“Scornfully and condescendingly proud”…er…I might want to choose another descriptor.I hardly think that characterization applies in this case…Joyful,happy,grateful are a teensy more accurate.

If you have a child and your child gets terrific grades does that make you haughty or joyfully proud in her as I am in these kids?Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go dry some wet blankets.🙂
