Apostolic Journey of Pope Benedict To Spain -Post 1 Links


Ok time to this bay started . Another important trip that no doubt will make news. Between watching football today (Geaux Tigers) I will be updating this thread plus commenting in other posts on things that strike me

The Vatican has their page up for the visit. See Apostolic Journey

which will have the English translations of this talks.

They have up right now in English :
Program
Missal for the Apostolic Journey: Santiago de Compostela
Missal for the Apostolic Journey: Barcelona
Welcoming ceremony at the International Airport of Santiago de Compostela (November 6, 2010)
Visit to the Cathedral of San tiago de Compostela (November 6, 2010)

Whispers in the Loggia will be a must stop as well as others I link.

As usual the Pope gave a Press Conference on "Papal One" en route to Spain. More details will come out but Vatican Radio has a summary here.

The Benedetto XVI Forum with their pics plus translations of article will be a must stop too. On this page we see the following article that have been posted and largely translated from Italian and Spanish press regarding the trip:
Pilgrims gather to see Pope in Santiago and Barcelona
The Pope's trip as a gift for Spain
'No alternative to Benedict XVI'
Pope blasts Spain's 'aggressive' anti-Church ways
Pope arrives in Santiago
Visiting Compostela: A childhood wish fulfilled
An emotional Pope arrives in Galicia
PAPA RATZINGER: Father of the Church by CARDINAL JULIAN HERRANZ

Here is the text of a pretty powerful homily the Pope just gave. See Papal Homily at Mass for Compostela Holy Year "Europe Must Open Itself to God, Must Come to Meet Him Without Fear"
