Enormous Crowd: Pope Francis

Pope Francis: Speaking from a white stage and looking out over the enormous crowd, Francis urged young Catholics to go out and spread their faith "to the fringes of society, even to those who seem farthest away, most indifferent.", according to Times Colonist. Later Sunday, he issued a more pointed message to the region's bishops, telling them to better look out for their flocks and put an end to the "clerical" culture that places priests on a pedestal often with what Francis called the "sinful complicity" of lay Catholics who hold the clergy in such high esteem and RIO DE JANEIRO - An estimated 3 million people poured onto Rio's Copacabana beach Sunday for the final Mass of Pope Francis' historic trip to his home continent, cheering the first Latin American pope in one of the biggest turnouts for a papal Mass in recent history. "The church needs you, your enthusiasm, your creativity and the joy that is so characteristic of you!" he said to applause in his final homily of the World Youth Day festivities.
