A non-Catholic senior Foreign Office source agrees: Senior Foreign Office source: "You'd be very foolish as a Government to fall in with the negative voices on a papal visit.

By the time he left, more people had turned out to see him than had seen the Sydney Olympics."

The fact that the visit turned out so well and that the Pope was received by loving crowds shows that it is a small group of haters in the media who make alot of noise. As catholics we cannot allow them to make their noises unattended. We must reply. we must speak out. we must make our voices heard too.
