By Rose Cuervo
in 1995, the World Youth Day took place in Manila Philippines. At that time, the closing Mass was the largest crowd ever assembled--5M people--which was bested only in the same location last year when Pope Francis visited--at 6M people.

Confession: Not for the faint of heart.
By Steve Reasbeck
It was a hot, hot day, and the men were sweltering in their blue wool uniforms. They had marched quite a distance in the Pennsylvania heat, and it was now late in the afternoon on July 2, 1863.

It is the only Church which has been in existence since the time
