Did you see all the Eastern Catholic bishops with Pope Benedict during the closing Liturgy?

So good to see Metropolitan Stefan Soroka of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in the United States situated so close to the Pope.

Dear Pavloosh,

I think the Pope is rather neat! I like him very much!

And not just because he has EC bishops nearby.

Although . . . smile

Dear Pavloosh:

There were an estimated 800 Bishops (East and West) who attended 2005 WYD, conducting evangelization and catechesis throughout, assisted by almost 10,000 priests!

What a glorious meeting of the youth in Cologne!
