Thousands gather for symbolic Pope Benedict mass
Thousands pressed into a Warsaw square today for a Mass by Pope Benedict XVI at the spot where his predecessor, John Paul II, inspired Poland’s Solidarity movement against communist rule in 1979.
People filled vast Pilsudski Square under a light drizzle and cloudy skies two hours ahead of time, determined to see Benedict pay tribute to his friend and mentor – one of the themes of his trip to Poland.
