A general report on Benedict at WYD

An editorial:

It was by undertaking a spiritual journey towards Jesus Christ – he used repeatedly the metaphor of the Three Magi, whose relics are said to lie in Cologne Cathedral – that the individual blossomed into the person he or she was meant to be. From that it followed that a less than wholehearted commitment would cause them to fail to fulfil their potential. This is a much more profound and attractive approach to issues like human sexuality, and puts them in their context. The core strategy is to deepen the faith of the people, and let lesser matters fall into place of their own accord.
