Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone has said that Pope Benedict will bring “a message of encouragement, especially to young people" when he arrives in Mexico tomorrow. Fr Edward Flanagan, founder of Boys Town, was formally declared a Servant of God at a Mass in Omaha, Nebraska, last weekend. Archbishop-designate William Lori has said that the new evangelisation will be his top priority in Baltimore. Tim Stanley says that commentators should wait until they have all the facts before they blame the Catholic Church for castrating young Dutch men in the 1950s.
