I had heard that the Holy Father is calling this next year "Year of Spain." Beginning with his trip this weekend and ending with the World Youth Day in Madrid next summer. Anyone know anything more about this? Sounds like a great idea since Spain is one former Catholic country which has become secularized. Could this be the beginning of a trend? Bringing back Christianity to Europe? The torch is passed to the Catholic youth of Europe and the World!
