(From our correspondents in Sydney) – With the arrival of the Pope at Sydney Airport, the XXIII World Youth Day reaches climax in Australian media, too. "The Sunday Telegraph" opens with a whole-page photo of Benedict XVI with a writing above it: "Welcome"; in the inner pages, it is announced by a reference in the cover, the opening message of the World Youth Day is published entirely "for Sydney and the pilgrims". Inside the newspaper, three pages are devoted to the event, together with the leading article and an insert with the programme and the week’s events. "The atmosphere in the city it is said in the leading article is changing with the arrival of a landslide of joyful and smiling pilgrims. They are friendly, enthusiastic and totally distant from the cynicism often rendering our society so low". There is a reference in the front page also for "The Sun Herlad", proposing the words spoken by the Pope, during the flight, in relation to the sex scandals involving exponents of the Australian Church, and the heading is: "The Pope is sorry for the clergy’s sins".
