"It’s a wonderful thing to see so many young people celebrating. The Pope is incredibly happy, actually he is speechless, seeing all this love. The theology of this papacy can be seen here. There’s emotion amidst the population of Cologne, because over these days it has been one of the most visited places in the world. It is nice also that here so many people discover the Sacrament of Reconciliation. An example for the whole world". This was the statement made to SIR this morning by the Head of the Vatican Press Room, Joaquín Navarro Valls, on the parvis of the Cathedral of Cologne, invaded by pilgrims on their way to Marienfeld.
