(From our correspondents in Sydney) – "We are expecting over one million young people in Madrid". It was forecast by the archbishop of the Spanish archdiocese, Card. Rouco Varela, today, while he was talking to the press, as soon as the Pope formally announced that the new World Youth Day would take place in the Spanish capital in 2011. The announcement was made at the Angelus taking place in Randwick, at the end of the Mass closing the World Youth Day in Sydney. "We are very happy and we feel it is our responsibility to set up this event added the Cardinal which we think it will take place during in the third week of August". The Cardinal pointed out that he was not "worried", because he had already had the experience of setting up the World Youth Day in Santiago de Compostela, in 1989. The Cardinal said he hoped for "the support of the whole Church: the Spanish, the European and the World Church". "From the government of my country, I expect collaboration added Cardinal Rouco Varela; as for the costs of this event, we shall rely on the providence".
