(From our correspondents in Sydney) – "Spain is a meeting point for both Europe and Latin America. Therefore, setting up the World Youth Day in Madrid was a really positive choice". It was declared to SIR by Concha Padilla, one of the young Spanish in Sydney on the occasion of the WYD. "I am sure she added that an event like this is good for the Spanish society, which has really been changing recently. Lots of young people don’t believe in anything any more, and perhaps the World Youth Day will be useful to touch their consciences".” “IsabelBorges is happy about the choice of Madrid, because "Spain is a land which loves the Pope, and on this occasion, the people will be able to show him all their affection". According to José María Palàez, the Madrid WYD "will be important to approach many Spanish people which are distant from faith today". In this 2008, the Spanish Church is busy with the youth mission, "thanks to which added Palàez the various components of the youth pastoral worked together. Now, this experience is very useful with a view to the preparation and setting up of the World Youth Day". ” ” ” “
