Die Weltjugendtags-gGmbh hat die neusten Zahlen zum Weltjugendtag
bekannt gegeben - von der Zahl der angemeldeten Pilger bis hin zu den
100.000 Kilometern, die das Weltjugendtagskreuz zurück gelegt hat.
Nicht bekannt ist laut WJT-Geschäftsführer Johanns die Zahl der
angemeldeten Pilger, die kein Visum bekommen hat. Johanns: "Mich würde
auch viel mehr interessieren, wie viele hier geblieben sind."
After the end of the World Youth Day, WYD Ltd. has published figures
about almost everything. The number of pilgrims or the number of
kilometers the WYD cross has travelled. Not included in the list is the
number of registered pilgrims without a visa.

If you are not able to create unity yourself you should not permanently call the world to unity," she told Bayrischer Rundfunk radio. She said she hoped Pope Benedikt would send a clear signal during the meeting with protestent church representatives today.

pilgrims have their accomodations taken away to be sent overnight to
the open space at Marienfeld. With between 39 and 51 percent
probability of rain forecast at the moment.
Die Deutschen
haben zwar den Ruf, systematisch und effektiv die Dinge angehen. Aber
während des Weltjugendtages lernen die Zuständigen zu improvisieren,
sei es beim Nahverkehr, bei der Verteilung des Essens an die Pilger
oder auch bei der Betreuung der Medien. Das höchste Risiko sind die
Organisatoren für die Nacht zum Sonntag eingegangen. Die Pilger haben
