World Youth Day 2011, August 15-21, in Madrid
“I am sure Madrid will be ready to welcome the Pope as he deserves for the next World Youth Day, which will be held in the Spanish capital in 2011”
“I am sure Madrid will be ready to welcome the Pope as he deserves for the next World Youth Day, which will be held in the Spanish capital in 2011,” Aguirre said in response to the announcement.
She said she shared the sentiments of Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouco Varela of Madrid, who said the event would “have important repercussions for the social, cultural and general life of Spain.”
Aguirre said she was “very happy” that Spain was chosen as the host city for the next World Youth Day and that “it will be a great opportunity for the young people of Madrid, whether they are Catholic or not, because the Pope is a worldwide authority.”

As you know Spanish Government ban visa for Pakistani Catholics. People are very aggressive at this time. They are almost lost their faith on the Church as they paid money to WYD Madrid. All the money of them is in Diocese of Madrid Account. They were not allow to attend the WYD in Madrid.
This is very very important that they will get their money back other way they lost their faith. They are already abusing us and disgracing us.
We will live here in these people and die in these people please do something that we can save our dignity and respect among these people. We are affriad they will not lost their faith on Catholic Church.
