Hundreds of thousands is a wide approximation. I remember last year at a similar rally in Madrid the same figure was given. Well, whether it was two hundred or nine hundred thousand, that’s a huge gathering. Viva la santa fe in Espana! There was also an outdoor Mass offered, no doubt, in reparation for the socialist government’s anti-life, anti-family policies promoting moral corruption. Three hundred priests and twenty-eight bishops attended, while Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouco Varela officiated. Pope Benedict addressed the crowd by video during his Sunday Angelus talk.
