how sad that so many of those commenting have no sense whatsoever of the breadth and scope of the Church's 2000 year history and that the folks at this gathering all calling the church back to its deepest roots in the mind and heart of Jesus, and not allowing the breath of fresh air from Vatican II to be snuffed out by the return to pre-Vatican II models of Church. If they only knew. Let's pray that wisdom will come with age, for the sake of our kids and grandkids.
What fascinates me the most is, other than a couple of youngish looking women in one shot, it certainly appears that 90% or more attending were senior citizens. If you want to find the Catholic youth - go to World Youth Day in Spain this summer. There the Catholic youth will come from around the world to show their support and love for Pope Benedict, and follow him where he is leading - straight to the heart of Christ.
A major difference in Jesus' challenge to the "hierarchy" and these folks'---Jesus is GOD! Jesus really KNEW the intent and the heart of the hierarchy of his day. These humans want the Church to be recreated after their OWN image. Give it up folks. Go be Protestants somewhere else, and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Their tassles are too long and their yoke is too heavy! Occupy Christianity.

How can these people even be Catholic?? This is a perversion hidden under the cloak of "acceptance."
