It is to laugh! Francis has managed, singlehandedly, to destroy the Papal 'cult of personality' that existed for 40 years!
From Gloria.tv
Alessandro Gisotti, the Interim Director of the Holy See Press Office, admitted (January 18) that only about 150,000 people have signed up for World Youth Day in Panama (January 22 to 27).
He hopes more to come who have not registered.The location for the main event has a capacity of 700.000 people.
Gisotti excuses the small crowd explaining that students in North America and Europe are at school.
At the last three World Youth Days in Spain (2011), Brazil (2013) and Poland (2016) there were between 2 and 4 million people.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
