Regarding “John Paul's Toronto Triumph” (Aug. 4-10):
I am so pleased to be able to say that, contrary to what the doom-and-gloom folks have been saying about our young people having no regard for anything, they have made quite an impression on me with the way they greeted the Holy Father on his visit to Canada.
Watching that truly remarkable man in his 80s take Toronto by storm, amid the cheers and praise of so many of the world's young folks and others, was a truly remarkable sight. They are so vocal in their praise and adoration of him. Frail he may be, but mover of the multitudes he is! These scenes most assuredly give the world hope that there are better times in store for us all.
