Some words of Pope Benedict spoken during the Hyde Park vigil to 80,000 people. The bulk of our parish group of 200 had, on the way there, run the gauntlet of the 5,000 “Protest the Pope” coalition march.
Speaking of the nearby Tyburn site of execution of numerous reformation martyrs he noted that "In our own time the price to be paid for fidelity … often involves being dismissed out of hand, ridiculed or parodied. And yet, the Church cannot withdraw from the task of proclaiming Christ and his Gospel as saving truth, the source of our ultimate happiness as individuals and as the foundation of a just and humane society.”
The demonstrators were made up of “Gay Rights” groups, The Humanist Association, the National Secular Society, pro-abortion groups, groups pro-formally distributing condoms in Africa groups (which public enabling of promiscuity has been shown to make things worse), as well as some representatives of some of the children inexcusably abused by a small minority of clergy. 200,000 later lined the same streets to greet the Pope on his way to Hyde Park
