CNA: Pope receives enthusiastic greeting in Spain

The Catholic News Agency's David Kerr describes the scene greeting Pope Benedict XVI's arrival in Madrid:
Pope Benedict was accompanied along the entire route by the cheers of hundreds of thousands of pilgrims who chanted “Benedicto! Benedicto!” while showering the popemobile with confetti and balloons. Home-made banners were also in great evidence, with one displaying the message “From Madrid to Heaven with the Pope.”
