25,000 Bitter Young Catholics Clinging to Faith Flock to See Pope

25,000 teens from throughout the country flocked to Yonkers today to meet with Pope Benedict.

During their papal coverage FOX News went there with the “bitter” remarks:

These are people who are not “clinging” to their religion in any way.
…The crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to the 81 year-old pope!

UPDATE: Kelly Clarkson sang “Ave Maria” for the pope today during the ceremony.
She did an excellent job.
