Pope Francis is scheduled to
begin his first foreign trip, with a weeklong tour of Latin America. His first
stop will be Brazil, amidst tight security.
The pontiff will be greeted by some two million young people from all
over the world at the Roman Catholic World Youth Day festival in Rio de
Janeiro.

The first Latin American Pope will
also celebrate Mass on the famous Copacabana beach and visit shanty towns. Prior to the visit, the 76-year-old Pope from
Argentina called on his followers to join him spiritually on his journey
through prayer.
The Vatican says it has full confidence in the ability
of Brazilian security forces to protect the pontiff during his visit.
