"Youths" . . .

Eucharistic procession at the National Catholic Youth Conference
Kansas City, Missouri 2009

We repeated hear of "youths" rampaging in Paris or some other European city, the generic designation almost never qualified further, leaving the impression that these riots have nothing whatsoever to do with religiously rooted passions. Well, in defense of the "youths" who are slandered by such sloppy reporting, here is a story of a great huge number of "youths" on the march. My guess is that there wasn't even a candy-bar wrapper left to clean up afterward.
