Pope & Germany

NPR's Deidre Berger reports from Berlin where Pope John Paul the Second celebrated mass yesterday in the stadium Adolf Hitler built for the Olympics of 1936. The Pope beatified two German priests for their resistance to the Third Reich. The Pope omitted some phrases of his prepared speech that claimed the "entire" Roman Catholic church had fought against the tyranny of the Nazis.
