...cathedral late Thursday morning. Benedict will visit John Paul's hometown of Wadowice on Saturday, before an open-air mass on Sunday in Krakow, where John Paul served as archbishop, with one million faithful expected to attend. Benedict will close his trip with a solemn visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, where the occupying Nazi regime killed some 1.5 million people, most of them Jews.
