...John Paul spoke pit later with one of his strongest statements on what his church calls "family issues" at a twilight, open-air "Mass for the Christian Family." Police estimated 1.5 million people jammed the Pasco de la Castelluna, one of Madrid's main arteries...

In the morning, John Paul and his retinue expected to fly to Wales for an open-air Mass at Pontcanna Fields, in Cardiff. They were to conclude their pastoral visit in a final airport ceremony at Cardiff before returning to Rome...
