Millions gather to celebrate Pope’s Copacabana Mass

[Locutus]

Throngs of pilgrims slept out on Copacabana beach overnight before a final Mass today caps Pope Francis’s week-long visit to Brazil.
As waves crashed ashore, groups of young believers who gathered in Rio de Janeiro for World Youth Day dipped their feet in the water or sang “hallelujah” to samba beats, while others tried to sleep amid the ruckus.

I find it funny that all these Catholic kids are making a pilgrimage to see the Pope even though Jesus Christ was against pilgrimages.
