World Youth Day tied to 'culture of pilgrimage.' - includes related article on anti-Catholic reaction to the papal visit

National Catholic Reporter, July 2, 1993 by Peter Hebblethwaite

Robert Feeney, spokesman for the Denver archdiocese, said Kremer's tract drive represents nothing new. "Anti-Catholicism is as American as apple pie. It is the deepest bias in the fabric of American history," he said. "They have just taken old tracts that have been circulating for years and put new covers on them."

Overall, the spirit of anti-Catholicism isn't playing a big part in the World Youth Day scenario, Archbishop Francis Stafford told NCR. "I sense a great deal of support in the (Denver) metro area, even from the media."
