Pope visits Germany on first foreign trip

Pope Benedict XVI landed in Cologne, Germany, his native land, for his first trip abroad as the new pope. He will be leading World Youth Day, an event organized under the previous pope that aims to help bring new strength to the Roman Catholic Church in a post-Christian Europe. Over 400,000 people pre-registered for the event and coordinators say crowds could reach up to one million for Sunday's mass which is to be celebrated by the Pope. Thousands have already gathered around Cologne's famed Cathedral.
