WYD: Communion in doubt for many at Sunday's mass

The storm that interrupted Saturday night’s prayer vigil at Madrid’s Cuatros Vientos airport did more than just prevent the Holy Father from completing his homily. Strong winds and driving rain damaged several large tents where the consecrated hosts were being stored for Sunday morning’s mass for World Youth Day. After conducting inspections of the tents and scaffolding, Spanish police decided to close some of the tents where the hosts were being stored because they were in danger of collapsing. Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi has explained that for these security reasons, many young people attending Sunday’s liturgy will not be able to receive Communion.
