"SYDNEY, Australia - Pope Benedict XVI ended his farthest pilgrimage Sunday, one intended to inspire a new generation of faithful while trying to overcome a dark chapter for his church from a clerical sex abuse scandal.
Summing up his message, Benedict told young pilgrims at a Mass in Sydney that a "spiritual desert" was spreading throughout the world and challenged them to shed the greed and cynicism of their time to create a new age of hope.
The Vatican said some 350,000 faithful from almost 170 countries packed the Randwick race track — many of them camping out in sleeping bags in the mild chill of the Australian winter — as well as a global television audience. "
