This week, Pope Benedict XVI was in Spain for World Youth Day, but not everyone was pleased to see him - we take a look at the Catholic and secular aspects of Spanish life. Also, it has been 20 years since the coup attempt that led to the fall of the Soviet Union, but some in Moscow say it is not an event to celebrate. And finally, Harry Potter creator J. K.

The Pope wears gold

Should the Spanish people not be up in arms about the Pope's visit? It will cost them that which they cannot afford right now.

The Pope wears gold, but should melt it down and give it away.
