An African woman wears a cross outside of the Amadou Ahidjo stadium, where Pope Benedict XVI gave mass, in Yaounde on March 19, 2009, the third day of his 6-day visit to Africa. Pope Benedict XVI held the first giant mass of his Africa tour, expressing solidarity with the continent's refugees and poor while steering clear of the international furore caused by his opposition to condoms.
