Pope urges young to spurn materialism

Pope Benedict XVI said Sunday a 'spiritual desert' was spreading throughout the world and he challenged young people to shed the greed and cynicism of their time to create a new age of hope for humankind.

At a Mass before some 350,000 Roman Catholic pilgrims and a likely television audience of millions more, Benedict wrapped up the church's six-day World Youth Day festival. He urged young people in his more than 1 billion-strong flock to be agents of change because 'the world needs renewal.'
