John Paul called him a "courageous witness to the truth of the Scriptures," drawing long ap- plause from a crowd of several hundred thousand people. Sitting in the front row were the mother and sister of Judge Paolo Borsellino, a leading prosecutor killed in 1992. The pope's visit came as the Church suffers new intimidations.
