Spain's King Juan Carlos (L) speaks with Pope Benedict XVI during their meeting at La Zarzuela Palace in Madrid, August 18, 2011. Hundreds of thousands of young pilgrims gave Pope Benedict XVI a rapturous reception as he presided over a lavish ceremony during Catholic festivities in a sweltering Madrid. The adoring welcome was in sharp contrast to scenes nearby, where baton-wielding anti-riot police dispersed about 150 anti-pope protesters who had gathered in a square.
