Later in parliament, Mr Rudd said World Youth Day was an important event for Australia
"not just for the Catholic faith in this country, but for the wider Christian community".
Dr Nelson said he strongly endorsed Mr Rudd's remarks.
"This is an extraordinarily important event for all Australians whether Catholics or
Christians because it is a celebration of faith," Dr Nelson told parliament.
"It's also of the fragile, yet powerful belief in hope.
"It's also a recommitment by all of us to young people, not only young Australians,
but all those young people throughout the world who are very much our future."
