Pope John Paul II carries cross at Rome Good Friday
Pope John Paul II, 82, wheeled into the Colosseum for Good Friday prayers as thousands of torches flickered. He sat in a chair and read remarks due to Parkinsons symptoms while Iraqi family members carried the cross in solidarity. He later heard confessions at St. Peter's Basilica and will lead Holy Week services and an Easter Mass focusing on war victims.
