Video: Dioceses of Rochester and Corpus Christi welcome the pope

Dioceses in the United States are sending welcome videos to Pope Benedict XVI which will be played at Nationals Stadium before his Mass on April 17th. Two more videos get added to that growing list today:

Diocese of Rochester, under Bishop Matthew Clark:

My rating: 7/10. Simple, straightforward, innocuous. I wish the diocese were the same.

Second, the Diocese of Corpus Christi under Bishop Edmond Carmody - which you can see here (WMV file).

My rating: 10/10. The bishop proudly introduces his diocese, the ecclesiology is sound, the music selection is moving, and the video even has a sense of drama. It makes for a real sock-knocker!

Previous videos in this series that I have watched and rated:

• Part 6: Diocese of Arlington (8/10)
• Part 5: Diocese of Providence and Diocese of Charlotte (6/10 & 9/10)
• Part 4: Archdiocese of Baltimore (9/10)
• Part 3: Archdiocese of Los Angeles (1/10)
• Part 2: Diocese of San Diego (6/10)
• Part 1: Diocese of Buffalo and Archdiocese of Chicago (4/10 & 7/10)
