Video: Archdiocese of Cincinnati and Diocese of Harrisburg 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:

Archdiocese of Cincinnati under Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk

My rating: 6/10. The video is very informative, but I do prefer to see bishops become personally involved in the presentation of their diocese to the Holy Father. And I especially wish that dioceses would spend more time presenting their liturgical and devotional life. Sacraments make the Church, after all. (CCC 1118)

Next up, the Diocese of Harrisburg under Bishop Kevin Rhoades. You can watch it here (WMV).

My rating: 7/10. This video does a good job of describing more properly Catholic features of the diocese, and incorporates the theme of Pope Benedict's visit. And they pray for the pope and his visit.
