Andreas Herzau
IF GOD IS A DJ (Germany, 2005)
In 2005 Pope Benedict XVI called on youth to come to Cologne. There, in August, Catholic World Youth Day was being organized, and the Pope himself would be present. Young people complied in large numbers: thousands of young people visited the Youth Day, which thereby became a successful marketing instrument for the Catholic Church. As a popular event with prayer services and music, it had the extent and allure of well-known music festivals and dance parties all over the world. With World Youth Day, says Andreas Herzau, the Catholic Church created its own Woodstock.
