Close up of people kissing picture STORYLINE: Catholics worldwide celebrated the beatification of the late Pope John Paul II on Sunday, with the faithful turning out to pray, share treasured memories and watch Sunday's Vatican ceremony on giant televisions. In Australia, thousands of people gathered at St. Mary's Cathedral in Sydney to celebrate the beatification, with special prayer services being held inside and a carnival atmosphere outside in the grounds. Live coverage of the ceremonies in Rome was being broadcast on a giant screen in the cathedral's forecourt, with food stalls selling treats and music groups performing. Earlier in the day the Archbishop of Sydney, Cardinal George Pell conducted a short ceremony to bless a new statue of the late pontiff. The bronze statue will stand outside the cathedral. The popular pontiff has a wide following in the Philippines, Asia's largest predominantly Roman Catholic nation, where authorities foiled a plot to assassinate John Paul II during a visit in 1995. Thousands have lined up to touch or kiss the scant piece.
