The speech of Pope Benedict XVI to the German Bundestag, the lower house of parliament, is broadcast on a large screen at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin September 22, 2011. Pope Benedict urged the faithful not to leave the Roman Catholic Church on Thursday as he began a four-day visit to Germany, where record numbers have quit the pews in protest against clerical sex abuse of youths. About 100 left-wing deputies planned to boycott the pope's speech to the Bundestag, saying it violates the separation of church and state. REUTERS/Kai Pfaffenbach (GERMANY - Tags: RELIGION POLITICS)
