TV commentators unsure of what to make of young people's devotion to Pope

One of the things covered at arm's length regarding John Paul II is the attraction he had from young people. The mainstream media doesn't quite know how to associate a percieved secular youth culture with a pope who had conservative views and would not budge on so many moral issues. The truth could be that maybe this segment of the population is looking for something deeper than the media would have us believe. It was indeed because of, not in spite of, the pope's stances on these issues which attracted, and still attracts, young people to this day.
