Pope Benedict XVI has addressed tens of thousands of young Catholics in Brazil, telling them to resist the temptations of wealth, power and other "snares of evil", and urging them to promote life from "its beginning to natural end".
Approximately 40,000 people packed the Sao Paulo stadium to hear the speech from the head of the Roman Catholic church, which included various references to the Church's prohibitions on abortion and euthanasia.
The visit is Pope Benedict's first pilgrimage to Latin America, during which he has touched on sexual themes with a call for fidelity between spouses and chastity "both within and outside marriage".
