KTO French Catholic TV will have the key broadcasts available in its archives to watch later. The commentary is in French, and for those who do not understand French, the videos are still useful to enjoy the liturgy, to see the Holy Father, and to enjoy the reactions of those present. Click on "Regarder la Video." When the video opens in a small screen, if you want to watch in Real Player to get a larger screen, click on "Si aucune video ne s'affiche, cliquez ici," and the video should open in Real Player (or perhaps another application on someone else's computer -- I get a full screen video on Real Player on mine that way. Here are links to the KTO videos (available later today or perhaps tomorrow):
