Pope Benedict XVI has denounced drug-related violence in Mexico and urged young people to renounce it, ahead of his visit to the country.

On his way to Mexico, the Pope said it was vital "to fight this evil which destroys our young".

He spoke of teaching moral responsibility and ending "the worship of money which enslaves men".

After Mexico he will visit Cuba, where he said Marxism was no longer working.

He made it clear that "the Church is always on the side of freedom of thought and of religion".
