Italians – especially millennials – are becoming more sceptical of the Pope
Pope Francis spent much of this past weekend entertaining young people from all over Italy – some 70,000 of them, to hear the Vatican tell it – who had come to Rome with the Italian bishops’ national service for youth ministry.
The bishops organised the week-long pilgrimage as part of their efforts to prepare for the general assembly of the synod of bishops, which is scheduled to convene later this year to explore “Young People, the Faith, and Vocational Discernment”.
