**Returning to the theme of orthodoxy, the Pope warned the bishops that "Many people abandon the Church or, if they remain, they accept only a part of Catholic teaching." He counselled that "Young people, in fact, are not looking for a Church which panders to youth but one which is truly young in spirit; a Church completely open to Christ, the new Man." **
BTTT. There is a lot of hope (at least for me) in these young people!

The Spirit calls us to His Truth. We know in our hearts what that is and is not. Children know it most readily, without worldly baggage and justifications piled on yet.
Seems the MSM didn't pay much attention to this large gathering of young people. I wonder how they would have covered 500,000 youth at a MoveOn.org event.
