NO.
Besides a FIRM NO, a gentle correction is in order.
First of all, it gives the RISEN KING OF KINGS Jesus GLORY when young people make a special holy pilgrimage to cites such as Rio, Madrid, Sidney, etc., to not only not be able to get closer to God but also be witnesses for the good news of the Gospel of Jesus.
Second because of WYD in years past, there has been an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religous life as well. So WYD has in that comment has produce good fruit.
Third, the young people ARE the future of the RC Church and gatherings such as WYD MUST be considered like a BIG spiritual retreat.
Any questions?
Well said, Biggirl, well said!!
