M. Michela Nicolais
Card. Lorenzo Baldisseri, general secretary of the Synod of Bishops, presented to the press the document that concluded the pre-Synod, which was attended by 300 young people at the Vatican and 15 thousand through social media. Opening the proceedings last Monday, the Pope was entertained with the protagonists of the initiative for three and a half hours. He will receive the document, which will form an integral part of the Instrumentum laboris of the October Synod, from the hands of a young man from Panama "Challenges and opportunities of young people in today's world; faith and vocation, discernment and accompaniment; educational and pastoral action of the Church ". To deliver the text in the hands of Francis, announced the cardinal, will be a young man from Panama, the nation that will host the next World Youth Day in 2019. At the pre-Synod attended 15,300 young people, among those present in these days in the Vatican and those connected via social networks from all over the world.

And another snip:
Young people, in particular, are deeply involved and interested in topics such as sexuality and addictions and on major social problems, such as organized crime and trafficking in human beings, violence, corruption, exploitation, femicide, every form persecution and degradation of the natural environment. Among the fears, social, political and economic instability. There is no lack of accents of "mea culpa", as for racism at different levels which finds fertile ground even in the youth world.
ARGH! What happened to talking about Catholicism?!
Don’t give me a Church of passion, give me a Church clothed in the mantel of a focus group.


And from The Pope Francis Little Book of Insults:
"Sourpuss!"
"Pickled pepper-faced Christian!"
"Mr and Mrs Whiner!"
"Long-faced, mournful funeral Christian!"
The Catholic Church has the fullness of Christ truly present in the Eucharist and will not fall, regardless of the many sins of its members and leaders.
Doesn’t this bear the fingerprints of George Soros as well as Bergoglio’s?
When loosing, use “the children”. As in the Anti-Second Amendment marches this weekend.
Same damn bunch of crooks and swindlers operating in different spheres.
The same goal NEW WORLD ORDER.
Spot on.
