Young Catholics on the Francis Revolution

The Catholic church is discussing its future – but what do young Catholics want?

Pope Francis has launched the biggest consultation in the history of the Catholic church. Since the process started three years ago, millions of Catholics worldwide have given their responses to the question “What steps does the Spirit invite us to take in order to grow in our ‘journeying together?”

Responses to that question have differed depending on where in the world the respondent is from. Some answers have generated controversy. Now Bishops from across the globe are gathering at the Vatican in Rome to discuss the working document based on the consultation process. But for Pope Francis, this is not an administrative meeting – he’s said this synod is a unique assembly which has an important spiritual dimension, and he wants it to be “a religious moment.”

Following that lead, this special Heart and Soul is adopting a different format. Caroline Wyatt brings three young Catholics together to discuss the future of their church, as well as hearing the voices of others from around the world, to explore just what Pope Francis’s revolution means to them.
