II. Toward a Participatory Ecclesiology: Catholic Students and the Quest for Ecclesial Adulthood
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 June 2022
Extract
In his 2019 post-synodal apostolic exhortation, Christus Vivit, Pope Francis identifies an important challenge for the church today. “Youth ministry,” he writes, “has to be synodal; it should involve a ‘journeying together’ … through a process of co-responsibility … Motivated by this spirit, we can move towards a participatory and co-responsible Church.”
