ROME – In an open letter to the cardinals who will gather in the Sistine Chapel on Wednesday to elect the next pope, young people from around the world said they want a pope who is in touch with the needs of the world and allows them a voice in shaping the Church’s future.
“We stand at a crossroads. The death of Pope Francis does not mark the end of an era but serves as an invitation. An invitation to continue to hope. To move forward on the path he paved,” youth said in the letter, which is an initiative of the Belgian Catholic Church’s youth organization Kamino.
