For those following the conversations on this blog and elsewhere about the recent “Lost?” conference at Fordham, on twenty-somethings and the Catholic Church, a new round of conversation is up at the “Lost?” website. Right here, you can read some questions and comments posed by those who attended, and responses from several of the speakers (including James Martin, Lisa Cataldo, Bill McGarvey, Colleen Carroll Campbell, David Campbell, Jennifer Sawyer, and myself), with more responses to come. For reasons well-explored on this and other blogs, no one, of course, will take these responses as the last words on the topic. Perhaps they will at least provide occasion or assistance for those who want to think through the span of relationships that young adults take up to the Catholic Church today.
