The issues that concern young Asians are different from those of their counterparts in the West, the Indian cardinal said.

Pakistan’s Supreme Court has overturned the death sentence of Asia Bibi, a Catholic mother of five.

The cardinals and bishops who participated in the synod may have “a little more wisdom,” but the young people “have the enthusiasm and the creativity to help us bring Jesus Christ to the world.”

There is “a wonderful spirit” at the synod and Cardinal Nichols thinks this is due to the fact that “we’ve gone from talking about young people and from talking to young people, to talking with them. In a strange sort of way it’s become what Pope Francis means by synodality.”

Vatican official says people must not succumb to fear mongering and realize that the challenge of migration today is solvable—but only if there is political will.

“Jesus finds people where they are, but he never leaves them where they are.”
