This week on “Inside the Vatican,” we unpack some of our main takeaways from Pope Francis’ new apostolic exhortation on young people, “Christus Vivit.”

Archbishop Gregory has been outspoken in denouncing racism and in advocating for the pope’s pastoral vision, he is perhaps most known for his role heading the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in the early 2000s.

Pope Francis speaks to the ‘now’ of God with his new letter to youth.

This dark moment, he writes, with the help of young people “can truly be an opportunity for a reform of epoch-making significance, opening us to a new Pentecost and inaugurating a new stage of purification and change capable of renewing the Church’s youth.

Aboard the papal plane, Francis spoke with reporters about the need to build solidarity, not barriers.

Among those attending the Mass was Brother Jean-Pierre Schumacher, O.C.S.O, the last monk survivor from the monastery of Tibhirine in Algeria.
