The generation of Catholics who have come of age since Vatican II is different in many respects from Catholics of their parents' generation. These younger people have grown up in a world - and a Church - which has changed tremendously in a very short period of time. They were raised in a society which encouraged them to question what their parents accepted on faith. They were formed by a system of religious education which was in many ways struggling to keep up with rapid social change.
John Paul II is a pope for these times. He recognized that today's young Catholics have many questions. He sees emerging in them a deep and sincere faith struggling for definition and for support. In response, he has designated a special, bi-annual event - World Youth Day - where he comes to them to bring the truth and love of the Roman Catholic Church.
In this book, Mary Bonacci joins with John Paul II in bringing young Catholics a clear understanding of the Church and their role in it. She takes his quotes from five of the World Youth Day events and 'unpacks' them, explaining the truths of the faith clearly and concisely. This book is perfect for the Catholics of "Generation X" and for Catholic 'youth' of any age who wish to understand and deepen their faith.
