Do you want to see Bad Bunny or the Pope?
I think that Pope Leo is really in touch with the spiritual crisis that many young people are facing in today’s world.
Aboard the papal plane from Rome to Madrid earlier today, Christopher Lamb, the Vatican correspondent for CNN, asked the Pope what he thought about the number of young people showing interest in the faith.
In his response, Pope Leo made reference to the concert that Bad Bunny has tonight in Madrid:
“If they [young people] are confronted with the question: do they want to see Bad Bunny or do they want to see the Pope, I think many will go to see Bad Bunny. But I think there will also be a few here to see the pope. And that too says something, you know.”
Leo added that “young people are looking for something more, having grown up in many cases without that, if you will, spiritual dimension in their lives, they realize there’s an emptiness, and there’s a lack of a sense of meaning, and perhaps my visiting has helped to awaken even further something, that they are even not sure how they might define.”
