These youth of the Jubilee try to work on themselves first, but they do not do so in a solitary way, but armed with a very strong spirit of community. In public life, secularism refers to behavior and it can unite believers and nonbelievers. It happens when the time arrives to end a confrontation, which,with the weakening of an ideological charter, has not reason to exist. There is no longer a confessional vision of public life. They have their ideas, but they express them through channels other than the traditional.
Political militancy is no longer an option.
They are very little interested in disputes over power and very much interested in specifying objectives. But this is not new. Cardinal Ruini is the Vicar of Rome and president of the Italian Episcopal Conference. But, above all, he has reflected that simplicity, immediacy, and spontaneity that distinguish his relations with youths. This happens when faith becomes a real life experience and develops a great capacity of relating to our neighbor.
