2013 World Youth Day: report by DICI
Some news from DICI about the World Day of Youth held in Rio de Janeiro.
This account of World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro records the words and actions of Pope Francis on his first international trip, and contains valuable information as such.
Alongside reminders of the Cross and Christian combat can be found other themes to which he has referred frequently since the beginning of his pontificate, including synodality, collegiality, and interreligious dialogue… which he has intentionally promoted on his return to Rome by sending, on August 2, a message of “appreciation and friendship” to Moslems for the end of Ramadan.
During the last months of this year, the Curia reform that was announced and the appointment of prefects to the major dicasteries will demonstrate how these themes will be implemented institutionally.
