These findings are in sharp contrast to the 2,000 young Catholics who in March took part in a Facebook group putting forward their beliefs to a small group who were writing a pre-synod report on the concerns of young Catholics. Many in the Facebook group were furious that their views on orthodox teaching and reverent liturgy, including promoting the Extraordinary Form, were not reflected in the final document.

According to that report the clarity-seekers are “a small but vocal group who want to draw the Church back into an era which they have been told was far better than it is today”. The second group, meanwhile, “adhere to the predominant narratives in society, wanting the Church to follow suit”. They are the much larger group – and it is clearly their voice that is being heard in this new survey.

What do people mean when they say “personal God”? What about seeking authenticity?
 
The church is led and it’s future is defined by those people who strongly commit to her.

As such I see the first Facebook group as being the future of the church.

It is a mistake to go chasing after the people who for all intensive purposes have already left and do not respect her.

If we ae going to draw them back then it is going to be through the resolve and enthusiasm of the first set of young people. IMHO.
