September 12, 2023 Ines Angeli Murzaku 7

July 16, 2023 John M. Grondelski, Ph.D. 42

In the wake of the debacle over Cardinal-Designate Americo Aguiar’s remarks that World Youth Day (WYD) 2023 doesn’t intend to “convert” any youth because its goal was rather some kind of amorphous exercise in “fraternity,” […]
