“A synodal Church that wants vocations,” he explained, “has the duty to be welcoming to everyone in society, but it cannot build its testimony on sand, so it must rely on an anthropology firmly anchored in the Word of God.”

Likewise, the prefect emeritus of the Dicastery for Bishops emphasized that the congress is expected to “offer reasons for hope and commitment.”

He indicated that loneliness, individualism, excessive consumerism, addictions, suicides and other phenomena of secularized societies “have their roots in the decline of the family, the absence of points of reference, education subject to ideologies, globalization of indifference and the crisis of hope.
