‘Catholic Church Need You,’ Pope Urges Youngsters Pope Francis wrapped up World Youth Day in Portugal on Sunday by insisting that the Catholic Church “needs young people as much as the earth needs the rain.” Francis delivered a mass to an estimated 1.5 million pilgrims, who had been treated to a reggae/hymn fusion DJ set amidst an extreme heat warning as temperatures hit 40°C, promising to return the event to Asia for the first time in three decades. The next edition in 2027 will be held in South Korea - where the share of Christians has shot up from 1% to 10% of the population in 50 years - when Francis will be 90 years old.
